Snow in Kansas City

It snowed a ton in Kansas City, so we had a white Christmas! It was so beautiful, and it made all of us enjoy being around the fire and hanging out with family just a little bit more!On a walk with Lindsay and Elliot.

Hanging out at the Harms Households

Our first stop on our Christmas trip was at my parents house. My brother, his wife and their two children came down from Wisconsin and stayed there. It was so wonderful to meet Addison, what a quiet little sweetheart! Ethan was hilarious, and so sweet! My brother Andrew hosted a dinner at his house, full of wonderful food. Everyone had such a nice time there! It was a nice time at my parents, except for Jason getting sick! Other than that we all relaxed, ate, ate, ate, played some games, ate, ate and just had a nice time enjoying family!Addison and Lainey checking each other out on Grandma Jane's lap!All dressed warm to head over to Uncle Andrew's!The hosts of a wonderful evening!Paper fight!Cute bows Addison!Ethan's new helicopter!Lainey not digging Kyra's sunglasses...but isn't she cute!Mary, Lainey and KyraGrandma Jane and Grandpa DougThe Dellinger'sKeep her arms full of baby girls and she can't give anyone the finger!Attempting to get a picture of the nieces and nephew!Addison and LaineyI MISSED YOU DADDY!Cute Christmas picture!

The Christmas Tree and Wrapping Paper

The Christmas tree gave us a free babysitter for many hours! She loved looking at all of the lights and ornaments. She also loved eating all of the wrapping paper, even if it was still on the presents!

It was so big we had to move out our kitchen table!Looking cute in her Santa headband!Her favorite ornament on the whole tree!

Pears, Peas, Rice Cereal, Squash and Zucchini

Lainey is definitely a food lover! The only food that she hasn't loved is zucchini, but I didn't think it tasted that good either, so I don't blame her. She will tolerate it as long as we mix it with something a little sweeter. I love making the baby food for her, but more than that I love the expressions she makes while eating!
Zucchini grosses me out!
You know you want to kiss this cute face!
Come on, let me touch the camera, you know I won't get it dirty!
Yummy, there is food on these fingers!

Eating squash for the first time.

Bath Time with Our Rollie-Pollie

Our Little Rollie-Pollie, no longer fits in her baby bathtub, but just isn't stable enough for the tub yet, so in the mean time she is enjoying her baths in the sink! She has a blast grabbing at the water, playing with a couple bath toys and of course THE CUP!

Laughing Lainey!

As you all know Lainey loves Dora, well Dora was the first thing to really make her laugh. The first video is from before Christmas and the second video is from right after Christmas. Enjoy!
