Alison got to open her presents before breakfast Monday morning......she was still a little shy with the first present like, "I really get to do this?" But, after a few she was really looking to tear some paper....
Here, Alison opens her very own Dora backpack....
"Now, if I could just get this little corner started"
Checking out her Dora doll with the animated Pegasus (The horse actually walks...it's a little possessed though, and sometimes still talks or moves after you turn it off. Luckily, there's a reset button)....
I'm not sure but I think she likes it........
Modeling her new backpack.....it's the "in" thing for the season
Bundled up and ready to hit the Children's Discovery Museum.
Ready to go down a super-fast slide.....
Walking a toy bridge......
The girl loves her some "choo choo"....she spent a lot of time trying to build a bridge for her train
Trying super hard to get up the rock wall without help!
The cutest!!
Really leaning into the smiles now....
The Dynamic Duo.....

Alison needed a little help......
"What's in this one?"
When it was all said and done...... 
.......it was all said and done.....
Alison's ready to open some birthday presents.....
Grace looks on as Alison flips thru her new book.....
Ali gets a new ornament for the tree......
"Check out my new cup!"
"I'm ready for my close-up!"
She's really starting to love the camera!
"Grami and Pop Pop got me a Dora balloon!"
Making beautiful (?) music together.....
Alison and her Uncle Brian....
I think she ate too much in this one.......
Blowing out the candles.....
"Could someone get me a fork please?"
Grami cleans the hands........
Wielding the fork with no problem......
Got frosting?
Grace helps me with my birthday cupcakes!
Playing Santa for Grami......
