Valentine's Party at Preschool

Aleah and Bruce signed their valentine's cards the morning they needed them. We had two days of snow, no school, plus a two hour delay the day of the party. Thank goodness for the delay or we wouldn't have gotten them done.



Bennett is Aleah's best friend. (Although Bruce loves to play with "Nennett", too.)

Listening intently to their special story.


Eating their snack.

Making their bags to put their valentine goodies in!

Our one lonely ice cycle...who knows how to spell that?

Working on the driveway. We actually do have a snow blower, but we failed to get it serviced this year and so we used the manual snow blower. :)

The kiddos had a blast. Even when it was 3 pm and the snow and wind was just whipping around us. The only way to get Aleah to come in is to bribe her with hot chocolate.

Bruce's 2nd Birthday

Aleah helped me make the cake for Bruce's birthday party. She did a great job!


Presents Time!




Bruce loves Curious George!


Time for candles and cake. Bruce is 2!

January 2007

Playin' with the new camera.


After a rough week for Mommy, since Daddy was out of town, it became abundantly clear that it was time for Bruce to graduate from the crib. So, Aleah, Scott, and Bruce worked on taking it down.


We put his crib mattress on the floor until we had time to get his big boy bed put up.


Grandpa's 86th Birthday Party


We finally got Bruce's big boy bed put up. He was so proud of it. We didn't have anymore bedtime problems after that.


We finally got some decent snow. Who woulda thought that we had to wait til Jan. 20. The kiddos had fun playing and "sometimes" helped me shovel the driveway.

New Year's Eve 2006

New Year's Eve, after the Komets hockey game, is spent having the Allen family Christmas.

The Allen Kids


Every year Scott and Caleb exchange gifts in Victoria's Secret boxes. Well, somehow my gift came in a VS box as well.


Opening a special gift.




Opening gifts from their stockings.


This was the year for a special gift from Grandma & Grandpa Allen and Uncle Caleb. They got their own hockey sticks and goals to play with. The goals were hand made by the three. The kiddos were very excited and knew just what to do.
