What a busy, fun-filled holiday week!
The day after Christmas we went to Muleshoe to celebrate (some more) with my family. Abbye had gotten a table like Miss K's, so Kenna made herself right at home from the very beginning. She got so excited and played so hard that she was almost sweating! We had to take all of her clothes off so that she could cool down.
Kenna is showing off her new hat/bow. I think it is a nice new look....hat/bow and diaper! :)
We gave both of the girls some iced Christmas cookies for lunch on Saturday. They had a blast licking the icing! And we wondered why Kenna wouldnt take much of a nap....(we only let her play for a few minutes, but apparently that was enough!)
We started off our extended celebration by having Daniel's family over for dinner on Christmas Eve. I had to work that morning, but we had a lot of fun getting everything ready for our Mexican-themed dinner of sour cream enchiladas and all the fixings. Dan and I had quite the assembly line going to make the enchiladas while Uncle Nathan was playing with Miss K. Once everyone arrived and had a full stomach, we had a lot of 'fun and games.' The guys played ping pong and Foosball upstairs while we decorated cookies and 'listened' to the Polar Express playing on the TV. I think we ended up with some pretty cute cookies!
Kenna wanted to be a part of the action in the kitchen so I put her in her high chair and let her watch. Somehow, she eventually ended up with a cookie on the tray. I guess I thought she would just play with it....but, she proved me wrong on that front!
Yummy, Yummy! She actually didn't eat all that much...just a few crumbs!
The Polar Express DVD that Mandy brought over also had a 3D version available. Some of the guys decided they needed to try out the glasses. I love this picture....all the adults with the glasses while the kids are just hanging out.
Christmas morning came and there were several presents by the fireplace. Miss K seemed to really like all of her new clothes and toys.
I loved the fact that she crawled straight to the red shirt that said Diva in rhinestones :)
Her absolute FAVORITE toy of the whole Christmas season is her new learning table. She L-O-V-E-S this table. She gets sooo excited every time that she sees it and wants to lean on it and make noise. She has already started singing along (and dancing) with the music that plays. My next goal is to get a video of her playing....it is hilarious! She is getting better and better about standing next to it and tried to let go and stand on her own a few times today (didn't have the best results with that one).
We left soon after to visit my grandmother in Snyder. It was fun to meet up with my family and let the girls hang out together. They are really starting to play together and interact more. Kenna was definitely ready to get out of the car seat and get down and play!
She thought the boxes were a lot of fun.
We took the opportunity to take a picture with my grandmother, all of my cousins, and my cousins-in-law.

We went to church with my family on Sunday before heading home. Kenna was the quite the entertainer for everyone sitting close enough to see her. Every time we started singing, she would dance and dance - with all four limbs! She was really getting into the music.
She did much better on the way home, which I was very grateful for! She even slept off and on for 3.5 of the 6.5 hour drive....not bad at all!
I am sure there are a lot more pictures from this weekend, but this is a good start! Be on the lookout for a video of Kenna playing....hopefully it will be coming soon.

Fun! Ethan got a similar learning table and was seen wearing the same red striped Christmas PJs that Miss K wore last week! Glad you guys had a good time!
