Snow Baby

I finally got Makenna outside after the last time it snowed to get her in her very first snow picture. She didn't like it very much but I think she looks just like the most beautiful snow baby with her pink nose and rosy cheeks.

Frosty the Snowmen

Mark had so much fun playing at his Grandma and Grandpa J's house this past weekend. He and Grandma J made 4 snowmen together...Daddy, Mommy, Mark, and Makenna. He loves the book and the movie "Frosty the snowman" so he knew what everything was supposed to be. He went to the backyard and got stick for the arms. He went next door to the neighbors house to get rocks for their eyes and mouth, and he went inside the house to get a carrot for his nose. He was so proud of it as you can tell. This is also his new "cheesy smile" that he does. As you can also see, they ran out of sticks and improvised with flags. I think it's very patriotic!

All Bundled up and ready to go...

Matthew had the kids this day while I was at work and he bundled Makenna up so he could take her out. I appreciate him taking these pictures as she looks so cute. And her shirt is true about her being a Princess!!! And a spoiled one at that!!!

Makenna 7 Months

Makenna is already 7 months and I just can't belive it! She is desperately trying to crawl. She is constantly on her stomach pushing herself up. She is rocking and can move backwards, but has only taken one step forward so far. She loves to sit up and play and still enjoys watching Mark play too. She is eating baby food three times a day and loves to eat her Gerber stars. She can pick them up all by herself and put them in her mouth. She starts jumping up and down with excitement when she sees them come out. She is still a mommy's girl, but she did just have a great time over the weekend spending the night with her grandma and grandpa J which is a huge step. She just amazes up more everyday and we feel so lucky to have our sweet girl.

Christmas Cuties

Here are pictures of Mark and Makenna from Christmas Eve right before we went to Church. They both sat in the service with us and watched the little kids sing. Mark and Makenna went up to the front for the sermon with the other kids (including Matt and Donny) and listened to Gretchen read a book. We realize now we will have to be 7:00 Church goers instead of the 9 or 11. I will miss the candlelight along with Silent Night, but I will enjoy watching the kids sing.

Christmas Eve with Grandma J...

I know-I'm a little behind on my pictures. Things around here have been crazy busy and I just took all of my pictures off of my camera. There will be probably a bunch of pictures from Christmas and then we can finally get into January and the current day.

We spent Christmas Eve at Craig and Judy's house and the kids had a great time. Makenna and Grandma J had fun playing together all night. We all had a great time!

For the Love of Makenna

Mark and Madison just couldn't stop kissing Makenna and loving on her. It was so cute! And yes, Madison and Makenna are dressed alike. One thing Bethany and I said we would NEVER do, but come on... don't they just look so cute together!?!?!?
