I love CHRISTMAS! In fact, I can hardly wait to start taking down my Thanksgiving decorations after dinner and getting out my Christmas decor! It's hard to find help because people are usually sleeping off their turkey! Anyways, I just feel like you should maximize the amount of days you can have your tree up. I have two Christmas tree's and only one is all done right now...Hopefully #2 will be up later this week. This tree below is my "kids" tree! I fill it full with all my favorite ornaments that I collect and i've had since I was little (My mom started the tradition.) It is mostly Hallmark stuff and I tend to buy a lot of Christmas ornaments when I go on vacation. Some of my favorites are my nutcracker and Clara blown glass ornaments I picked up after watching the Nutcracker Ballet in NYC last winter. I am starting to collect for Kenley now and this year we added some of her FAVORITE movie characters Elmo, lots of Mickey Mouse, Bell (Beauty and the Beast), Ariel (Little Mermaid), Rapunzel sp? (Tangled), Buzz, Woody & Jessy (Toy Story), Cinderella, and a cow in a Ballerina costume (For Kenley's first year of dance class) I put them all down low so she walks around and points out each one and tell anyone who will listen about them and she can say ALL their names! I also have a few that play little jingles and a Santa Blackberry that has a great voicemail recording so she also loves to play those about a 100 times a day!
Here is Kenley in front of the tree before we head out to dinner with the family!
This weekend Billy went to Salmon to do some fishing and 4-wheeling so I decided that I would take Kenley to her first movie! YAY! We decide to go see Disney's Tangled! I had heard amazing things about it! The first show we tried to see was SOLD OUT so we bought tickets for the next show which happened to be in 3D!
Here is Kenley for the first time in the movie theatre!
We went with Kenley's cousin Adley and also Adley's other little cousin Presley! They are all so cute! Kenley is the youngest out of the three (and the biggest lol!) Adley (middle) is 9 months older and Presley (far right) is 6 months older then Kenley! They are all in dance class together!
Rockin' the 3D glasses. They didn't last much longer after this!
I love that the theatre gave us booster seats to help them see better!
Waiting for the movie to start!
For her first movie EVER she actually did really good! Besides spilling her drink on her the last 15 minutes she was totally content with her popcorn and gummy bears!
With all the good snow we've been getting Aunt Courtney and Uncle Blake wanted to take Kenley sledding! So we got her all dressed up in her snow gear!
She was a little unsure at first but then jumped right in! She was loving it!
Then came time for some tubing fun!
Blake pulled Courtney and Kenley around the neighborhood with the 4-wheeler! She was loving every minute of it!
After they got done Kenley still didn't want to go inside so she stayed out in the garage with me while I finished organizing some bins and swept up the garage a bit. Right when we were about to go inside I heard a loud thud and then screaming!!! I came running around and saw Kenley on the ground in the shop garage where I think she slipped on some melted snow and banged her head on the corner of the grill and then fell face first into the concrete splitting her lip! It was a scary and SAD couple minutes! Here are some pics of the aftermath...
Her poor lip just kept swelling and swelling! Ouch!
Luckily, today she was feeling much better! Looks like we won't be doing our Christmas card pics this week after all!
