The Morning News with Allie

This is a good one! See if you can figure it out.

You're right again Kim! Click on the comments to see her answer. I should title this one "Shirts vs. Skins" (although it looks like everyone is skins). Both Aunt Elaine and Grandma Sharon were able to figure this one out too. Good Job!!

Winter Break Update

We had a great Christmas day. Santa stopped at our house and left the kids lots of nice gifts. He even filled Mom's and Dad's stockings, too.





On December 26th, the girls and I went back home to Iowa to visit my Mom. We had a great time visiting with lots of friends and family. We also celebrated Meredith's 3rd birthday while we were there.






Birthday cakes are a big deal at our house. The same woman, Mary Jean, made all of my birthday cakes when I was growing up. And so far, she's made all of the girls' cakes, too. This year Meredith asked for a Care Bear cake. We had pizza and cake with friends from my hometown on Friday. And on Saturday, we traveled up north to meet my best friend, Colleen, and her family at Cody Bear's Cave in Mason City, Iowa.

See those handsome boys...that's Nash, Dade, and Kale.




I also got to see all my "Hen" friends. At Kimmy Sue's house, her mom got out the Fashion Plates and this huge Barbie Camper for the girls to play with. It was like a flashback to Christmas 1977! LeAnn and I did a little shopping in beautiful downtown Clarion. And on the way home to Wausau, we stopped at Heidi's in Minneapolis to have lunch.
