Our Cute Girls

I got the cutest pictures done of the girls. So, here they are, well at least some of them. There are too many to post.

Karlie's 1st Haircut

Karlies First Haircut

Well, Karlie's hair was finally driving me nuts, so I broke down and got it cut. Our next door neighboor cuts hair and did it for us. Karlie was so good and did everything that she asked her too.

Bowling and Coldstone

'Real Bowling' and Cold Stone
Since Crystal learned how to bowl on the Wii she has been begging to go 'Real Bowling.' So, we finally went. She was so excited to go. We went to Miracle Bowl in Orem. She is Miss Independent and tried to do it herself, but the ball was going so slow that it got stuck. So, Tiffany or I had to help her. Karlie had to join in. Crystal and Karlie would stick the ball between their legs while sitting on the floor and roll it. They both had so much fun. But, next time we will only do one game instead of two. Karlie started to get really bored and cranky after the first one.

Our Scores

Game #1

Game #2

Cold Stone
After 'Real Bowling' we went to get ice cream at Cold Stone. We all loved it.

Super Bowl

Dance, Dance, Dance!!!

Crystal and Karlie had so much fun tonight dancing to the Super Bowl Halftime show. They were so excited to hear the music. It was so cute.

Winter Wonderland

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

Crystal has wanted to go out and build a snow man for a couple of days. So today we finally did. The only problem was that the snow was too powdery. So, we were unable to make a snowman. But, we had fun trying. We jumped around and we made snow angels. They both had a lot of fun.

Karlie was so excited to be out in the snow.

Sunday Dinner

What a MESS!!!!

For Sunday dinner we had Lasagna. Luckily, I was smart enough to take Karlie's clothes off before she started eating. Because, Oh what a mess she had at the end!! She ended up straight in the bathtub. Which she loved.

The New Allen Family Adventure...
Bowling on the Nintendo Wii

We were at the Keesler's on Sunday, January 18th and Crystal really wanted to bowl on the Wii...so we pulled it out and everyone participated. Tiffany helped Crystal while Laura helped Karlie. Crystal had a final score of 95...for her first time bowling...EVER...now we have to take her for real!

The best part of the above picture is Karlie!

This picture is just adorable all the way around. What a bunch of smiles!

Crystal's Hates and Loves

HATE/FEARCrystal absolutely HATES snakes. In fact, she doesn't just hate them...she is terrified of them...real or fake! Karlie thoroughly LOVES to chase her around with the fake snake at the Keesler's. Crystal will stop whatever she is doing (except the mic...her love) and RUN for her life while SCREAMING bloody murder. It is the funniest, most entertaining sight ever. Rachelle swears we are going to give a 3 year old a massive heart attack. You might ask why we don't make Karlie stop...well...quite frankly...Crystal probably deserves the torture after how mean she can be to Karlie.

LOVE/WANT

On the opposite hand, Crystal absolutely LOVES to sing and play the drums for Wesley's Guitar Hero for the XBox 360. We might even have ourselves a star one day at the rate she is going. She can sing and memorize EVERY song she hears...appropriate for a 3 year old or not!

Christmas Eve & Day

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we went to see the Hickman's (Laura's sisters family). Crystal and Karlie love spending time with Hillary, Kaitlin, and Stephanie. Crystal decorated cookies for Santa. We played a lot of games and just had fun.

Crystal's top present she has been asking for is a "Butterscotch Pony". She got it Christmas eve from "Santa Dave". She was so excited to see it. It acts so life like.

Then they opened up their presents that consisted of Pajamas and Christmas books. Their cousins got pajamas too.

Christmas Day

On Christmas Day the girls woke up at 815. They were so excited to see everything, especially Crystal. Crystal got a new car seat, an ipod, a Sleeping Beauty, and a whole bunch of random toys and books. Karlie got a Tricycle, Doll, a boat, and some other small things. Charlies family came over and we had a lot of fun.

5th Anniversary

Body Worlds 3

For our 5th anniversary we dropped our kids off at Shannon's (Laura's sister) and then on Saturday we went up to Salt Lake City with Tiffany, Kevin, and Tim. First we went to Body Worlds 3 at The Leonardo. I have been begging Charles forever to go. It was really cool to learn some of the different facts about the body and to see different cross-sections of the bodies. It was very fascinating to see how quickly a fetus develops. By the 8th week you could see all of the limbs and each individual finger/toe.

Lights at Temple Square

After Body Worlds we went to Texas Roadhouse to eat. Charlie and I had never been there. The food was so good and we had a lot of fun. Then we went to Temple Square to see the lights. It was so beautiful and very cold.

Hanging out at our House

Tiffany and I wrapped all of the girls' Christmas presents while they were still gone. The guys watched the BYU Vs. Arizona football game. BYU just couldn't pull it together and lost 24-34.
