Happy Family: Holiday Fun 2011

Alissa loves the holidays because she gets to work on projects at school, help mommy around the house, and spend time with people she loves. The best part about the holidays is spending lots of time with family. Alissa enjoyed spending time with her immediate family as well as her extended family to include grandparents and cousins. Here are some of my favorite pictures from November through January 1, 2012...

Alissa Made this cute turkey hat at pre-school. She loves school work and especially loves showing her fun projects to mommy and daddy at the end of the day.

Decorating the House for Christmas

Alissa loved putting up the Christmas decorations and especially putting ornaments on the tree. Alissa's favorite thing about Christmas decorations was driving around the neighborhood to see the lights and going to Temple Square with the Diamond family to see even more lights.

Finally, Alissa enjoyed all the gifts and presents that she was so lucky to receive. Alissa has many people that love her very much and it was obvious at Christmas time.

New Years Eve and New Years Day - We spent New Years Eve with the Smith Family and Alissa stayed up until midnight with everyone. She was so wired that when we got home, it took 45 minutes to get her to bed. The next day, we celebrated Christmas with Meggan, Jeremy, and Great Grandma K. Alissa loved playing with the New Years horn and spending time with family.
