Kaylee AKA Momma's Helper

Kaylee is becoming such the little girl and not the toddler. She is so amazingly smart and always blows us away with something new she says or she knows. And she is so dramatic with everything she does whether it's dancing, talking to someone, whatever. When she talks to someone she puts her hands on her hips and is very animated. She loves to tell Ana & I that she loves us and when we say it back she claims she loves us more. But the last week or two she has started to say "ya" instead of "you". She tells me "mommy, i want to hold ya", or "I want to help ya". Helping is another huge thing these days. She loves to help cook! I let her crack the eggs in the morning which is more of a squeezing with both hands until the egg explodes. Needless to say I spend sometime getting egg shell out of the pan but she feels like she is making breakfast so that's great!

Good Eats

Since we had our first sunny day after weeks of rain & chilly weather, I decided to walk with Kaylee to get us all some ice cream. We decided to give Ana her very own ice cream cone and as you can see she absolutely loved it!!

Ana at the Wharf

This is the first time Ana had gotten to walk outside anywhere. Brian had taken the girl's to the wharf to get some fresh air after being trapped inside for a couple weeks due to cold weather.

Just A Look In..

It really felt like the Christmas's I had growing up when we would go to grandma Billie's and tons of people in the kitchen plus little kids bouncing off the walls. I wanted to post another quick video of this Xmas Chaos!

A quick look of Xmas morning

2011 Begins

I think the last couple years Brian and I have been in bed by 8pm even on New Years Eve but this year we had the Perez Family over to hang with us and bring in the new year. Surprisingly, Kay & Brody, as tired as they were made it to 12. By 12:05 Kay was asleep on the computer desk chair and snoring.

"Is Ho Ho Coming"?

This was the first year Kaylee was really aware that something big was happening. Once we got our tree I would hear everyday, "Is Ho Ho coming"? And I tell her how many more days. This year we woke up Xmas morning at home so we could have our own small xmas and then around 12pm we headed for gramma and papa's hse. We also had our best friends there with us which I thought made it really fun and reminded me about my xmas's at grandma billie's with little kids ripping open presents, screaming, chasing eachother around. And lots of conversations going. I really enjoyed it. And we were spoiled rotten!
