Merry Christmas!!!

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. And it's over already?!? Wow, how the time does fly by. Well Santa made it out in full force this year. Between all the grandparents, aunts and uncles etc., I think that Kaylee must have tripled her toy supply. This is all good news as mommy and Kaylee should have plenty to play with for the foreseeable future. It sure was fun to watch Kaylee open her gifts this year. She kept wondering why she couldn't play with her new toys after she opened them, but she just had so many presents and we would have been at it all day long!

Her favorite gift by far was a "Baby and Me" dolly and stroller set. Her eyes lit up like Christmas lights the second she saw it! And she's been pushing it ever since. It's just the cutest thing to watch her and see how caring she is for her little baby.

She's such a good mommy to her baby. She feeds her...

and then burps her (and rubs her back)...

then makes sure she's ok...

and then off they go again!

She loves wearing her new shades too...

She received various art gifts also. She LOVES drawing and coloring.

And of course she got some new clothes too. Her auntie Kelly's friend got her this new sweater and some cute jeans to go with it.

Kaylee's Grandpa and Grandma Thomson bought this beautiful dress for her.

And here is Kaylee wearing her first pair of Christmas pajamas that she got from her Gramma (many more to come!)

Here's Kaylee and her cousin Tyler looking all festive together...

Here are some other random Christmas pics...

Silly Girl...

It's so funny to see Kaylee's personality change depending on the situation she's in. If she is around strangers, or people that she doesn't know, she clams up, gets real shy and doesn't really move or make any noise. But if she's around her family she's a crazy little busy body! She's such a happy little girl and we love her so much!

Here is a collection of some random pics of Kaylee being Kaylee.

Kaylee found this swim diaper and thought it would make a nice hat.

Kaylee and her Great Grandpa Flint reading a book.

A friend of Holly's and Kaylee's made these bows for Kaylee and she just loved playing with them. She wanted to put all of them in her hair!

Here she is playing by the tree with her bows...

Kaylee and Daddy snuggling in bed one morning!

Here she is getting a kick out of wearing Mommy's kicks...

And look at our little computer genius at work!

Thanksgiving Fun

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We were so fortunate to be able to have family come down and visit us! Three of Jared's brothers, his sister, a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law all came down to visit and we had a blast! Kaylee was a little overwhelmed by all the visitors (can you blame her?) but I think she really enjoyed it. Thanks for coming everyone! We miss you all already.

Justin and Talia came down on Sunday and stayed until Wednesday. We had tons of fun with them and enjoyed seeing downtown Long Beach too.

Kaylee getting her jiggy on...

Here's the rest of the crew playing RB...

Kaylee being cute giving her cousin Tyler a little kiss...

Kaylee loves her uncle Primmy. What cute pics!

Uncle Deric thoroughly enjoyed being with Cuddles. I'm sure Kaylee felt the same way ;-)

The major breakthrough was Kaylee with uncle Jeremy. She used to cry whenever he would get near her. Look at them now!

Kaylee enjoying time with her aunt Darcee...

The crew at the beach...

At the Spectrum in Irvine...

Kaylee giving her "Joe Cool" look...

Love those cheeks!

We love you all! Come back soon!

Sleepwalker?

Have you ever noticed that when you have company or some special event that that is when the house gets looking the best? It's a blessing and a cures, I guess. Well we've actually been decorating our house the past couple of weeks because all of Jared's siblings and their spouses are coming down to visit for Thanksgiving (4 brothers, 1 sister, 2 sisters-in-law and 1 brother-in-law). So we should have a full house! We're excited to have everyone here and can't wait for the company to arrive.

I just couldn't help but post this picture of Kaylee. It was taken at just the right time (or just a split second too late, depending on your opinion) and I think that it is a classic. Eheheh...

Here are some other cute pics of Kaylee...

Playing with (or teasing) the doggy...

And playing with her stamps at Gramma's house...

And can you believe that Kaylee's auntie Kelly made her another outfit?!? She's so talented (and patient) to be able to do this! Thanks so much! It turned out great and she looks quite cute.

And here are a few of Kaylee and her friend Samuel. Kaylee's so nice...she loves feeding Sammy her Cheerios!

Cute kids!
