Snowman!

Kynzley made her FIRST snowman!!!!!!! It turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself :-) It was a beautiful afternoon and we enjoyed it fully!

SNOW!!! & C.H.I.C.A.G.O

Well, it took until January, but we FINALLY have snow!!!! It keeps coming down and I think it will be around for awhile :) Of course Kynzley and I had to play in it! Her favorite was sledding.

(sorry the video is sideways)

C.H.I.C.A.G.O! w/ a stop in Madison :-)

Kynzley and I took a road trip Monday - Wednesday to visit Micki and Mckenna! Kynzley did great in the car!!!! (Mommy was nervous since it's a four hour trip and I was by myself.) She kept telling me (because she was awake for the whole trip) "Kenna's house out!" She knew that when we got to McKenna's house she could get out of the car :-) We had a great time and the weather was beautiful. On Tuesday we joined McKenna at her music class, it was such a fun class and a great morning! On Wednesday, we packed up and headed home, with a stop in Madison to visit Bekah and Elliot (Kynzley's future husband!). Kynzley had a blast playing with Elliot's toys and Elliot had a blast following Kynzley around jabbering at her :-) 

Playing with McKenna's Disney stickers

Library time!

McKenna fell and got an owie on her knee, which meant Kynzley also had an owie on her knee :-)

Madison:

Catch up

We've been keeping busy!

Kynzley found mommy's shoes from NYE!

 Zoie didn't have school the beginning of the week but her mother (Ms. Twite) did, so she got to spend the day with us! We started off the day with a small batch of sugar cookies!

 Kynzley's very first cut out :-)

 She was doing so well frosting the cookies, UNTIL she realized the frosting was edible.

 The girls' finished masterpieces 

After cookies it was time for a little dress up! The girls had a great day together. Every morning when Kynzley wakes up she asks for her Zoie - thank goodness every morning Zoie is here to grant her wish :)

The weather has been BEAUTIFUL lately! We have had the opportunity to be outside and enjoy some fresh air! Kynzley got to take her new bike outside and even got to blow a few bubbles - in JANUARY!

Playing in the very little snow we do have. I do wish we had a chance to go sledding and make a snowman.

Christmas wrap up!

We've wrapped up our Christmas(s). Christmas #1 was great, Christmas #2 was great and Christmas 3 and 4 were just as great!! We spent Christmas Eve just the four of us (Cody is always included Ü). We got all pretty and went to church, had a great meal, and watched Kynzley open a couple of gifts before Santa brought more for the morning. On Christmas Day Kynzley woke up to open more gifts and we after we packed up and headed to Wisconsin Dells to spend some time splashing at the water parks! We had a great time! It was a great way to wrap up Christmas and start Francis' vacation!!!!! *Of course MY camera would die when we got to the water park :-(

 Opening a couple of her smaller gifts Christmas Eve night

 "Santa" putting together Kynzley's new bike

 Christmas Morning!

 Santa hid her bike until all her other presents were open. She was SOOOO excited!

 The hotel we stayed at had three indoor water parks. This was the first one we went to - she had a blast. I had very little battery on my camera and it was REALLY difficult to take pictures with all the water shooting everywhere!

 The hotel also had a HUGE arcade with a indoor jungle gym that we played at after dinner!

 After the water park and playing at the jungle gym a relaxing bubble bath was in order :)

 After bath time it was time for popcorn, cuddles and Shrek!

 Day #2 - water park #2 (my camera died here, the third water park was by far Kynzley's favorite!)

One of the kiddie slides. *On our first day we chose a big slide to go down, thinking Kynzley could sit on our laps - NOPE! I went first and while waiting for Francis and Kynzley at the bottom all I saw was Kynzley coming through the end of the tube, scared me to death but she had a blast and had a huge smile on her face. I guess they don't have age or height restrictions on the slides. 

Counting!

The other night I handed Kynzley a lego and said "one" and she answered back "two, fee, our, ive!" Francis and I looked at each other and wanted to die (in a good way!!!!)!!!!!! We were stunned. We are so proud of her! *Of course when we tried to record her, she wasn't having it and kept telling us "NNNOOOO!!!" Tonight I was able to grab the camera, but she had already started so we only caught from two on :-)

Christmas #2

Christmas number two ... CHECK! We had our Twite family Christmas this past Saturday and it was a great time. We had everyone over for a pasta dinner and to watch the kiddies open their gifts. *I've been wishing for snow for Christmas and it was great to wake up Saturday morning with a pretty covering on the ground! (sadly, its gone now) Kynzley got all bundled up and played in it for a bit!
