Family Christmas...

Since we'll be traveling over Christmas, this past Monday we had our family Christmas! First we took Kinsley out to pick out her new Christmas ornament for this year! She loved the Hallmark store and it was a little hard to keep her on task (they had these huge stuffed "puppies" that she kept carrying around the store!)! Kinsley really loved looking at all the ornaments and she picked out an ornament called "Dancing with Daddy", it's a big bear dancing with a little bear that is wearing a tutu! It's really cute! We then took Kinsley out to dinner to Panera Bread. She didn't eat much, but loved watching all the people! On the way home we drove around and looked at the Christmas lights. Kinsley loved the lights! When we got home we read the "Christmas Story" in the Bible and talked about it in front of the fire, then we had Kinsley open her gifts from us! She loved opening the presents and would get so excited over each one! We all played with her new toys for the rest of the evening!

"Winter" Leaves...

The leaves finally finished falling off of the trees in our yard, so this last Sunday Kinsley "helped" Daddy rake all the leaves in the yard! She loved raking and crawling in the piles, but most of all she loved the rides in the wheelbarrow! It was hard work, but at least Kinsley enjoyed it!

Thanksgiving in Arkansas

This thanksgiving we went to Arkansas to visit Uncles, Aunts and cousins! Kinsley had a great time playing with her cousins and bossing them around! She also decided that she really likes her Aunts and that they are really fun to play with. Kinsley also ate a lot, so hopefully on her next weigh in she'll have gained some weight!! Cousin Megan was a lot of fun too, because she gave Kinsley her fill of Diet Coke (picture of Kinsley drinking a can of Diet Coke) and Kinsley was drinking so fast that she hardly took a breath! Golf cart rides were a big hit and Kinsley even loved to just sit and play on it without going anywhere!

The Friday after Thanksgiving we went to visit Santa (a.k.a. Uncle Jim)! Again, Kinsley was scared, but we got a family picture with him! We tried to tell Kinsley it was Uncle Jim, but there was no reasoning with her!

We all had such a great Thanksgiving and we are so thankful for all our family that is so willing to let us come and invade their homes! We are truly blessed by God for our family, friends, health and so much more!
