Kenley's Stocking

I wanted to get Kenley's stocking after Christmas this year so that it would be on sale. I love her stocking. The top of it has a ruffle. It's by Mudpie, they make the cuttest baby clothes.

Christmas Gifts

We all got wonderful gifts. I'm pretty sure Luke got everything he wanted and more. We got a lot of baby items for our Christmas. My parents bought Kenley's mattress and crib for us. My mom also got us a hand made pink baby blanket and Kenley's first scrapbook. Kevin's parents ordered her bedding for us for Christmas (I'm so excited to see it). Kevin got me her stroller too. I really wanted a pink one, but since we plan on having one more I decided to go with neutral colors. I'm also afraid I might get tired of pink one day, I doubt it though (there is way to much pink for girls). My sister got Kenley a pair of vintage socks that I love and a vintage night light that I wanted for her room. We are now making progress on getting her room together (for those who know me, know that if i could i would have her room done and everything in it in one day. I would like to have her room fully completed by the end of February.) My mom and dad also got me the Willow Treee Nativity Scene for Christmas.

Christmas Day

We had a wonderful Christmas. I woke up at 6:50 since my parents, sister, Hunter, and grandma were coming over @ 7:00 to watch Luke open up presents. For breakfast we had a breakfast casserole and I made Star Bucks Cranberry Bliss bars. After we opened presents and had breakfast Luke went to his dad's to do Christmas. While Luke was at his dad's Kevin and Hunter got a chance to play on the Wii that we got for Christmas. My mom, sister, and I got Christmas dinner ready. My mom brought her mom's crystal over for us to use for dinner. We sat the table up really pretty. After Christmas dinner we played the Wii again.

Christmas Eve

We went to church then came home and Luke got to open 1 present and we tracked Santa. Before we went to bed Luke set out chocolate chip cookies and milk for Santa.

Daddy putting crib and her tree together

Here are some pics of Kevin putting Kenley's crib and tree up. I ordered this giant tree sticker and was very nervous about putting it up since it was expensive. If you ruin it, you can't return it. It turned out really good!! Mollie was sitting at the door wondering what we were doing since we never go in that room. She has no idea who will be in that room soon.

We had a scare

Friday morning at school we were watching X Mas movies with Karen's class. Karen is also pregnant, we are 5 weeks apart. Wed. and Thurs. I told her that I haven't felt Kenley move at all. She usually moves a lot. I was kind of joking when I asked her if I should call the Doctor and just see what they say. So I decided to call; I told the nurse that this is going to be a silly question but i haven't felt the baby move for 2 full days and going on the third. She then asked how far along i was and i said 24 weeks. She then said you need to come in right now for an emergency sonogram. I was shocked, I told her I'm a teacher and don't think i can right now. She said I needed to. So I ran to Karen's room and told her that they want me to come in. We were both shocked. I ran to the office scared and crying and told my principal what had happened and she let me go (she's the best). My mom met me up there. I only had to wait for a few minutes and they called me back. They did the sonogram and said that nothing was wrong that she looked very healthy. They said she had positioned herself behind my uterus. So when she was kicking she was kicking my uterus and I couldn't feel anything. Later that night I could feel her move so much.

X Mas Party

Luke had a X Mas party at Gtti's. He got to buy toys with his Arrnie Dillo dollars, make a stocking, and see Santa. Luke also drinking hot chocolate in front of the tree.

Gingerbread House

Every year we decorate a gingerbread house. Here are some pics of Luke working on it.

Luke's X Mas Tree Contest

Luke had a X Mas tree contest at school. We went all out on it (actually I did). We did a Star Wars tree with X Mas lights. Luke won 1st place.

Kerrville

We drove to Kerrville Friday, Dec. 4 for a wedding that Kevin was in. The wedding didn't start till the evening on Saturday and since I have never been to Fredericksburg, Kevin took me early morning. I LOVED IT!! We got there early and were able to pick any parking spot we wanted to. We ate breakfast at some little cafe. We then walked to the visitor center to get a map of all the shops. They were having their Christmas in the Park too. Kevin loved it too since he could walk with his beer while I shopped. I wanted to drink wine soooo bad. We found Kenley's diaper bag (I love it! My Christmas present). We also found her an outfit, 2 bows, and a "K".

Black Friday

I woke up at 2:30 in the morning to start shopping. It was sooo much fun, yet very tiring. I can't show everything I got because Luke can't see. I did get Kenley some clothes.

Snow in San Angelo

Thursday night Dec. 3 it started to snow. When we woke up to get ready for school there were huge snowflakes flakes falling. Kevin left for work early that morning because we had to go to Kerrville right after work. Well, when I went to start the truck I rolled the back windows down to knock the snow off. When I tried to roll them back up one of the windows wouldn't come up. So I had to call Kevin and he had to drive us to school or Luke would have freezed. School was fun, we took the kids out to play and take their pics in the snow.

1st For Sure Kicks

Nov. 9 was my first time for sure I felt Kenley kick. I was laying on the couch with the laptop on my stomach and I felt her kick. I think I felt her earlier in the weeks, but wasn't sure. Kevin's first time to actually feel her kick was Dec. 4th. She is so active from about 10:00 to midnight.

Luke Lost His 1st Tooth

Luke lost his first tooth on Nov. 16. He was playing outside with his friend after school and they bumped into each other. His tooth was bleeding and I looked at it and noticed it was loose. When we got home I twisted it a little and it came right out. It must have been loose for a while because his new tooth was already coming in. Here are a few pics. Some are of him waking up and seeing finding what the Toothfairy left him. He was so happy!

Early Decorating

It has been forever since I've been on here. Right after halloween I started decorating for Christmas. Here is our tree. I love the top of it.
