Holiday Redux

Before 2013 clicks over to 2014, it seemed time to recap our final special memories of the Holiday season.  Kyle enjoyed the holiday gathering, especially the unlimited cookies and snacks.  Gifts were entertaining with a constant "open it" after everyone.  It was clear she did not entirely get the concept but many things were her "favorite."  She definitely was spoiled and the love from all her family was amazing.  Plus Santa brought a few surprises, and even left some cookies, which was a definite highlight!

Visiting St. Nick to tell him "reindeer toys."

So excited for a new wheelbarrow.  Can't wait to help out this summer!

Thrilled he left a few behind, which were immediately ate!

As the Snow Falls

Last week, we received what would be considered a dusting of snow in Iowa; however, in these parts, it's snowpocalypse.  Kyle was highly suspicious and not extremely thrilled, so no snowmen were made.  Luckily, it melted quickly, and we headed out that evening to visit the Garden d' Lights.  This was definitely more in Kyle's favor, and she loved identifying the animals.

By far her favorite - Frosty the Snowman!

Peek-a-Boo!

A few snapshots from our Fall photo shoot.  As always, Kyle stole the show!

New Digs

In preparation for upcoming guests, we made some changes at the house.  This meant a new bedroom for Kyle.  I think we can all agree she was pretty excited and will definitely be cozy in her new space.  Although it's a bit hard to see her moving into a big girl bed.
