Christmas with the Thurman’s and Bradburn’s December 29, 2010

Thatcher, Brenton, and McKinley

We had a wonderful time.  The boys are so excited when McKinley comes that they overwhelm her and it takes them about 30 minutes to get used to one another.  Then, they have a wonderful time together.  McKinley loved all the different toys they had – especially the GeoTracks Train.

What a cute smile

Are we done with pictures yet?

McKinley is the winner! Not if Brenton has anything to do with it.

 

Christmas at the Stacy’s December 29, 2010

Rocky - dressed up for Christmas

Christmas at the Stacy’s would not be the same without Rocky – Papa is very good at making him look real and McKinley believes he is.  She wants to pet him and see him but when he gets up close – she is not so sure.  We had a great time and by the end, McKinley petted his tail and gave him a good-bye hug (her lean in hug – no arms)

Thanking Nonnie

Hugging Papa

She loved ALL her presents - Elmo from Aunt "Kaki" and the singing cat from Great Uncle Tim

We are still having a “Meowy Christmas”! – Thanks Tim!

 

The Pink Pig – Our Second Annual Trip December 29, 2010

Mommy and McKinley at the Pink Pig

Daddy got to ride this year

We took McKinley to ride the Pink Pig at Macy’s again this year.  She was much more aware!  It was not a long wait and she did great!  We had fun.  She looked a little concerned during the ride but that is all she talked about that night.  She would say “pig” “ride”.  She wanted to watched the video on Daddy’s phone over and over.

 

Hey! It’s Christmas Time! December 29, 2010

McKinley loved the Christmas tree - She also has found a new favorite...taking her arm out of her shirt

Aunt Candace (a.k.a. Aunt Kaki as McKinley calls her) brought over a Gingerbread house

McKinley liked decorating it - she tried the icing

She didn't love the icing but loved looking at her final creation!

The only way we could get a cute picture of McKinley was to use Talking Tom (a cat app. on Andy's phone) She was very giggly and loves giving the cat milk

McKinley was a sheep in her school's Christmas program - Doesn't she look so cute!

She was supposed to sit in front of the manger with her teachers and the rest of her class. Instead, she made a beeline to Mommy and sat with her the whole program. We got this cute picture of her sheep tail after.

My pretty Christmas dress

Well as you can see, the blog has been put last on my to do list.  I am finally getting some pictures up.  Sorry it has taken so long.  Maybe Andy can get some video up soon.  We have had a busy year and can’t wait to see what 2011 holds for us.

Santa wasn't so fun this year

As you can see - there was no hope for an individual picture with Santa
