We are having a . . . BOY!

Travis and I went to the doctor today to find out what we are welcoming into this world in May and just see how things are going. Well, we are having another Allen BOY! The baby is fine and moving around like crazy! We are in trouble!!!!! Here are some pictures. They are kind of hard to see if I can get better ones, I'll re post and put those on instead. But try to see the non bashful little guy showing off.

This is what goes on at home

Braden has made an new game. I'm not sure what the rules are, but he plays it well and on his own. He takes his ABC's and 123 flash cards and lays them out like the game of memory and some how he matches them up. He loves it and it keeps him busy, plus he learns along the way. Here is a picture of him playing it yesterday.

Then this morning while I was checking my email Braden wanted to write Nay-Nay and Pop's names. Here is what he wrote. I think it's pretty good for a 3 yr old!

Santa made a stop at Braden's school

Today was Braden's last day at his Mother's Day Out program until the new year. The older kids put on a little program and at the end of everything before it was time to go home, Santa showed up! Braden wasn't too excited to see Santa, but he went up on his lap willingly. I took a couple of pictures and Braden told Santa what he would like for Christmas this year. Here is his list . . . 1) a wii game 2) a computer. Simple, yet not the cheapest of toys. Oh well, he is a techy kid. (Don't you just love Braden's smile?!)

Y-12 Christmas Party

Saturday, Dec. 13, Pop took us all to his company Christmas Party for Y-12 employees. They had games, face painting, tattoos, food, balloon animals, and of course Santa. Here are the three boys showing off their balloon animals and their picture with Santa.

Moms & Tots Christmas Party

Today we had our annual Moms & Tots Christmas party at church. There were tons of crafts, a sing a long, a story, and plenty of stuff for them to play with. Nay-Nay and Ethan came with us and the boys had a blast! They made reindeer food, painted a candy cane, made a gingerbread man, and decorated a star. Here are some pictures of them doing crafts and having fun.

Braden's Shiner

While we were getting ready to leave for the Christmas Parade, Braden accidentally ran into the edge of the bathroom door. He had a nice big bump on his forehead and we were kind of worried for a while. He let us put a cold pack on it and eventually he was back to normal. This morning Travis took a picture of it and this is what it looks like. Poor kid.

Christmas Parade Downtown Knoxville

Last night was the Christmas Parade in Downtown Knoxville. Braden loved watching the bands, and all of the different floats. Here are some pictures of his on Travis' shoulder while he watched everything go by.
