Mini-Matt

 Everyone (absolutely everyone) comments how much Charlie looks like Matt.

Charlie talking to me!  He has a lot to say! :)

Allie being Allie

 Allie has a thing for bringing her blankets, beanbags, blankets, etc. into whatever room we are in and making herself comfortable.  In the top picture, she decide she should watch the muffins bake.  In the bottom, she was feeling really tired, so she made a bed in the kitchen and actually feel asleep!  The cutest thing was when Napoleon joined her!

Allie's 4th Birthday!!!!

 Celebrating with her family!

 Elsa seems to be missing her mouth!  Still cute, but how can she sing?

 Happy Birthday to you!

 Allie adores Emmie, she talks about how Emmie is her favorite!

 Presents!

Proud mom!  Love these peanuts more than words!

I felt like Allie had been four long before she had her birthday!  I would often have to remind myself that she was only 3!  She is such a happy, funny and smart little girl!  She is a little engineer and she constantly impresses me with the things that she comes up with.  She is great at playing independently and is willing to give into Claire's demands to make things easier!  She finally got her scooter for her "big" present and flies around on it with confidence.  She is such a girly girl and picked out a pink one with a new kitty cat helmet to match.  She loves to sing, write, paint, build and play games.  Her favorite shows are Team Umizoomi, Daniel Tiger and she still loves Little Einsteins.  Her favorite foods are french fries, (with ketchup!), chocolate milk, and edamame.  She loves Grace preschool and Mrs. Chantry.  At night, she says her prayers, followed by singing the Johnny Appleseed blessing, followed by the pledge of allegiance and then she sings "You're a Grand Old Flag."  It's quite a process, but always adorable. She sings, "every heart BEEPS true for the red, white and blue."  It kills me!  Allie brings so much laughter into our lives and we adore her to pieces!

Allie and Dane attend "nature" on Mondays.  Miss Shannon on the left is so sweet and she calls Allie her fashionista.  Allie loves to dress to impress, but she can still get messy!

Gingerbread House

We decorated our annual gingerbread house a little early this year!  It was the first time that Allie participated!  We used a lot of our Halloween candy!

Early November

I love this baby and I can't get enough of his cuteness!  He sleeps so well in his Fisher-Price Rock & Play!  He is sleeping through the night and it's wonderful!

 Smiles galore!

 Allie likes taking pictures with Charlie!

 Hanging with his adoring sisters!
