Baby's First Christmas

Happy New Year! I cannot believe it is already 2007. Matt has his TEN year high school reunion this year - we are getting so old! :) Just kidding.

Alison had an amazing First Christmas! She will have no memory of how amazing it was, but that's okay. After having Christmas Eve dinner at our house in Allen, we spent Christmas Eve in Argyle with Alison's Uncle Nathan and Aunt Christina. Alison got these footie PJ's from Nathan and Christina and she absolutely ADORES them. I think she also looks adorable in them:

Here are some pictures of her opening her first Christmas presents on Christmas Eve:

After all that excitement, Matt and I stayed up with Nathan to play the best game ever invented on PS2 - Guitar Hero!

On Christmas morning (after not enough sleep), we got in the car and drove to College Station/Bryan to be with Matt's family. This is where the spoiling begins...

Alison got this really neat Lullaby Light Show from Matt's grandparents (Nana and Papaw Marburger) that she now falls asleep to every night:

I think Alison was more interesed in all of the pretty ribbons and bows on her presents! She liked to eat them:

Matt's Mom and Dad got Alison this awesome gift called the Leap Start Learning Table! Since she isn't ready to stand up and play, we removed two of its legs and she can sit and enjoy all the cool buttons and musical features!

After a quick trip (3 hours, one way) to meet Grandma Boening in Karnes City, we made it to Katy to be with Natalie's family. The spoiling continues...

Here is a picture of Alison playing in her new exersaucer from her Mimi and Pops:

And here she is opening even MORE presents:

Alison had fun with her Aunt Christina (and trying to eat the head of her new musical turtle):

Alison finally got to meet one of her parents favorite people on Earth, Giselle Ty, and her boyfriend Philip. Even though Alison decided to be fussy the whole time, Giselle and Philip still thought she was cute!

On New Years Eve, we went over to my friend Julie Mullinax's house for a baby New Year's Celebration! We counted down from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. It was so cute! As you can see in the picture below, Alison had all the excitement she could stand (she is the one crying in the purple Bumbo chair):
