Christmas Celebration

We celebrated Christmas with Craig's family this weekend. We spent time with family, went to the Christmas Eve service, and ate lots and lots of good food. We had a lot of fun, as you can see!

Grandma and Grandpa P

She wasn't too sure what to do at first, but she figured it out pretty quickly!

(Many but not all of these are her gifts, just so you know!)

"Driving" with cousin Stacy

Soft new jammies :)

Before we left home we got a couple of pictures in front of the tree

Hands and Knees and Cups and Drawers and...

Oh my, Kailey is everywhere all of a sudden! Her crawl has progressed from the "army crawl" using her arms and dragging herself around on her tummy, to a true crawl on her hands and knees. We were so excited, and we still are but it has truly changed our world! Let the real baby-proofing begin. I'm struggling with what to let her mess with, what to distract her from, and what to say a firm "no" to. I guess we'll figure it out! She has also mastered the sippy cup - yeah!

December Activities

Between the snow storms we've managed to get ready for Christmas. Our first celebration was last weekend, and it was a combination Christmas/Anniversary party. Craig's parents celebrated 35 years of marriage so we all surprised them with a little party in conjunction with a family Christmas party. We had a great time.

The guests of honor

Kailey experiencing her first gift exchange - she liked it!

We have a couple of signs of Christmas around our house. Kailey likes the Christmas tree but has only ventured "too close" a couple of times.

This is a singing toy, and she loves it :)

This was sweet - Kailey rarely sits as still and content as this particular time. Daddy's Girl!
