Good Luck With This One... Santa!!!

Well my little Allyssa just informed me that she wrote a letter to Santa and she told him.... "All I want for Christmas is to Move Back to Ramsey, Illinois"!!!!
(sigh) grabbing the kleenex.... Breaks my heart....
Please say a little prayer for Allyssa to find a way to accept our living in Missouri, and for her to better handle being away from our FAMILY!
God Bless and Thanks!

Allyssa's 3rd Grade Western Christmas Program

 

We just got home from Allyssa's Christmas Program at school.... and I'm sooo excited to get these posted, I just LOVED the program. All the kids did such a great job! Allyssa had alot of fun squaredancing with Carson.... Also at the Program Mr. Owen the principal, announced Student of the Month... so Allyssa was recognized!! Yeah Allyssa!

Allyssa's Gymnastics

 

Xtreme Gymnastics offered pictures back in Sept. and we finally got them a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I would share them. Allyssa's getting ready to move up a level or possibly 2 levels and will be competing on the Team Next August! She really enjoys going to gymnastics and has been doing a great job.

Seeing Santa

 

Allyssa was able to see Santa at the Jonesboro Mall and tell him her wish list... A telescope!! She was excited since this is the first year she says she wasn't Afraid of Santa :) Santa was very Very VERY tired... he fell asleep between each child's turn!!

Not a Disney Parade for Sure... But Pretty Good For THE BLUFF!

Friday evening we braved the very very cold and went to watch the lighted Christmas Parade in Downtown Poplar Bluff. Unfortunately the pictures didn't turn out very well, and I got way too exited when Santa came by and missed him completely, I only got Allyssa looking at him go by.... the date is also wrong on the last several pictures I've posted... 2008 don't think so.... I think I've got it fixed now though!
After the parade we came back home and Donna, Emily and Jacob (our neighbors) came over for hot chocolate and the kids enjoyed playing together while Donna, Bob and I visited!

New Favorite Place.... The Carson Spring

Grandma Peggy has taken her grandkids down to The Carson Cross and Spring and They Just LOVE it... Allyssa has decided it's her new Fav. place, so we've made a few trips there while back in Illinois! The weather was just perfect this day in late November so we took advantage of it and after the spring we went to Ramsey Lake and Princess and Allyssa played and played.... It was a great day!

It's Beginning to Look a little Like Christmas

Allyssa and Alex helped me decorate the Christmas tree while Bob did the outside lights! We had alot of fun and a busy day but it looked sooo pretty that night when all was finished! Now just gotta get busy w/ the shopping!
