Preschool Christmas Program...



Our handsome little boy had his preschool Christmas program that Kenna and I were able to go to.  Luckily he wasn't quite as obnoxious as he was for his Halloween program...probably because he was super tired, he seemed to be yawning half the time!  He did good though and it was fun to watch him.  His teacher is so cute with Bridger and his entire class!

Kenna's birthday party...



















One of Kenna's loves lately is Elmo...she wants to watch it on the computer all the time.  When Elmo's song comes on, she starts singing and bouncing up and down, thus the Elmo themed party.  I had a lot of fun making her Elmo cake and think it turned out pretty good (and it wasn't as hard as some cakes I've made for Bridger)...Kenna especially loved it!  We had all of our family come over that were able to.  We had dinner for everyone...homemade mac and cheese...Kenna's favorite!  She got a lot of fun gifts from everyone, including an Elmo doll, Elmo figurines, magnetic dress up dolls, books, clothes and more...she is definitely loved! 

Kenna is 2...








She was excited to help me make breakfast!
Okay, I know she's been 2 since December...but still, I can't believe my darling little girl is 2!  She is such a fun, spunky  firecracker!  She knows how to get what she wants (which we are working on).  She can be completely messy, but also so very girly!  She loves having her toe nails painted, wearing hairbows, bracelets, and all the fun girly things.  She likes to help pick out what she wears every day.  She adores her brother, even though they have a love/hate relationship.  We love our sweet little Kenna...aka Pinkers (which is all she wants to be called lately)!
    For her birthday, we gave her a doll(which I am in love with, it's darling and not at all creepy if you know what I mean).  Bridger gave her a baby feeding set.  She has been in love with that baby since she opened it.  Her entire birthday she was constantly feeding her baby...so cute!  She also got some clothes and a Pinkalicious book, one of her favorites too!  We also had an Elmo party for her...I'll post about that next.  We love you sweet little Kenna!

Temple Square Lights...





We had a great time visiting beautiful Temple Square to see the gorgeous lights and Christmas displays.  Whitney and Dani came along with us, so that made it even more fun!  We rode Trax to Temple Square...the kids loved it!  It worked out pretty nice...takes a bit longer, but nice not having to find parking!  The weather wasn't too cold, and the kids were great! After enjoying the lights, we made our way back to our car and then went to Chick-Fil-A and had a peppermint chocolate shake...delish...and I highly reccomend it if they have it again next Christmas season!  Oh how I love all the fun Christmas festivities (even though I am typing this in April...ha ha ha).

Bridger's Thanksgiving...


Bridger had a Thanksgiving Feast at preschool.  A week before the feast, his teacher asked each of the kids what they wanted to bring for the feast...they chose their favorite and that's what they bring.  Some of the kids chose things like chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, peanut butter and jelly...all those usual kid foods, not Bridger though!  He chose green beans and mandarin oranges...really, green beans?!  What kid chooses that...but that's what he said.  So, the day of I sent in a bag of steamable green beans...weird.  I was able to go over and see him during some of the feast and the funny thing is, I don't even think he ate a single green bean!  Oh my, that kid is a crack up!  I also got to watch story time and a game where they have to find sight words.  He's got a pretty good memory, so his teacher gives him the hardest words and he finds them.  She said a lot of times when they play this game, the other kids will ask Bridger for help with finding their words.  Love his little mind!  He's got a lot of personality, that's for sure!
