Tanner visits in Longview

Lindsay & Tanner visited Mama & Papa in Longview and met some of Mama's friends. I think they all loved Tanner and had fun with him. Mama & Papa got some good loving in too.

The birthday celebration continued!

The Govers invited us out to their ranch in Kemp to celebrate my birthday. Taylor & Amanda were skiing in Colorado and couldn't make it, but Lindsay, Chris & Tanner did. We had a wonderful time visiting, playing and relaxing. It was a wet and rainy time, but the 4-wheelers and tractor still offered much entertainment. Ron, Kevin, Chris and Lindsay got to shoot guns. Lindsay shot twice hitting her target once, so she stopped with a good record! The guys fed the cows and we saw a set of twin calves. Tanner was great on his first trip, but hopes to enjoy the same fun as everyone else one day. Enjoy the pictures!

Celebrating Lori's birthday!

Well, another birthday is fast approaching and Tanner was a bit surprised by how old I am. The kids came over and celebrated with me on Monday. They planned a great evening, but I'm not sure what was my favorite part - 4 different kinds of cake from La Duni, playing Backseat Drawer or just the theme "games & goodies". They know just what I want for my birthday, fun with them.

Check Out Newest Pics of Tanner

My sweet niece, Mallory, came up to meet Tanner and took some adorable pictures. Check them out at her blog spot, Mallory Claire Photography (click on her link over on my blog list). Mallory is a Soph. at Texas Tech and while she loves taking pictures, she is actually working towards a degree in advertising. Thanks so much Mal, we so love the pictures.

The Allreds meet Tanner

Tanner's cousins, Mallory & Hanna, and his great Aunt Jo came to Dallas to meet him. I think they love him!!

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas and yes it was a white Christmas in Dallas! We had a great day, there were lots of surprises & Tanner got a rocking horse. This is so fun!

Christmas Eve

We joined Taylor and Amanda for lunch at their house and then went to Christmas Eve service with them at The Village Church. It began snowing midday and continue until late that evening. Kevin's parents joined us later in the afternoon and then Christmas PJs were opened. This is always a special time for our family and we were especially thrilled to have Tanner with us this year.
