Christmas 2007

We celebrated Christmas just as a family in our home for the first time. We had a blast watching Kylee's excitement and being Santa (shh..) As fun as it was we sure missed family but are thankful that Alexis is healthy and doing well as we continue to make it through RSV season. We want to thank our parents for spoiling our kids as usual. You definitely helped pack our tree with presents. We've had fun throughout the month visiting Hershey Park, decorating, having visits from my parents and Skylar's mother, and of course celebrating Christmas.
Kylee loved all of her gifts but has been having a great time taking care of her baby doll that talks to her. It is the funniest thing...."No baby, we can't play right now I'm changing your nasty diaper." "Ok, just a second and I'll tell you a story" "Mom, my baby is starving I have to give her a bottle or Mom, can you watch her for a minute while I go the bathroom." Alexis continues to be entertained the most by just watching Kylee move around non-stop or trying to eat what ever toy Kylee is playing with. She was in good spirts Christmas morning and loved sucking on the wrapping paper.

Christmas Dresses

Well, after buying almost every dress in the store awhile ago with my Mom to make sure the sizes weren't picked over we decided on these ones...and we loved them!!! It is so fun to put the girls in matching clothes when it works out and I need to thank Grandma for all her help finding the girls their dresses. Kylee has had fun getting dressed up, wearing her "clipity-clop" shoes and doing her make-up with Mom. Sorry I didn't post these pictures earlier but Merry belated Christmas! We just love this little miracle girl and all her smiles!

After about 20 tries we finally got one with Kylee's real smile.

We hope you all had a great Christmas! We had a nice quiet one just the 4 of us and I hope to post pictures from it soon.

T'was the month of December


T'was the month of snowy December
At the Alsop's Hershey Abode,
Kylee awaited her presents eagerly
Full of excitement and ready to explode.

"I have really been good Daddy,"
"I've been sharing all my toys,"
"I am nice to all my friends,
and not making too much noise."

Her plea was considered thoughtfully
And a visit from Santa was forcast.
What would we do without children?
They make Holidays such a blast.

We hope everyone is doing great
The air is full of good cheer,
To all of you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!
