Into December...

Well, our month of December didn't start off so well.  Mallory came down RSV and had us on our toes.  I was scared to death that we were going to have to take her to the emergency room, but luckily, she was well taken care of and God heard our prayers.  After about a week of breathing treatments and lots and lots of TLC, she recovered and was back to herself again!   
Meanwhile, Barrett continued to be the BEST big brother ever by reading to Mallory and helping Matt and I in every way that he could.  I love that boy! 
Aunt Brandi and cousins Karlee and Kelsey came down to do a little last minute Christmas shopping.  Their visits are always wonderful!  I love my sister sooooo much!!!  Matt drove us around the neighborhood that night to look at Christmas lights.  It was super COLD...as as you can see, we bundled up (Mallory had to stay inside the truck with her daddy / "the driver").
Once Mallory felt better, we decided to pay Santa Claus a visit.  This year, we were able to see him at the Allen Village.  Barrett couldn't seem to remember exactly what he wanted, so he settled with "toys" as his official request!  That's easy enough for Santa!!!!!  I loved Mallory's little Christmas outfit!!!!  Too cute!!!!
