Family Time

We had the pleasure of spending time with Uncle George and Aunt Connie from Colorado the weekend of Dec. 15th. Melissa brought Nathan and Kristen up to see them.  The kids enjoyed reading books with Uncle George and playing with Aunt Connie. 

We tried to get a picture with the three kids.  It was super funny.  Especially when we decided to give them props of a tea kettle and cups.  Kristen was a trooper while the other two moved around. 

Christmas Time

During this December, Kelsey has gotten to into the Christmas spirit.  Last year godmommy Meghan gave her a magnetic nativity scene.  She absolutely loves it.  We read the book "In a Stable" from Aunt Nell Nell to recreate the story. 

We thought Kelsey would like to help decorate the Christmas tree but, not so much.  She enjoyed playing with the ornaments and containers while we decorated, or shall I say NanNan decorated.  Kelsey was excited to help put the star on the top, but it drooped so they tried again and magic!

This beautiful picture was taken at Aunt Tammie and Uncle Randy's Christmas party.  What a perfect moment.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!  We had a wonderful Christmas up in Newburg, PA with NanNan and PopPop.  Kelsey had a fever and a cough over the weekend so we started our trip a little late.  We made it to Christmas Eve service and PopPop read "The Night Before Christmas" before she went to bed.  On Christmas Day we were busy with Skyping with Florida a few times and having Grandma and Grandpa join us to open presents Christmas night.  Thank you to all who made this a wonderful holiday for our family!

 

 

Santa brought Kelsey an easel and puzzles with Cinderella wrapping paper.

Kelsey got 2 baby dolls: Mary (left) from NanNan and Nancy (right) from Grandma.  The blanket was made by Aunt Tammie and the hat by Great Aunt Marie.  She loves them all!!!!

 

Craft fair, Walking Light Trail, and Christmas Lights

On December 1 Grandma had a booth at a craft fair to sell her crafty baby and toddler items.  Kelsey had a good time hanging out showing off her hat that Grandma made.  That night she went on a walking light tour with Grandpa.  She wasn't a huge fan of it because it was pretty dark, but she does love lights on houses. 

Mark put the Christmas light ups on our house.  We were very excited to see Kelsey's reaction.  She did not like them and asked us to turn them off.  After some time she has now warmed up to them and likes them.  Yay! Great job Mark!

 

 

 

Thanksgiving

Sorry for the late post.  We got a message about our blogspot account being out of storage space.  We are figuring out the problem and hope I can keep blogging for free.  For Thanksgiving we went down to NC.  Kelsey and Nathan had a blast playing together and Kristen is the happiest baby.  I can't wait to see her running around with Kelsey and Nathan next year.  We had a wonderful time!
