Too many to choose.....

Last year we started a new tradition of getting a new Hallmark Ornament. We go up on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, have dinner (@Red Robin) and then let the kids pick out a new ornament. There are sooo many to choose from and the kids had fun trying to find that perfect one!

Kensie couldn't decide. She first picked up wonder women and then went to the barbie, thumbelina, Cinderella in the coach, and finally decided on Ariel decorating a Coral Christmas tree. She started to throw them so we quickly got out of there!

It didn't take long for Cael to decide they had exactly what he wanted.

wa be-be!

Wa be-be (watch baby) has been the only thing Kensie has wanted to do lately. She discovered that there was a baby on Monters Inc and has totally been obsessed since. Cael has even been nice enough to share his TV so that she can watch it when her parents can not handle it on in the living room! She's went from Monsters Inc to The Grinch that stole Christmas and has lately been watching Peter Pan. What a great way to keep her entertain for at least 30 min!

Let there be light....

Kensie's Pony Party...

The little princess/wild child turned 2 on Nov 19, but we didn't have her party until the 21. Since she didn't really understand what was going on we waited and had her open her presents at her party. About a month earlier Nikki did a booth at the fall boutique so we spent a lot of time down there visiting her. There was a lady there selling Lee Middleton dolls. Kensie spotted them and would not leave the poor woman alone! She had to touch all there toes while saying " hi baby hi baby!" She then would raid the ladies burp cloths and cover them all with Be-be's (blankie). When I went down to help Nikki clean-up I couldn't help but buy one of them. She's been loving alot of diffent things lately and will quickly change her mind on what she likes. The babies are one thing that she has been majorly obsessed with and I don't see her getting sick of them anytime soon. She's also been loving Cee-Cee's(horsies) too. One day me and my mom had taken my Grandpa down dinner and was heading back to my house when she decided she needed to see a cee-cee. She started poking me and my mom screaming Cee-cee! We finally gave in a took a detour down by Brook Taylors horses. After that I thought a cee-cee party would fit her perfect. Nikki made her cute My little pony Cake and we had Cafe Rio for dinner. She opened a bunch of new babies, clothes, and my little pony toys. Overall she loved her party and everything went good. We love you wild girl!

Dear Kensie....

Please tell mommy when you want bubble bath instead of making your own out of my expensie shampoo and your johnson & johnson. If this keeps happening I may need to sell your christmas presents to pay for new. love you ~ Mom

Dear Santa.....

When I think back to my childhood, one thing stands out....The Wish Book at Christmas. Oh, I would spend hours turning the pages of the precious book. Back and forth, reading everything twice, trying to make that most difficult decision. On year we even lucked out and received TWO in the mail, talk about the best day of my life.... Well a month ago the American Girl catalog showed up in the mailbox. Ever since Kensie has been hooked on catalogs. The American Girl catalog soon became a pile of pieces and found it's way to the garbage. So my mom picked up one from the dollar store which was small and perfect to take on road trips. The Toys R Us big book has also been one of her favorites. Oh, she loves to look at her babies and studies every page with true excitement.

All wore out after a long day of wishing!

kiss me....

They just love each other.....most of the time! Kensie loves to give kisses and Cael loves to recieve.
