Kennedy and Elise took a break from sledding to wallow in the snow for awhile. The abominable Snow-Kaitlyn. Logan the Snow Monster. Kennedy and Mackenzie getting ready to head home.
We took our annual sledding trip and invited Mackenzie's BFF Morgan and their cousins Logan & Elise to come sledding with us. It was a beautiful snowy day and they sledded until they couldn't stand up anymore!!! Drew on one of his many trips up and down the sledding hill chasing kids. This gives you a good view of the snow that was falling that day! Kennedy and Logan go for a slide.
To listen to your i-pod, you must wear dress ups. However, since it is cold, you must wear a shirt under your dress ups so you are not cold. Fashion do's from Mackenzie. Please note the i-flops headphones, the i-pod sounds better with giant monkey head headphones according to Mackenzie.
We got clobbered with snow this week. Naturally the girls loved it! Drew plays Toss the Kenzie-she thought it was great fun! Such a cute little poser, isn't she??? Kennedy having some snowtime with her sister. Mackenzie with her little friend that we are babysitting 2 1/2 days a week. They stayed out until they were half frozen and loved every minute of it.
Another view of the party dresses from Christmas Eve. Mackenzie in the dress-up made for her by Mom-isn't she adorable? This is the giant horse her Uncle Brad got her that she always wanted that her Mom wouldn't buyed for her. (Mackenzie's exact words) Uncle Brad got Katie a Pirates of the Caribbean Boom Box. He knows her well. She loves having the chest of Davy Jones with his glowing heart in her room right by her bed. (Go figure)
Kennedy in front of the Santa House The girls in their fancy clothes at Great-Grandma Behrends for Christmas Eve. The big family gift-a Wii. We all love it! Mackenzie and Kennedy both got their hearts desire, a guitar! Now we just need some earplugs.... Katie got the skateboard she asked for.
Mackenzie dipping pretzels-yes there is a pretzel under all that chocolate! Our family photo shot for the Christmas cards we did not send. Jamie and Kalynn got Drew a remote control helicopter. He was like a kid flying it all over the house! Kennedy and Mackenzie with their cousin Hannah in the sleigh at the Santa House. Mackenzie "I want a guitar and some polar bears" ?????? She got the guitar. Not so much the polar bears.
Kaitlyn joined Girls on Track this year and on Dec 15th she ran her first 5K outside in the snow and slush! She did an awesome job and had a lot of fun going to all of the meetings this year.
