Allison's Birthday

Here are the pictures from Allison's 1st birthday. She had such a great day and loved all her presents. She knew exactly what to do with the presents and the cake :-) I think you will be able to tell from the pictures how happy she was. Thank you all for the sweet gifts and thinking of us. We missed our IN family and wish you could have been here with us to celebrate. We love you all!

Happy 1st Birthday Allison! We love you!

1 year old

Allison had her first birthday yesterday. It is so hard to believe how fast this past year went. Alli is such an amazing, funny, easy going, rough and tumble girl. She runs everywhere now and loves to smile, play with toys and eat anything. She brings so much joy into our family. I will post pics of her party later.

Tis the season

We are in full blown Christmas season here in the Nieter household. We have been very busy decorating, shopping and attending fun activities all while still preparing for Allison's first birthday which is one week from today. Whew! Here are a few photos from our festivities!

So much to look at!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. This is the second year when we have been blessed to have Thanksgiving lunch with my mom & dad, my sister and her family and her in-laws, Brent's parents and his sister and her family. We definitely have so much to be thankful for!
