Allen Family Adventures: It's About Time

Man I hate when I get behind on my blog. I forget all of the little things that make my days so much fun. But we have been unusually busy.

We said goodbye to our sweet Fritz. No...he didn't die but we had to give him to our friends because we are moving back to Utah. Yep...big, exciting news! Tess has cried about missing him everyday for the past 2 weeks, we all miss him but just couldn't justify locking the poor dog up in my mom's tiny yard. He will be so much happier here. At least we get to tell them they can see puppies a lot when we go to grandma Allen's. That seems to ease the tears!

Halloween was a blast. Little Tess made an awesome and super cute pirate.

Bodee was awesome at spreading his black nose on everything!

And Lexi was an awesome vampire. I love that my twisted girls didn't want to be princesses!

I was going to put our family portrait on the wall and then I thought...nah!!

We went to the ward trunk or treat and had so much fun with all of our amazing friends. Lexi went trick or treating at preschool and came home with loads of candy. We had candy for a whole month, and that was eating a lot per day and sharing it!

The girls wanted me to take pictures with their babies!

Tess turned 3 in November. I can't believe how adorable she is. She has turned the corner from terrible two's and i just want to squeeze her and her cuteness! Aunt Brandi, Grandma and Aaron came out that week and it totally made our year! It was so much fun to see them!

Tess loved her presents and you can see!

Her favorite color is blue and so must everything be! She is such a tiny little thing. She weighed 26 lbs at her dr. appt which is 8% and 36 inches which is 26%. Bodee will catch up to her real soon.

Tess is totally into babies lately so we decided to take her to the Cabbage Patch Hospital in Northern GA. It was so cute and so much fun. She got to pick out her own baby doll and chose Zoe who she still hangs out with all day!

Poor Brandi and Aaron didn't get a break from the kids. I sure loved the break though. They are so sweet to my kiddos.

Not sure what's with the pose!

We had to go to Amillacola Falls before we moved. It is so beauriful and we will miss it.

The kids reindeers and sleigh! Jesse is Santa apparently!

I love babies love for mirrors and themselves. SO cute!

Lexi had a Thanksgiving program at her preschool and her and her future husband apparently were the indians. She did so good at her part. We then had a Thanksgiving feast at 10 AM, kind of wierd but it was fun!

Tess was so sweet and cheered for Lexi the whole time.

Our Thanksgiving was celebrated a couple days early with our other Pilot friends. We had a great time and had awesome food. Poor Tess was sick and slept the whole time until I made her wake up for a picture! We haven't had Thanksgiving with family for YEARS, thus part of the decision to move to Utah. We will be trying out the whole commuting thing for awhile and if it works we will make it permanent. I can't believe it is almost Christmas. I love this time of year, but with getting the house ready to sell, finishing up Jesse's school (1 more semester left), and being prego....it's been a little different this year!
