All over for another....

Its all over for another year. We have been busy ever since Friday. We have had parties every day and today is our first day of being home all day!
We had Gregs family party on Friday. My family on Saturday and then our party on Christmas. We are all partied out. We had lots of food every time we had a party too. So I have probably gained about 20 lbs. over the holidays. Well... not that much!
Alanna got lots of toys. She loved every one of them too. She would play and then get to wondering for something else and we would let her open another one. She was most enjoyable. She got a hippo to walk behind that picks up blocks and helps her to learn to walk and she did well with it. Her Aunt wanted to knock her down so she wouldn't learn to walk. Of course she was only kidding but she doesn't want her to grow up. She got a dino. that you put balls in and he roars and makes music she loved him too. She was just a jamming to it. She got enough stuff yesterday that she didn't even get to open her stocking stuff so she still has just a few things to open.
Although its been a tough year for our family, she has been the best part of it and the best Christmas present we could have ever asked for. Each day she brings us a smile on our face no matter what the day has given to us.
Everyone got pictures from Alanna this year as their presents from her. They all loved them. Its funny to me how each person picks out a picture they like that is different from everyone else as their favorite. They had many poses to choose from. Daddy doesn't stop at just one. If shes smiling he snaps pictures until she is spent and ready for more exploring.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I hope you all have a Happy New Year!!!!
