We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We had a White Christmas, so Zane went to work out at the airport (supervising snow removal). We woke Kyla up so that she could see what Santa brought her and that he ate the cookies and milk she put out for him. She opened a few gifts before Daddy left.

We had family come to spend time with us, which I am so glad! I think Kyla enjoyed playing with her Tio the most. She finally ended up crashing on the couch!

Here are some pictures. I took the outside ones today, as it was snowing all day on Christmas.

I made cookies yesterday for a cookie exchange, about 10 dozens. I don’t usually take pictures of food, but I thought I would take a picture of my cookies lined up on the wire rack.

While I was baking the cookies Kyla came to me and asked if she could take a picture. She had the remote to my camera in her hand. She recently realized that we take our family pictures with the remote and likes to try it out herself. So I set the camera up for her by the tree and went back to my cookies. When I came back she had taken almost 300 pictures, which most of them she was not in. But these were two of many that she captured. She started with just herself in the picture, but then she started taking ornaments off the tree and holding them up to the camera and snapping away.

When we were out last night taking pictures, Zane told me to take a picture of the moon. So this was my result. I can’t wait to take a picture of the moon when it is full.

Well it only took Zane 4.5 weeks, but he finally got our lights up!!!! They even blink and dance to music. I was playing around with the camera on the second shot.

We attended Chelsea and Kenny’s Wedding on Saturday at the Pinecrest in Palmer Lake. It was a very nice ceremony and reception. Kyla enjoyed taking pictures with the disposable camera that was on our table. Not sure how they will turn out! Kyla also had fun dancing and running around with the other kids. The groom was even able to get a dance in with Kyla!

Here are a few pictures from our evening.

We really aren’t going to name him Spike, just had to put that in for a friend!

I had a Dr. appointment last week. Zane was working at the airport, so Kyla joined me for a sneak peek at her brother. They did an ultrasound to take measurements and make sure that the placenta had moved away from my cervix. Everything is going great, I just feel like a foot is going to break through my tummy with how much this little guy moves.

Kyla asked me yesterday before church, “Mommy, you gonna pop?”. I sure feel like it somedays. Zane and I had a good laugh!

Here are some of our ultrasound pictures. Sorry if you can’t tell what you are looking at.

This one is of his profile.

And this one is of his face. You can see an eye socket and mouth.

And you can see a hand just below his jaw.

Of course we are addicted and had to get Guitar Hero III. We brought it home and as always Kyla has to join in. She has taken over one of the guitars, and she gets quite into it. The first night we played she fell asleep sitting with Zane and the guitar in hand. She like to mimic the guitar player on screen, so when they kick she does as well.

We went to the parade of lights on Friday night in downtown Denver. It was chilly, but we were bundled and prepared with our hot chocolate and popcorn! It was a good way to start off the month of December, which I still can’t believe is here. We are excited to see Tia and Tio at the end of this month!!
