Drawings & Writings

These are some fun Thanksgiving notes that Emlyn worked on at school and home.

This is the first book Alison wrote and illustrated.

 Alison drew this picture of her mom and dad.

 Emmy moved to the bunk bed room to share with Alison. This was the sign Alison and Eve drew to celebrate sharing the room together.

Scooter in the Snow

Eve loves to ride Alison's scooter. Every time she hears the garage door open, she is outside on her sister's scooter or her bike in an instant. We had a big snow storm, and while Aaron was trying to shovel the driveway, Eve was trying desperately to ride her scooter in the 6 inches of snow. Eventually she fell down and got snow in her boots, so she gave up this futile endeavor. We had a good laugh at Eve's determined little spirit.

Alison's 5th Birthday

 We had a fun PJ/blankie party for Alison's 5th birthday. Alison talked about having a blankie party for a very long time. She loves her pink 'bumpy' baby blanket.

 Alison is such a sweet girl. It's hard to believe that she is old enough to go to Kindergarten in the fall. I know Emmy is so excited to have her sister go to school with her, and Alison is getting excited about going to the big girl school also.

Alison's favorites:

Color - purple

Food - avocados, corn dogs, and all treats

Toys - Alison loves to play with her sisters. They love to play kitties, mom and dad, and school. She loves to play with her doll, little princess dolls and dollhouse, and color pictures.

Dance - Alison started ballet in September. She loves to dance around the house. 

Family - Alison loves to pick out daddy's tie for church. She likes to echo her sisters and make them mad. She loves to read books and write her name on everything. She has learned how to spell everyone's name in our family.

Music - Alison started the 1st year of Let's Play Music in August. She loves music and playing the tone bells.

School - She attends Giggles N Wiggles Preschool taught by Natalie Davies. Her friends are Ady Myers, Autumn Stagg, and Breck Shepherd. We have a great carpool with our friends.

 This Hello Kitty make-up gift from Autumn was Alison's favorite present.

 Alison loves her new Cinderella Play-Doh toy from Ady.

 Alison decided that she wanted to have icecream sundaes for her birthday treat. So, I bought her a couple of cupcakes for blowing out candles.

Alison loves the new pillow case from Breck. 

Alison has always claimed that she will marry her daddy when she gets older. The other day, she said, "First, I will marry daddy. But, if I can't marry daddy, then I will marry Breck."
