Our Christmas

Don't you like my Christmas Eve party dress and fancy shoes?

Oh, I hope it's a pony!

Okay, I'm good with books.  (I make my mom proud.)

Grandma and Grandpa offered to help me out with some more presents, but I don't need their help.

Opening presents is exhausting!  I think I'll just take a little rest . . .

right . . . here . . . .

You know, I could really get used to this whole Christmas thing.

My great grandma Gma and cousin Jennifer are two classy ladies.  Hmm... I should probably cut back on my slobbering to join their ranks.

Baby cousin Landon pretty much slept through the chaos.

Cousin Chase loved his man chair, complete with sippy-cup holder.

Me, I got my own throne!

Overall, I made out like a queen!

Ho Ho Ho!

I don't know what Cabo is thinking, but I can't wait for Santa to come!

I could be one of his elves!

I'm cute enough, aren't I?

Of course I am!

We wish all of our family and friends a very

Merry Christmas!

Since the Socks Won't Stay On Anymore...

Mom and Dad got tired to putting my socks back on after I proceded to pull them off each time, so we tested out my bunny slippers.

Hmm... the lights are pretty cool.

I dig 'em!

But you know what?  I have a plan....

Yep!  I knew it!  They can be pulled off just like the socks!!! (Insert wicked laugh here.)

No worries, I have other things to focus on now.  Daddy says with hair like this I can be a high-fashion model!  Paris, here I come!!

Alli's Introduction to Sweet Potatoes

Our little unsuspecting soul thinks she's getting oatmeal....

Wait a minute, what was that?

Maybe that wasn't so bad.

Again!

Eww....

I mean, yum?!

Umm...

Lip-lickin' good...

Alright!

Overall, a success!

Landon is here!

Alli has a brand new cousin!  Landon James Eacker was born on Monday, December 14th at 3:28pm via emergency c-section.  He's 20.5 inches long and weighs 6 pounds 12 ounces.  Tiffany and Landon are both doing great!  Congratulations, Tiffany and Mark!  He's perfect!

Chase picked out matching tigers for his new brother and himself.

The Eacker Boys.  Tiff, you're seriously outnumbered now!

Alli's Best Friend?

I love Cabo!  Cabo?  Hello?

Umm . . .  something's . . .  not . . .  right . . .  here . . . .

Now that's more like it.

We recently spent a week in Spokane.  5-degree weather, I'm ready for you!

Another Shout-Out

This one's for Uncle Mark.  Good luck on your biiiiiiiiiiiig test on Monday!

Alli Looks Great in Purple

I really do look good in purple, don't I??

(I put this on just to humor Daddy.)

Come on, Dad, what's taking you so long?

Almost there...

Got it!

Maybe sticking out the landing strip will help the goods arrive sooner.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Alli's First Ponytail

Since my Auntie Tiffany said that she expected me to have a ponytail on Thanksgiving, my mom figured she'd better practice. 

This is her first attempt.

Do you think it accentuates my cheekbones?

Mom, this is what I think of your efforts.

Look at me!  I'm sitting up all by myself!

Something tells me that my face shouldn't be this close to the floor when upright.

The duel.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!
