bye-bye helmet

allison is finally done with her helmet and did great with it. she wore it for 3 months and is now within normal range for all her measurements. she now has a "textbook" head shape. i will miss the way it framed her face and made her cheeks look chubby...but i won't miss it being in the way and having to clean it out every night.

christmas

i figure i better catch up before i get even more behind. so here is the short version of christmas...just the pictures!

polar express

the week before christmas we went to flagstaff to ride the polar express. fun was had by all (even though our train was late). a big thank you goes to grandma and papa for giving us their tickets and for watching allison while we went on the train! we were also able to go play in the snow the next day and visit the temple lights on the way home!

Merry Christmas!

From,

The Cook Family

happy thanksgiving

getting ready for church

i always wish that i would remember to take a picture of the kids BEFORE church because they are nice and clean and all dressed up. this sunday i did. i love this picture because they just look so cute.

(allison has been in her "helmet" for three weeks now. she is tolerating it. for those who don't know, simply put, her head isn't growing right so this should help reshape it. she will need to wear it for about 3-6 months.)

halloween

i know that it has been over a month since halloween but i thought it was still worth posting some pictures of our festivities. so here you go.
