Merry Christmas!!

This is a video of Christmas Morning at the Alarid house. Taylor was very excited to see what Santa brought her and a little worried that he ate all the cookies! The video is a little long, but so cute! (Also, it's dark at the beginning but gets lighter quickly.) Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Taylor!!

Our sweet little Taylor just turned 2! She was so excited during the week leading up to her birthday. She talked all about her birthday party and singing to her and who would come to see her. I think she truly had a wonderful day! Thank you to everyone who shared in this happy day with us!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a lot of our family this year. Eric's brother's and their families were all in town and we had all of the aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents at Mimi's house for turkey day. Here are some pictures that Pam took of all of us that night. She did a great job, especially considering the chaos going on around her. (The kitchen sink started leaking in the middle of picture taking and all the men were trying to be plumbers!!)

The Tee Pee

Thank you Michael & Ann Thompson!! Taylor loves the tee pee you sent! She asks us to put up her "tent" and likes to look out the window at us. I'm sure she and her friends will enjoy many hours of pretend play with it!

For Aunt Becky.....

who's been begging for more pictures....here's a little of October with Taylor.

Crashed out! Sometimes eating is just too much of a workout!

This was the first time Taylor had pigtails!! Isn't she cute??

Tay decided to pose for me. She is just so proud of her rainboots. She has even learned how to put them on all by herself. And if she's wearing boots then she MUST wear a hat as well!

Playground Pics

We took Taylor to the playground during our off time with the hurricane and met up with the Bartkowiaks. Taylor and Luke have so much fun playing together!!

Taylor's First A&M Game

We took Taylor to her first A&M game last weekend against Miami. (We lost :( ) But she had a fun time and it was nice to do something with just the three of us.
