Better late then never

 Well, it has been a long time since I last updated my blog. It sure goes by fast. Anyway, here are some pictures we took when we were at Anna & Strattons for Christmas.
I gave Bill a book I had made with all the pictures of our house as we were remodeling it over the last 3 years.  He was pretty excited and Adeline had so much fun passing out all the packages.
 This one was for her. It was so funny how she really examined each item as if to think, wow, this is pretty neat.
 Christmas stockings are always my favorite. I love to fill them and love to open them.
 We got this little fooze ball table game and had a ball with it. It was surprisingly a big hit and I went back to the store and bought one to have at our house. For the kids of course  mmmm.
 The pictures are not in order as you can see. Stratton was opening the Fooze ball.
 Here is another one not in order. The picture down below is of Anna and Stratton searching for the pickle ornament. You can see who won.  I think Anna found it in about 20 seconds. Drat, I thought I hid it harder then that.
 Little Grayson trying to figure out what was going on.  He seems to be always thinking.  I actually think he saw me in my new pj's from Aunt Donna and thought , "who is this crazy woman and why is she here?"

 I love them Donna!  They are comfy and warm and fun. Can't beat that combo.
 Bill and I were just in NC last weekend (2/9/13) and I got two pics of our little Allen gang. Grayson loves to sit in his Bumbo chair and be part of the action. At the rate he is growing, we will need a lazyboy before too long.
Little Adeline was doing a bit of painting in her new yellow sweater.
That is all I took. We had a nice time and got to stay for 4 days since Bill had work to do in Charlotte.
I came home with a cold unfortunately and grogged through work on Tuesday. I left early from work on Wed since I had finished all the things anyone wanted from me.  It was good to get home early and get some needed rest.  I finally slept well last night so I think I am on the upswing although the tissue box would proclaim otherwise.
Happy Valentines day to everyone. Hope you have the sweetest day ever.
