We started the year off great with the birth of Allison Davis on December 31st! Her sisters absolutely love her (although Audrey was a little hesitant at first of more competition). Allison looks just like her sisters as babies except she has hair that sticks straight up and cannot be combed down so it has become her trademark. She is a very calm baby and hardly ever cries which has been a great trait to have in a third child. Abby celebrated her 5th birthday this year with a ballerina Barbie party in which she invited all girls and one boy...he felt a little awkward being with 12 girls dressed as ballerinas! Abby was wired the whole day (probably a combination of the excitement and cookie cake/donuts/candy sugar). Here are some pictures of these two big events this year!

Abby required that her 5th birthday cake have both a ballerina and a bride on it!

Audrey's head fit perfectly where we cut out coupons from a Carl's Jr ad (her expression tells us that she was not too happy posing for this picture!)

Allison and her new cousin, Isabella, take time from their busy schedule to get a picture with their dads (Me and my brother Jared, in case you didn't know!)

Yes, her hair naturally sticks up, and no, we do not style it that way....it just defies all laws of gravity!

Abby attempts to eat the world's largest meatball as her cousin James cheers her on at Macaroni Grill (that was the kids meal, I would love to see what the adult spaghetti meatballs look like!)

Allison watched Clint Eastwood's Magnum Force with me one night and has picked up the Clint Eastwood expression pretty well since then...quite intimidating!

Can you guess which one is our real baby? Audrey lined up all her dolls with Allison for a nap.
