It's the Holiday Season!


Randy sat Kenadi on his lap and asked her what she wanted for Christmas. This is her telling him that she wants a piano, "a PINK piano! It's broken. Yea, it's sad" She was talking about one she saw in Target that didn't work. She was pretty sad about it.

"What else do you want?" "Um, I want shopping." "shopping?" "Yea, PINK shopping!"

I LOVE the Holidays!

This year we aren't going home for Christmas... it will be the first. We are really sad to not be with our family up in Washington, but we are also excited to start some of our own traditions.

Tradition #1, we put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving! Kenadi loved it, and runs into the living room everyday saying, "it's Chritmas!" (I know it looks like I spelled it wrong, but she doesn't say the "s", so that's how it sounds)

#2, we went to the lighted boat parade on the Oklahoma River this year. It was fun. There were fireworks, and boats with lights on them. I couldn't get any pictures of the boats or the fireworks that weren't blurry. Emma is hiding under the blanket on the other side of Randy. It was too cold to bring her out for the picture. In all of the other pictures Emma isn't in them because she's attatched to me, and I'm the photographer.
I don't mind if this becomes tradition...
I love this picture because Kenadi didn't know that I was going to take her picture, she just looked up at me and had that beautiful smile on her face while she was starting to tell me something. I wish I could remember what she was saying...

We raked leaves and I told her to jump in them. It was fun, except that my leaves all got scattered so much that it took me twice as long to rake them. Oh well... memories, right?

Not a tradition, but just something I wanted to show you:
Our sweet neighbor comes over about 3 times a week to take Kenadi on a walk. He's her Oklahoma grandpa. He is so nice to us, and Kenadi. We love him. Anyways, they go on a walk down the road to this stump and sit on it and talk for a while, then they come back. Isn't that cute?

Nick and I laughed at Kenadi's cute "pink piano" conversation with Randy! She is getting so big and still super cute! How is she doing with Emma getting so much attention? We love you guys!

The bath picture is amazing! It is really fun to have your own traditions at Christmas, although I know your folks will miss you. We always stay home for Christmas and do our own thing.
