our newest news

Steve and I are a brand spankin' new Uncle and Aunt :) My brother in law, well technically his wife... also named Jenn... had a baby girl the other night. I don't remember ALL the details. I know that they named her Samantha & she was 5 lbs 6 oz... I am hoping that we get to see her VERY soon!!!

Yesterday my dad joined me on, Mission: take the kiddo's to see SANTA! what a job ~ Ally was all gung-ho until we were face to face and then the brakes came on like a screaming HALT! I plunked her on his knee and the look of TERROR came over her face. Dawson was right there nearly breaking his other knee. She bawled 2 pictures she looked pitiful. So we hung around chit-chatting, hoping that perhaps we'd have luck... NOPE! I put her on the rocking horse -this girl LOVES horses of ALL kinds- there was NO WAY she was going to smile... and the tears flowed again. I got them to go ahead and print that one, even tho it looks somewhat rediculous, there is NO WAY she'll go back again, and it will definitely be a funny thing to look back on! :)

It has taken me hours to get this far and multiple *SAVE NOW* presses... so before this ends up in cyberspace, I'd better get it posted!
