Christmas 2008

Kayla had a wonderful Christmas and was so surprised with what Santa brought her since she had been a good little girl all year. Mommy and Daddy where naughty and bad if you asked Kayla since she didn't get her black baby sister for Christmas, which is a really long funny story, but she was excited with her gifts. We hope that everyone had a wonderful and happy holiday. We will post more pictures for Kayla's 3rd birthday coming up on Jan 2nd....less than a week yeah!

Christmas Cookies with Kayla 2008

Kayla Unpatiently waiting for the cookies to get done. She was ready to eat them as soon as we decorated them, they where very yummy!







Before the cookies where baked, she wanted to use her Princess Sprinkles.
















































Trying to keep Kayla out of the cookie dough long enough to mix it all up.















Kayla loves to help cook and is great helper most of the time. We had so much fun making cookies this year. She really got into the cookie decorating too!

Christmas with My Best Friends 2008

Kayla wanted Sara and Mandy to wear her Sleeping Beauty Costume, so they attempted just for her, it was so funny. It was a great night had by all.

Mandy, Kayla in her Sleeping Beauty Costume, and Sara with their tissue paper hats on.










Daddy with a pink tissue paper hat on, he was such a great sport about it all night.










My friends Sara, Mandy, and I get together once a week and do GNI--Girls Night In, since it is cheaper to go to each other's houses and eat and be sociable than going out to eat all the time, plus we don't have to rush, we have been doing it for about two years, it has been so much fun. We exchanged Christmas Presents with each other the week before. Here are some of the fun pictures of that night!

Christmas Play 2008

I was laughing so hard that I couldn't take a really great picture, but Ms. Katie is about 7 months pregnant and was carrying Kayla back towards her classmates.







Kayla singing and Dancing with her classmates.

Mommy and Daddy with Kayla after the show!


Kayla had her Christmas Program with her daycare at Porter Memorial Church here in Lexington on Dec 6th, 2008. Her class dressed up as Chipmunks, as each class had a theme. Of course my child stole the show, she ran around on the stage, and wanted to play especially since she had this huge audience to be able to make laugh, she is so much like Paul, always the jokester. She did eventually stand with her class mates and sing and dance. Santa Clause was watching her she said so she had to be good...lol.

Kayla and Grandmother Hodges reading a Animal Book with Sound Effects.




Kayla, my daddy, and I went to my Grandmother Hodges' house this year for Thanksgiving, it was the first time I had been home to Charlotte since Paul and I got married, 6 years ago. Kayla got to meet her Great Grandmother for the first time, it was such a wonderful time for us all. My Grandmother is such a wonderful woman and a retired school teacher with the patience of a angel even at 86 years old.

Halloween 2008----A little late!

Kayla and her Prince Charming for Halloween


My Beautiful Cinderella.

Kayla was so excited about Halloween this year, she loved her Cinderella costume. She tuckered out pretty quickly though since it got chilly quickly after we started and she hates to wear a jacket.
