Christmas Day

Christmas Day proved to be a bit stormy. Travel was not advised in our area, but you know us! We packed up the pickup and late morning we left for Rochester. Once we got out onto the interstate the weather/roads were fine. Paul drove the speed limit (yeah right) the whole way.

We got to Jeremy, Kara & Allie's house in time for a wonderful meal of prime rib. Yum yum.

After waiting patiently all day long & then having to wait until after supper Allie finally got to open her gifts from us. She got a new jewelry box and plenty of "jewels" from us.

She told me she couldn't decide which necklace to wear so she was going to wear three at one time. "However, grandma, the cupcake one is my favorite".

Grandpa Denny & Grandma Pat drove over from Nelson to spend the evening with us. (They are home from Florida for approx. 1 month. )

Oops....I forgot to rotate this photo....too late, I am not changing it now...sorry!

Grandpa put Allie inside this huge Christmas stocking - what a silly little girl!

Grandpa Denny does his own shopping & did well this year. Allie got a "Littlest Pet Shop" critter from him and hauled it everywhere that weekend.

This is what my dear little granddaughter does everytime I tell her to smile for the camera.

I have better luck when she doesn't know the camera is on.

Shoot...more sideways pics....oh well!

I helped Allie get ready for bed. Looks like she didn't get the one thing she really needed.... bigger jammies!!!

We laughed hysterically at them and told her to go tell Grandpa Paul that she needed some money to get new pajamas....what a poor little orphan!

She had bigger pj's in her drawer, but was too busy playing to let me put them on her.

(Note the box - Kara got a dishwasher for Christmas - it just wasn't installed yet.)

Yup....Grandpa needs to get that girl some bigger jammies. Allie you are so cute, thanks for giving us such a good laugh!
