Baby Christmas Dress-up

Holiday time is a fun time for mommies of little girls.  There are so many cute things, and thankfully, Braska has a good stash to share with KiKi.  I can’t find the old pics right now of Braska in this, but I hope to….someday. Or never.  We’ll see.

And this one was an outfit that says “Baby’s first Christmas” on it that we picked up a few months ago at the resale shop we love.

There’s one more, but I haven’t managed to get  a picture yet.  I’ll try to get to that soon since time’s running out, and it’s not cool to have a kid in “Christmas wear” post Christmas!

Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree

KiKi got to participate in the photo shoot of cute p-jammies yesterday that Braska and Jack had.  She didn’t want to be involved as much as we had hoped, but that’s ok. 

Toward the end, she sat in the chair and decided that was kind of fun.
 

As we put the hat on her, she had a similar face, but it was leaning toward the unhappy side, ending up in pure torture, if you ask her. (But don’t miss Jack’s face on the left side of the pic below.  Priceless!)

1st Halloween

Wow, almost a month since I posted. That’s ridiculous! And I’ve got so much I’d like to document and keep track of… I just can’t get things together. 

For now, I wanted to group a few shots from the last couple weeks related to the holiday.  Rach got Kinlee this outfit, and it was almost too small, even though it should be too big.  This kid… she’s so long!  And after she fussed through the picture time, I realized her shoes weren’t fitting right anymore.  Oops! They went away to the “grown out of” bin.

These were more pleasant, though she slowly crumpled to the floor.  I don’t know what this is supposed to be, some little monster I guess. It was cute, from Children’s Place, and also a gift.

A week early, we went to the Trunk or Treat at Grandma C and PaPaw’s church, and the girls had a very good time. 

On the 31st, we dressed again and went to our church’s festival. It was a very big deal, but mostly for kids who were a bit more mobile than our girls, so we said hi to some friends and then went to Jack’s for pictures of Jack and Braska together.  Of course, KiKi is never far behind her sister. Like a little shadow…

Catch-up: 1st Easter

Surprise, surprise. I'm way behind. I feel horrible that Kinlee's blog suffers most, so I'm going to work on it as much as possible this weekend to get some posts ready to go and scheduled for the next week.

I know there are a few of you who check in on her, and I appreciate that ALOT! But be sure to leave a comment here or there, let us know you've visited sometimes! When we print this for Kinlee one day, I don't know how I'll explain her sister being so much more popular! Ha!

For now, we'll start with Easter, yeah it's weeks behind us now, but I still want to document it, since this is the closest I'll get to a baby book for a while.

Rachel got this dress for her when we were out shopping a couple days before. I realized I had not thought to have an official Easter dress, and that was unacceptable. Plus Children's Place had a GREAT sale. Good combination!

We were in Champaign for Easter, visiting our friends Karen and Randy and their cuties Maddy and Grace, as they were moving (they've moved by now) back to MN to start being "real" adults with a "real" job. Congrats Randy! Sunday after church we drove up to Rantoul to see Miss Martha at the new El Toro there. R K M and G were wonderful enough to come along and eat with us. They share our Toro love. I love this pic of Karen, Grace, and KiKi.

This is our very special Miss Martha meeting Kinlee for the first time.

As Easters go, it was a very nice one to start her many Easter memories.
