Kenzie at church

I wasn't able to post this video in my other post but it's from Kenzie's and Abbie's "performance" at church on Sunday! Like I said in the post below...it might have been the cutest thing ever! :)

*The video will be blurry unless you change the number 240p (on the lower left hand corner of the video) to 480p. Not sure what those numbers are or what they mean but they seem to help! :)

Our Sunday

Yesterday at church the 2 & 3 year old class performed a few songs!! It might have been the cutest thing ever! We found out last week they were going to sing and I have been so excited! Yea maybe most of the kids didn't know what was going on but what is cuter than a group of 2 & 3 year olds "singing"?? :)

After church Justine and Tati came over for lunch! Kenzie was so excited to see Tatiana! It took her a good 30-45 minutes or so to settle down and to stop showing off! :) Kenzie was so excited to give Tati her Christmas present...and....Kenzie was very excited for her own presents too! :)

I wanted to get the girls together for a picture but Kenzie missed her nap and so after a couple of hours of playing.....

She passed out and took a little power nap on the floor!

She sure knows how to host a play date! :)

Where's Kenzie?

I took these pictures last week and then forgot about them.

Tonight when I was looking at the picture above I wondered why I took it. I didn't even realize Kenzie was in the bed! :) Now that I look closer I can see a little foot, hand and some hair!

Holiday Weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend filled with lots of Christmas cheer! Well....Kenzie & I did...Jeff might be on the opposite end of the spectrum dealing with the crazy shoppers all weekend! He did get to enjoy some of the festivities though!

Friday night started our village's hometown holiday weekend. Almost right outside our door a big group of carolers walk through the town to the village tree. We loved it last year so I was so excited to do it again-it's just so Christmasy (I know that's not a word!). Our village plays Christmas songs at night through the loud speakers and on this night it was live Christmas music-even better! We caroled through the town and watched as the tree lights were lit! My sister & I joked how it seemed to be right out of a Christmas movie! I'm not sure if anyone has watched "One Magic Christmas" (from the early 80's) but the tree lighting was just like the one in the movie!

After the tree lighting we ate some cookies & hot cocoa and Kenzie had a lot of fun playing with her cousins!

On Saturday morning we took Kenzie to breakfast with Santa! She loves to talk about Santa and to watch him afar but not to keen on getting near him! She will ask to see Santa many times a day but is still very afraid of big guy! She did go talk to him but refused to sit near him even with mommy sitting next to her. She wasn't a fan of Santa but she was a big fan of the candy cane he gave her....it's in the next 6 pictures! :)

After breakfast Daddy had to go to work but our fun day continued at the library for crafts, cookies & a horse drawn wagon ride! She loved everything! She made her first homemade tree ornament and was very excited to show it to Daddy later in the day!

I didn't bring my camera but I did take 2 pics with my phone on the wagon ride!

After the library Kenzie was in such a good mood...she was just running around and rolling in the snow! It was so cute but it was very chilly so mean mommy had to end her fun and take her in for lunch & a nap! She wasn't too happy with mommy! :)

I think our "Hometown Holiday Weekend" is my new favorite weekend! I'm already excited for next year! :)

Christmas Tree & Snow!

Our tree is up!

Kenzie was so excited and a little too helpful! :)

Every morning she asks to see the tree and will stare at it for a couple minutes!

It makes me so excited to see her reaction on Christmas morning!

Not too sure about the next 2...I think she was a little excited! :)

The other day we had our first snowfall of the season! Kenzie was so excited....me not so much! Well, actually December snow is a little exciting but come January, February, March and then even April sometimes snow is not all that exciting! Kenzie saw the snow and immediately asked to go outside to play! She was even singing a Barney snow song while playing....It was too cute! We didn't stay out too long....it was chilly!

Watching the snow...

Patiently waiting for mommy to get ready!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was a nice day filled with family and a lot of very yummy food! Kenzie had a great time playing with her cousins and wrestling with her 9 year old cousin Cody! I think we might have a little tomboy on our hands! She loves to play rough....you would think she had older brothers! Kenzie with a couple of her favorite people...Uncle Scott & Aunt Emily!

Big Baby Brayden! He is such a cutie...and so big...I kept on forgetting he is only 6 months old!

After all the Thanksgiving festivities my mom and I decided to head to Toys-R-Us for a little shopping! We have never shopped on Thanksgiving before and it's something that I will probably not do again! I personally hate that more and more stores are open on Thanksgiving but since Toys-R-Us opened at 10PM I thought Thanksgiving was practically over anyway so why not get a head start on the sales! I was not prepared for the line...we waited outside in freezing, cold & rainy weather for well over an hour (I'm sure that's not bad compared to what some people are willing to do for sales but I thought it was horrible!). After we finally got in we had to wait over another hour just to check out! Ahhh.....it might not have been worth the $25 I saved but at least Kenzie will wake up on Christmas morning to a doctor set, play-doh accessories and a choo choo train! :)

These pictures are not from Thanksgiving but they are "turkey related" so I thought I'd throw them in this post. A few days ago Kenzie & I made paper turkeys! She was so excited...it was so cute! She laugh and squeal from excitement like it was Christmas morning! :) The body of the turkey was made from tracing her foot and the rest of the turkey was from tracing her hands. I want to do this craft every year to see how big the turkey gets from year to year!

Happy Thanksgiving!
