She's One!

Today is Isabell's 1st birthday. Kaylynn made her a new leash, a card and a birthday cake with her Easy Bake Oven; then we sang to her. She said not all her animals have birthdays (thank goodness - that would be a lot of cake!), but apparently Isabell does. Kaylynn is staying entertained on her winter break!

Nutcracker

Our little mouse did a great job in all her Nutcracker performances this weekend. She looked so cute and nailed her "solo" bumping into Clara!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Christmas begins...

The Christmas season has started and will continue all month long! Kaylynn had a great time at the Children's holiday party at NCAR. She painted an ornament, decorated a cookie, got her face painted, made a reindeer candy cane and had a nice chat with Santa!
We had an early Christmas with G&G Vogt, too. We got some great gifts and had a wonderful time with them visiting.
Kaylynn was so excited to get Kit's best friend - Ruthie!
And her new boots! She is a Justice kid from head to toe!
Just for fun, here are some pictures of Kaylynn and I all dolled up for "The Lion King" last month, too!
Can't you just hear the commentary while she is posing for pictures?!

Giving basketball a "shot"!

Kaylynn played basketball in October and November and (thankfully!) seemed to enjoy it! Here are some pictures of her out on the court against all the boys. She made several baskets and was pretty good at dribbling the ball up the court. I was personally very proud of her instincts to get back on defense so quickly!
