Christmas Time

We had a very busy Decemeber. Kennedy was full of excitment even though she really didn't know why. Maybe because Mommy and Daddy were so excited. We started the Holiday season with a trip to see Santa at the mall with our cousin Hope. The closest we got to Santa was the Christmas tree behind him. Hope was not really favoring Santa that day, so neither was Kennedy. We couldn't even get her on his lap. So we thought we would try again later, maybe once she had seen him a couple more times on TV or in books. We would talked about Santa and how he would bring her special treats if she was a really good girl. Every night in December we would load up in the car and go look at the Christmas lights in our neighborhood and the ones around us. Kennedy would get so excited and say lights, ho ho and frosty. We let her sit in our lap up front and she thoug ht it was so cool. The week before Christmas Kennedy had her Christmas party at school. She attends Carrington Academy at Windemere. She shared special gifts with Ms. Janna, Ms. Sondra and Ms. Kala. Kennedy also has had a special friend join her class. Anna Lane Norton. Anna Lane is the daughter of one of Mommy's sorority sisters from school. Kennedy is about 3 months older than Anna Lane. Anna Lane is so precious and looks so much like her mommy Lisa.The week before Christmas we visited so many fun Holiday places. We rode the pink pig at Lenox and saw lights at Lake Lanier. Mommy thought we would try Santa one more time. We were not really prepared to see Santa (Daddy was still in his sweats from practice) But at least we made it on his lap this time. Christmas eve eve we spent the night at granny and poppy's in Dahlonega and spent time with the Rider side of the family. Aunt Gail and Aunt Kathy were so sweet to KK. Santa even made an early stop at Granny's to leave Kennedy some things in her stocking. We then came home on Christmas eve so santa could visit Kennedy at our house. She must have been a very good girl because Santa was very generous. Kennedy was so cute on Christmas morning when we came down stairs. Her eyes got really big and she made that noise she makes with her mouth when she gets really excited(mmmumm). Kennedy got presents under the tree from Mommy and Daddy including a potty. She has been pottying in the big girl potty at school and on Mommy and Daddy's potty at home. This potty is so adoreable it sings when she tee tee's. She get's so excited and is getting really good. The way she is telling us she has to go, is by grabbing a diaper out. When we see this we take off running to the bathroom. Christmas Day we went to Grandmommy's and Grandddaddy's to spend time with the Day side of the family. Grandmommy and Grandaddy got Kennedy a great rocking chair and cute clothe's. She chased all the big kids around and they were so sweet and kind to her. We are still enjoying time together and trying to fiqure out where we are going to put all the new gifts. It seems as kids get older presents get bigger. We are very fortunate for all the incredible gifts that have been given to us.We thank god every night for Kennedy. (We do Now I lay me with KK at bed time. That is what we grew up on) Kennedy is the best gift that Lee and I have ever gotten. We are so blessed that she is in our lives!
