She's been here in full force..taking advantage of all that South America has to offer. :)
Alison was here on a SURPRISE week-long visit over Thanksgiving. We packed a lot into that one week - good times, good times, good times.
Some highlights of the week would include going back to visit a favorite spot in Sucre!
We also definitely got the holidays kicked off right - bring on Christmas!
We did a lot of baking, (with our good friend, CHRISTMAS MUSIC,)
We also decorated the house for Christmas!
In the process of finding the Christmas decorations, we also found a real treasure in the storage closet...a mountain full of donated maxi pads. WOOO!! (Still have not figured out who donated them to the baby home?)
Ha
So obviously, we needed to dive on into those.
We also stuffed stockings that our parents and Center Hill friends all donated for the kiddos this year. There was SO MUCH fun stuff to put inside each baby's stocking! Books, stickers, hair bows, nerf balls, candy...I want to go ahead and give them to everybody! Jumping the gun a little?
Alison got lots of hangout time with our favorite triplets, and their hilarious mama, too! 
Triplet #2 is Alison's namesake! And, what do you know, as a baby, Alison had a lazy eye, too. Here she is reliving the glory days with Baby Alison, (who is NOT acting.) hahah
Not to worry - we're patching Baby Alison. So both Alisons got to be pirates for the week together, too.
The Alisons
Thanks to everyone who helped pull off the best surprise ever! It was a great week - we even converted Alison to a UVA fan. Or maybe her luggage didn't come until the night before she left again! 
Miss you already!
...and lots of other people do, too. :)
The donation came from Kimber, the same people who donate the diapers. Apparently they were "expired" and they begged us to take them off their hands. I've donated a couple packages to a street kid rehab center... If you have any other grand ideas to pass along the fun, go for it!! :)
