Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! We have enjoyed a quiet Christmas in Colorado this year. My parents spent Christmas in Kansas with my cousins and Great Grandma. That left Chad and I with Dathan and Kacy in their house for the week.

Mady and Dathan opening Santa presents.

Unfortunately we have only had a dusting of snow since we have been here, but luckily there is this pile of snow (basically a pile of ice) left out in front of my parent's house for Dathan to play on. He would climb to the top and then slide down on his bottom. I can't wait to take him sledding this winter.

Mady and Kacy at church Christmas eve. Mady had a speaking part in the children's service and did a fantastic job! She is such a good cousin and takes wonderful care of our two little ones!

4 months and Holiday fun

Kacy is 4 months old today! She is our little Cabbage Patch doll with her chubby cheeks and extra "fluff" around her belly and thighs.

Dathan eating candy that he got at the Light Parade in Ruidoso. He LOVES candy!!!

We gave Kacy her first bites of yummy rice cereal a couple of days ago. She seemed to like it. Dathan wanted to try it too, but after one bite he was no longer interested.

Whenever Kacy is playing on the floor Dathan is right next to her. Today he grabbed her hand and said "walk" as he was trying to pull her up by one arm to stand up. Dathan has begun saying "that" when he wants to know what something is. I know the "why" questions are soon to follow. His vocabulary and things that he says constantly amaze Chad and I. There does not seem to be much that Dathan cannot say these days or express through words. He loves to dance around the house, play chase, tackle Moose, play with trucks & trains, watch the movie "Cars", and compete for attention with Kacy=) He has his moments of showing his 2 year old age, but for the most part he is so much fun.
