Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day

• I was whining while Grandma was getting ready for work, so she put me in bed with Mommy and Daddy before leaving.
• I cuddled with Daddy until he got up, then cuddled with Mommy before deciding it was time to get out of bed and eat breakfast.
• After Mommy woke up, we went to the mall and walked around and did some shopping.  I love shopping.  I especially pointed out all of the mirrors in the store while Daddy was shopping for shirts.
• I got to ride a puppy dog truck and it was super fun!  It made silly noises when I pushed the button.
• I helped Mommy and Daddy pick out toys for Payton and Keegan and went to another couple of stores before heading back to Grandma and Grandpa's.  
• Once we got to Grandma and Grandpa's I had a quick snack before my nap. I cuddled with Mommy and we napped together.
• Once Grandma got home, Mommy and Daddy went on a date.  I stayed and played with Grandma and Grandpa.  I wore Littles toy on my ankle.  
• I needed a snack and Grandma told me to wait until the big hand on the clock was pointing at the 1 and 2.  As soon as it was 8:00, I told Grandma that it was time for a snack.
• I went to bed like a big girl for Grandma and Grandpa.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day

• I was sound asleep this morning at 8:30 when Mommy and Daddy came in to wake me up.  They told me Santa had stopped to see me and left me presents so I was in a hurry to get up.  
• I went through my stocking and found lots of things, marshmallow peeps, toys, and even a light up crayon toothbrush and toothpaste.  I was so excited about the toothbrush!
• After breakfast, we opened presents.  Santa's presents were wrapped in a beautiful silver wrapping paper.  Once I opened the first present, I went from one to another even helping everyone else unwrap their presents too.  There were lots of oohhs and aaahhs and wows as I opened all of my many gifts that included a guitar, a drum pad, puzzles, books, a leap frog reader, a few different Doc McStuffins toys, a snoopy, pajamas, and other clothes.  I was very serious about unwrapping my presents and moving on to the next one.  I loved the whole day and had so much fun and was excited about all of my gifts.
• When I unwrapped a movie that Keegan had given me and as soon as I saw the cover (Madagascar), I said, "It's my very favorite movie!  I love it!"  When Mommy asked if I had seen it before, I said, "No."  Everyone started laughing at me.  They told me I was silly.
• I spent the rest of the day playing with one new toy at a time, trying each one out then putting it away to play with another one.
• After a yummy dinner and dessert, Mommy and Daddy and I played Candy Land.  It was fun.  I won the first game and was so excited but wanted Mommy and Daddy to win too, so I let them finish the game as well.
• Before bed, I spent some time wearing one of Littles's toys on my ankle and teasing her.  I also wore a blanket on my head and pretended to be a ghost.  I told everyone, "Don't be scared, it's just a ghost costume."

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day

• I woke close to 5:00am this morning.  It wasn't a good wake up as I got sick all over the bed.  I was crying and when Mommy came in to see me and asked what was wrong, I told her, "I need a napkin."  It took her a little bit to realize why I needed the napkin.  After she cleaned me up she put me in bed with her and Daddy.  I slept until after 8:00.  The good news is that I didn't get sick again all day.
• I played and ran around like I felt great all morning and ate a couple different breakfasts.
• Grandma and Mommy took me to one mall where we walked around and ate lunch then we went to another mall to walk around and look at a few more shops.  We got in line to see "Snowda" and I was very patient while waiting.  I was a big girl and sat on his lap and told him what I wanted for Christmas, a green bathtub of bubbles with a blue ladybug.  Mommy had no idea what I was talking about, but hopefully "Snowda" knows.
• On the way to the grocery store, I fell asleep in the car, so Mommy and Grandma dropped me off with Daddy so I could nap while they went to the store.  I had a long nap and woke up just in time to eat spaghetti for dinner.  It was delicious!
• The rest of the evening we spent time watching NORAD for Santa and tracking his path.  I was so excited and told Mommy when it was time for bed.  I went to bed like such a big girl tonight.  Mommy and Daddy were very proud.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day

• I once again slept until after 8:00 this morning.  Daddy was at work so Mommy and I cuddled in bed a few minutes before getting up. 
• Mommy took me to Dunkin Donuts for a donut for breakfast.
• We spent the rest of the morning doing laundry, a few dishes, and packing up presents and other things.  
• When Daddy got home we loaded the car and hit the road.
• I was very excited to be heading to see Grandma and Grandpa.  I told Mommy and Daddy that it was going to be a very long trip.  We started out playing a game that Daddy started after I was being silly in the car.  We played the "I am not..." game.  I mostly said silly things like, "I am not touching a penguin" and "I am not licking cheese."  I finally fell asleep after a little while in the car and slept about two hours.  About an hour away, I started asking how much longer...  When Daddy said 60 minutes, I asked him to show me how many fingers.  I didn't understand why he couldn't show me how many.
• We met Grandma and Grandpa and their friends at the Mexican restaurant for dinner.  It was great!  There was a guy there who was making balloon animals and doing magic tricks.  It was so much fun watching him.  I ended up with 4 different balloons (a flower, a bee, a snowgirl, and something Mommy and Daddy couldn't identify).
• When we got to Grandma and Grandpa's, I played with my shopping cart and found other things to play with in my room.  We watched the last half of Polar Express and Grandpa kept tickling me and being silly.  I couldn't quit giggling and neither could Grandma or Grandpa.  It was funny!

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day

• I slept until after 8:00 this morning.  I was excited to wake up and find out it was Sunday and that we would be going to church.  I love church! 
• We found Perry the Platy-Elf downstairs next to the Christmas tree.  He looked like he had been wrapping presents and gotten himself wrapped up too.  I wonder if Dr. Doofenshmirtz had caught him and trapped him in wrapping paper...
• I took a bath and got dressed in a beautiful red dress and my black dress shoes.  It was so warm again today that I didn't even need a jacket or tights.  It doesn't seem like December at all!
• I played in the nursery with several friends today.  It was fun!
• The Puffinburger family got me presents, but Mommy said I would have to wait for Christmas to open them.  I can't wait to see what's in there.
• After church, Daddy took us to dinner then back home for a nap. 
• After nap, I helped Mommy make some silly sweaters for us to wear to the church Christmas party.  I was a big helper and was super excited about my shirt.
• Once we were at the party, I got to eat, watching people play games, hand out prizes, make a reindeer out of food, and even got a present!  I got a tea party set and was so excited I was jumping up and down.  I was so polite in thanking the Story family for my gift and asked Mommy and Daddy if I could open it and play with it as soon as we got home.
• At home, we had a tea party in the living room floor.  I served lasagna (sesame street cards) on the plates and chicken (dice) on the plates too!  Mommy says I have such an amazing sense of creativity!
• Ms. Michelle stopped by the house to pick up something from Mommy, but she also brought me a present.  I was so excited!  While they were talking on the porch, I kept throwing leaves up in the air and running them and dropping them on the sidewalk.  Daddy was just happy I was using up all of the energy I had gained from all the sugar I had eaten at the party.
• After helping Mommy wrap a few presents, it was bedtime.
• I can't wait to see Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow!
