Christmas Part 1

Hope you all had a great Christmas. We did! It was a whirlwind - here's just the beginning...

We opened gifts at home a few days before Christmas. Kailey got a Veggie Tales CD and a kitchen. She was thrilled with both!

Tuesday night we headed to the Paulsens. Kailey had to help everyone open their gifts! We all had a great time being together with everyone - it went very fast. Kailey loved her "presen!"

Early Gifts

Kailey has been getting mail! She's practicing up for Christmas.

First she got two packages from Josh and Deneen

It's a shirt!

She wanted it on immediately!

Then she moved on to the second package - a really cute three piece outfit

Mommy and Daddy got a very nice nativity set. But where are the animals?

Here they are! In Kailey's new pockets...

Then, today Kailey opened a card from Grandma and Grandpa P.

STICKERS!!

I read the card to Kailey. Grandma wrote about how proud they are of Kailey for using the big potty. When I was done reading, Kailey read it too. I heard her say "Grandma", "Papa", "potty", and "poop"! It was really sweet.

THANK YOU JOSH AND DENEEN AND GRANDMA AND GRANDPA!!!

Family Fun

I'm behind....over a week ago we spent time with my parents and my brother's family. We had so much fun!

Kailey and Grandma played the piano together

Grandma saved a Charlie Brown tree for the kids to help decorate. They had lots of fun with this! My niece's favorite part was putting the hooks on the ornaments :)

Then it was time for the nativity - if it involves babies, the girls are all for it

Kailey found a pair of reading glasses while we were busy with other things - we couldn't help but laugh!

The girls had lots of fun together. This is a preview of pictures to come when they can truly have sleepovers.

Of course my nephew got some attention too :)

Christmas Is Coming

Last weekend we spent some time decorating the house for Christmas. Kailey was a lot of fun during this process and wanted to help with lots of it.

She helped Daddy with the tree skirt...

Helped Mommy with the beads (gotta love that smile!)...

Put the tree topper on...

And helped with ornaments!

She constantly comments on the tree and lights!
