Alli the Babysitter

Shortly after we moved in there was a knock at the door, and it was our neighbors, the Eskers.  They came to introduce themselves, along with their then 15 year old daughter, Alli.  Carrie, Alli's mom said she babysat and after I heard that, Alli became our permanent sitter.  She's been so great for our family, she's responsible, dependable, we trust her, and best of all she loves playing with our girls.

A few weeks before Christmas this past year, Alli texted me to ask if she could take the girls for a few hours one afternoon during Christmas break for a girls day.  Of course I said yes and they all had so much fun.  They went to the mall and had lunch, went to a pet store to pet the dogs, Alli bought the girls some things at Bath and Body Works, and they had frozen yogurt on the way home.  Lots of fun!  

Alli is graduating high school in May and I'm not sure yet where she'll go to college, but I hope it's somewhere close so we can still have her over from time to time.  We lucked out when we moved down the street from her and her family!
