Kaylee's 1st Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by our family. Christmas Eve we spent with the Ritter side and Christmas day we spent with the Blackburn/Hurley side. I feel very blessed to live close to all my family.

Why is it that almost every one year old is scared of Santa??? I can't help but laugh when looking at this picture of Kaylee and Santa!

A little better
Happy again!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Fun Weekend

A great part about the holiday season is getting together with friends. This weekend was busy with a girls night out in Redondo, Christmas get together with friends and our family Christmas party. We are so blessed to have wonderful family and friends.

Christmas Early

Last year we started a new tradition with the Ritter side of the family. With all of our families growing we decided to get together before Christmas instead of on Christmas day like in the past. Everyone brings an appetizer and gifts for the little ones. This year we did a pajama theme...Of course I had to be over the top along with my sister Nellie. It was a great night and always wonderful to spend time with all the family.

Feeling Crafty

Today I decided to make Kaylee a tutu for her birthday party. My girlfriend Haley told me how to do it. I think it turned out SO cute!!!

Hailee's Christmas Performance

Last night we went to Hailee's 1st preschool Christmas performance. She did such a great job. It was the cutest thing! Kaylee and I loved watching all the kids sing.

Our Sweet Angel

The nativity... Hailee was the angel

I was a very proud auntie

Check out all those teeth!

Santa

I found this picture on Grandma's camera as well. This was taken before Thanksgiving... Cousin Conner and Kaylee with Santa. Jeremy and I looking forward to taking her again sometime before Christmas.

Moms Camera

I found my moms camera in my diaper bag and was excited to find some old pictures on it that I had never seen.

Kaylee with some of the daycare kids. My mom owns a family home daycare and has for 25 years. Kaylee had a blast that day. All the kids love her it is so sweet.

They kept her paci in her mouth all day so that she would not eat dirt. I will never forget to pack shoes again... she could water ski in this pair :)

I love how dark her hair was... I think she was about 3 months. Her 1st sleep over with Grammy and Grandpa.
Much happier during bath time here. I think she is 10 months??

Happy Birthday Elle

Today we celebrated Elle's 1st birthday. Haley and Sean had a fun Cowgirl party for there little Elle Belle! Kaylee had a great time! Happy Birthday Elle!

Enjoying the Season

Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE the holiday season. We have already been enjoying some fun festive things! My poor hubby probably can't wait for it to all be over :)

Harley is ready too...

11 Months

It is hard to believe that in just a month our little girl will be a year old already. We have been having SO much fun with Kaylee lately. She is a very happy and animated little girl. She now has 6 teeth (her top 4 came all at once, that was fun), loves her doggy, cousins, and all things she is not suppose to (stairs, Harley's bones, the dog bowls, phones, remotes, camera, key... etc.) as most children do at this age. She is also no longer nursing which was harder on me than her. I absolutely LOVE this age and enjoy all the new things that happen daily. Here are a couple pictures taken this last week.

Showering Baby Emily

Our cousins Nichole and Tim are expecting a baby girl. Yesterday all the ladies enjoyed a shower for baby Emily. It was great to see all the family. Nichole is so cute with her little belly. Congrats Rapp Family!!
