Kellen Turns 2!

Oh my how fast the time goes! Kellen turned 2 today (December 27th). It seems like yesterday he had just been born and was snuggled up in my arms so tiny! Now Kellen has two speeds: Full and Out. Most of the time if he is up he is running full steam ahead, and we are all either left in the dust or running right behind him.

Dinner out with Friends

Every year we get together with friends for dinner out in Chico right around Christmas. This year we were missing a few of our near and dear, but we still had a great night. Food and friends equal a great night. Thanks everyone!

Christmas!

Kellen loved his new fire truck! We felt so bad giving it to him then making him leave it to visit the families, but he gets to play on it all day long now. He also started to really ham it up for the camera...wonder where he gets that from??

Justin Turns 28!

We had fun at Justin's 28th birthday, Kellen expecially liked the ice cream cake.

OFOGOT

Every year the women in our family who live in California get together for bonding, girl talk, wine, and the biggie: FOOD. We named it OFOGOT for: Our Family Of Girls Out Together. This year Christy was not able to make it (she better make it next year...or else!) but we also added the soon to be addition to our family and had Jenny (my brother's fiance) attend. Apparently we did not scare her off, because the wedding is still on. The power did go out for a couple of hours, but that never impeded our fun.

We watched Venn again and it was so cold out (freezing) that we let him sleep and hang out in the house. Kellen LOVED having Venn inside (easy access since Venn had to stay in the dining area), Kellen kept going over to pet and give him hugs and kisses. Venn's spot in the dining area grew smaller and smaller the more Kellen added his animals to either keep Venn company, or to play with him. It was very cute, and sweet!

Christmas Card Photo Session

It can be hard to find time that all three of us can get to a photographer, so last weekend we set up a quick photo session for Kellen for our Christmas Cards. I think they turned out pretty cute! Kellen ended up liking Oreos just as much as his Mommy does (a lot)!

Thanksgiving

18 people at this years Thanksgiving, and did we make sure we took pictures? Nope. Here are some that we did get. Hopefully we will be better next year ~ we had so much fun!

Kellen loved playing with Holly (my Auntie's little dog) and having so many people to play with. He even got to take Holly for a walk. I do believe his favorite part though was dancing to Uncle Norm's song about being on a boat in a storm.

Kellen is a great help raking up leaves!
