Flashback Part 2!!
OK so Adrie added me as a friend on Myspace, and I got to get into her pics...she has some great ones of little miss K that I just have to share!!

First is an actual baby picture. Even little bitty, she was the most adorable thing EVER!!


Here she is with her Auntie Adrie...not sure how old she is here, but I'm going to guess around 2 or 3.

And another with Auntie Adrie...SOOOOO CUTE!!

Here she is with Nana....

Here she is in front of Nana's front door. Nana loves to take pics here to show how much she's grown from year to year. She's just so little bitty here!!

To give you an idea of the change...here's one from Halloween two years ago, when she was dressed up as a cat. I had only been dating Brandon for a few months at this point...talk about a pretty big difference!!


Anyway, Lois is scratching at the door so I have to go check on her...stay tuned for more updates from Christmas and other holiday fun :)

Christmas Eve Fun!!
So we went over to the Nelson's to open presents last night. We had so much fun!! Kylah made out like a bandit, like usual. The joy of being a child!!

Here she is opening her SuperGirl pj's. They have a cape that velcroes on the back and everything!!


Here's Brandon with his new wallet and book light (you know, the ones you use to read at night when your spouse is trying to sleep).


OK the funny thing with this present...it's a set of every state quarter that NannyBoo (Brandon's Grandma, and Kylah's Great Grandma) started collecting for her 10 years ago. Kylah was opening it and said Ooooh a church book!! It was hilarious!! I was very touched that Nanny Boo had spent so much time collecting the quarters!! What a neat-o present!!


Last for now (we have to get over to the Vieth's house for our dirty santa game) is a picture of Rebecca, Adrienne, Kylah, and me wearing the super cool hats Nanny Boo crocheted for us. We are so totally stylin!!!


OK so I lied...this is the last one...Kylah sitting on the floor of Nana's kitchen eating some lemon squares (that were like a pie) that Adrienne made for us, with Molly (Nana's dog) begging for some. We loved the picture...Adrienne and I agreed that it looks like it needs to be on a Christmas card!!

Kylah and GPB's Birthday Fun!!
So way back when, on November 15th, Brandon and I threw Kylah a birthday party at Arctic Edge Ice Skating Rink in Edmond. She invited her whole kindergarten class, and we had a fairly good turnout. I think we had right around 10 of her friends, which in my opinion, was the perfect amount of people. The party included a cake, and two hours of ice skating. I didn't get a lot of pics, I was busy running around, but here are some of the best...

Here's a picture of her getting ready to start skating...


This is Brandon helping Dana, our neighbor friend, get her skates on...


And here's Kylah patiently waiting to actually get on the ice and skate...


I didn't manage to get any pictures of her actually out on the ice, but it didn't last long. I think they went around the rink once or maybe twice, and then everyone was pretty much done. Especially those kiddos that hadn't been ice skating before. But Kylah did in fact have a blast. I even went out (even though I personally don't like ice skating...but Kylah wanted me to, so how was I going to say no??) once with Kylah and managed to ALMOST get the hang of it after going around once. And by ALMOST getting the hang of it, I mean almost being able to let go of the railing for a few seconds :)

Today, December 7th, is GPB's birthday. Mom, dad, Kylah, Brandon, and I went up to Tulsa to help him celebrate. I didn't get many pictures, but I got a few here and there of people doing various things :)

Here's Kylah playing with her Lite Brite, which she LOVES!!

Here's Brandon reading his new "graphic novel" - meaning a comic book type novel...not anything else you might be thinking of :)

Here are mom and GMJ working in the kitchen...

Here's Brandon and I lying around on the couch (a self portrait so masterfully taken by yours truly)

And another one of Kylah, this time playing with her Tag Reader.

And here's the birthday boy with his present from mom...(ours hasn't arrived yet, it's a new book that he actually hasn't read!!)


So we had a GREAT time, and ate an amazingly delicious meal so lovingly prepared by GMJ!! It was awesome!!
