Merry Christmas, 2010!

What a very fun Christmas...Kaylee's first, Kendall's second, and Brandon's 9th. Kendall still didn't really "get it" as far as the presents went. We had to help her open all her presents. She was very happy with everything she got, though. One of her favorite toys was this new car...

On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma's house and had a wonderful dinner (thank you, Mom!) and opened presents.



There was this amazing big dog at grandma's house big enough to ride on. Kendall instantly adopted him.
Brandon didn't get everything he wanted...good thing he still has to go to his dad's house and open presents ;0). Ah, to be 9 and have not learned how to be tactful. (Hmmm, what's my excuse?lol)
"Mindflex"
Santa brought Chris a leopard snuggie. He has his I-look-good-and-I-know-it look on his face. A look I am way too familiar with!
And this one inherited that look from her daddy. See the pictures below for proof!
Kaylee's first Christmas present!
She likes it!
If this face doesn't make you feel merry, then you really are a scrooge!
Merry Christmas to all our wonderful friends and family! Love, Chris, Aly, Brandon, Kendall, adn Kaylee.

One Month!

I plan to take pictures of Kaylee each month in her bouncy chair in order to see how she grows in relation to something static. Kaylee is doing great- eating, growing, and just yesterday we started a routine that I *intend* to follow with her. *fingers crossed*
Last night she slept from 1030pm to 330am (YES!!! The most sleep I have had since she was born. ), then from 430am to 8am (YES, again!!!). I know this isn't likely to continue, but it was a much needed rest for me. Maybe an early Christmas present from Kaylee to me? ;0)

Photo Shoot with AVW Photography

My good friend and amazing photographer, Amy Wilson, of AVW photography, came by last week to take some pictures of Kaylee and the family. I am simply amazed by her talent!Our new little angel. This is the most amazing picture of Kaylee- Amy just captured the pure beauty and innocence of her shining through her eyes! *sappy Mommy alert!*

Kendall is very shy...she wasn't too sure about posing for pictures with a "stranger."

It's not about you, Chris.

Someone is channeling his inner supermodel.

BFF visit!

We just love Hilary...she's such a natural with kids.My usually shy daughter just adores her. That says a lot!
OK Hil, your turn to get pregnant and have a baby-I'm done!!! ;)

Sibs!

Checking each other out..."Hmmmm, if Brandon thinks she's ok, she must be."
"Moooooommmm!!"

Happy Birthday, Mom/Gammie/Frama!

To one of the most generous, sincere, caring, funny, thoughtful, shamazing people I know...we are truly so lucky to have her in our lives. I wouldn't be the person I am today without her support, guidance, and encouragement. Love you, Mom!
