Merry Christmas 2009!

The Allen family had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. We got to spend lots of time with family and friends. Emily received lots of wonderful, thoughtful gifts and really got into the spirit of the season this year. She welcomed Santa into her house better than I thought that she would. She fell in love with the movie The Polar Express, she rod the train at the mall, loved looking at Christmas lights always exclaiming," so beautiful!" as she would see a display that she liked. I would say out of all of her nice thoughtful gifts this Christmas she liked her Dora umbrella the best and keeps walking around the house saying, "it's raining, need umbrella"! And proceeds to open and shut the umbrella all over the house multiple times a day. We are still waiting on our biggest present of all. Baby boy Allen will soon be making his appearance mid February and I am positive Emily is going to be a great big sister.
