Christmas!

This year Christmas was even more exciting as Kenley was eagerly anticipating all of our family traditions and of course Santa.  Kenley was also super excited to celebrate Jesus' birthday! It is important for us as a family for our girls to understand and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. When talked about Christmas this year Kenley would almost always mention, "baby Jesus." LOVE!

We have for the past few years celebrated Christmas a few weeks early in CA then spent Christmas morning in KS with our families. We had a wonderful Holiday season and are so excited to celebrate next Christmas as a family of four!

Making cookies for Santa!

Super excited

The doll house was by far her favorite gift

Baby # 2!

We're pregnant...

 Yes, this post comes very late in my pregnancy as we're now 23 weeks pregnant, and everyone already knows. However, in all fairness I was extremely sick for the first 16 weeks, and I'm finally feeling like myself again. At around 12 weeks, I started feeling better during the daytime, however nights were still very difficult. I only got sick about 4 times, however I was in a constant state of nausea. I had HORRIBLE heartburn, headaches, cramping, and like most pregnancies I was beyond exhausted. I assumed that my second pregnancy was going to be very similar to my first, which was not the case. I literally didn't have any pregnancy symptoms while pregnant with Kenley, not even cravings! Now that I'm feeling so much better I can really begin to enjoy my pregnancy!

It's a Girl...

 I know I've already shared this as well. I'm overly thrilled that we're having another little girl enter our blessed lives! Our diagnostic doctor originally told us at 12 weeks that it appeared as though we were having a little boy. She said 75% chance we were going to have a little boy. She did tell us though that it could be the umbilical cord. I was almost certain we were having a boy since my pregnancy symptoms were so different than my first pregnancy. When we went back in at 20 weeks the doctor asked, "now what did I tell you that sex was?" I said, "75% chance a boy!" She said, "It's actually a GIRL!" I must admit I was quite excited, as I so wanted Kenley to have a sister. I think Blaine was in a little shock at first, however he is beyond ecstatic as well. 

Cheers to a continued life wrapped in PINK! 

Halloween

This Halloween Kenley dressed up as Cinderella! She is totally into princesses and has already decided she wants to be Rapunzel next Halloween. Blaine and I met up with all the other parents at the daycare Kenley attends to take the kids trick-or-treating around Miss Lynette's (Daycare provider) neighborhood. It was so much fun watching the kids together. After we finished gathering massive amounts of candy in this neighborhood we headed home where I handed out candy to our neighborhood children. I absolutely love seeing all the costumes and the smiles on the little kids faces! Blaine took Kenley around our neighborhood with some of the other children on the block. By this time, I was barely alive as it was still early on in my pregnancy so I was fine with handing out candy.

Kenley and her good friend, Addison!

Trying to get a decent picture of all the kids.

Such big kids now!

Kenley and Kaydee! 

It's hard to believe they're 2 weeks apart in age.
