Kenley and Cooper's Blog

Hi All - We've been having some January fun these last few weeks! Last weekend, I took off for an amazing girls weekend/college reunion with my college roomies, Michelle, Katy, and Meghan! It was a total blast and I love my amazing husband Michael and my parents for watching Kenley while I was gone! Kenley spent most of the weekend with Bebe and Papa, where she helped shop for the last few items for Baby Sugar and had a ladies lunch with Michal, Bebe, and Nan.  Here are a few miscellaneous pictures of Kenley - here she is actually drawing a PERSON - so crazy!

Here are a few photos of our gathering: And Mom and Dad and I stole a chance to get out ...

Here's some pics of the fun we had today in the snow! Kenley cried after sledding because she was cold, but hey, isn't that part of the fun? Michael was out driving to every local store to find a sled last night, right before the snow came down - what a good daddy! And a video of Daddy and Kenley sledding!

Wow.  We have taken almost no pictures in the last few weeks! Well, here you go! Kenley and I have made two trips to the zoo with friend Finn and family the last two weekends.  Here's Kenley riding the carousel at the zoo on the horse she named "Lady." And Kenley playing in the bathtub.  Whoopee!

Here are some photos from Christmas! A sort of random mix. Making christmas cookies! Heading to the Christmas Ships! Playing radio disney games with the big kids. Kenley won a prize for bringing up an item that started with "S" - her shoe! She had a little help from auntie my my with that one. Visiting the living nativity down the street from Bebe and Papa's house.  We went to see the camel, but Kenley found the baby (doll) most fascinating. Here's her little outline checking out the baby Jesus. Making rolls with Papa Bert. Cheers!    Opening one present on christmas eve - jammies! Kenley and Papa prepare for Santa claus.
