Christmas Party

So we went to Brett's work's Christmas party out on a huge boat. It was a lot of fun. Also a few of our friends from church also work there so we had a good time.

Sitting Up

Kaiya is doing such a good job sitting up. I can now have her sit and play with toys. It's so fun to see her reach these new milestones.

Mirror

Kaiya loves to check herself out in the mirror.

Christmas Shopping

I've almost got all my Christmas shopping done. We are doing it pretty simple this year though. Our main present is our trip to Utah. Since that pretty much took all of our money. But here is a picture of Kaiya all bundled up and ready to get her shop on.

Family Home Evening

Last night for Family home evening we went and got a "Christmas Tree" It's actually kind of a small fern that still planted. But since we will be in Utah this year for Christmas we didn't want to spend the money for a big tree. This one we can put out on our patio all year round. We also made a ginger bread house and watched the movie Hancock. It was so much fun just having some family time just the 3 of us.

Diaper Time

Kaiya loves Diaper time! She cries every time we have to put clothes back on her.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. We went to Brett's parents house from Wednesday night until Saturday night. It was nice to get away from the daily grind. All the food was great and the company was even better. That night a few of Brett's sisters and Mom got in the Hot tub. Brett and I forgot our Swim suits but Kaiya got a chance to enjoy it with her Aunt Karie. Kaiya had fun watching her cousins run around and play. Also her Cousin Shelby taking good care of her while Mom and Dad ran to the store. It was a great day and I am so Thankful for spending time with family.

Kaiya meets the Dogs

Well since we didn't really have room at our apartment for Simon he's been living at Brett's parents. Brett's other dog is there Sage and they have a big back yard. Well when we were up there for Thanksgiving we decided to see how Kaiya did with the dogs. She seemed okay, pretty interested but didn't like when they got to close to her face.

Pre Holiday Madness

Well I could go on and on about what a crazy day last Wednesday was, but I rather not relive it. So I will just make this brief. I had two sick babies crying and fussying all day. Well thats saying it lightly, Kaiya was screaming. She threw up all over her crib, all over me, poor thing. all this was going on while I was making 3 well should have been 4 pies and 2 cheese balls. I say should of been 4 because in the middle of all the madness I was trying to put a pumpkin pie in the oven and dropped it all over my floor and oven. I had made an extra pumpkin pie just for home, which I had already taken a slice out of to try, because I was trying a new recipe I wanted to make sure it was okay before making one to take to my in laws. Well it was good :) and I dropped the second one, so I had to take a pie missing a slice with me. Thank goodness my Apple and Cherry pie turned out, that I had something else to take. OH and my cheese balls turned out sooo yummy!! I will have to make those again :)

Girls Night out

So I got my first girls night out since I had Kaiya. Thursday night a bunch of friends were going to the Mid night showing of Twilight. I had told Brett I would wait to go with him since he loves to go to the movie theater and I always turn him down. But after a day of being thrown up on by Kaiya. Plus the little girl I watch has had an ear ache. So basically a week of sick babies I needed to get out. Brett said he didn't really care to see it. So last minute I called up the Girls and got me a ticket. It was so nice to get out. I felt a little Nerdy being at a midnight showing with a bunch of teenage girls all over posters of Edward. But it was a pretty good movie ( not nearly as good as the book). Plus I got out. I was very happy though when I got home at 3 in the morning to get to crawl in bed with my own Edward and not a picture of me against a poster haha. I wasn't to happy when Kaiya got up at 6 only 3 hours later :(. So I saw this Twilight spoof on my niece Anneka's blog and I thought it was so funny I decided to add it here.
I will put the original and then the spoof so you can see just how funny it is.

My poor little Kaiya

My poor Kaiya sleeping on the Dr table

Kaiya is Sick :(. This is her first time. She has been blowing out and through diapers right and left the last couple of days. Has warn have of her wardrobe in the process too. But this morning I decided its finally time to take her in when she threw up all over, and I mean a lot. I think more then she actually drank. It was so sad. After she looked up at me and smile. My sweet little girl. Even through the last few days she hasn't been cranky about it. She just smiles and laughs as Mommy cleans her up. But she did cuddle up with me this morning after I got her cleaned and fell right back asleep. So I hope its just a little bug and nothing to big.

Friends

So it had been a little bit since Brett and I had a game night. So last minute we decided to call some friends and through one together. I made some Chocolate Hazelnut Popcorn, Apple Cinnamon muffins and pulled out the games. We had a lot of fun, and a nice escape to the recent stress on my mind. Although our apartment is a little small for it all the kids seem to have fun playing allowing us to enjoy our time together. I realized I don't have many pictures of my friends out here and needed to get some. Brett and I have been so lucky to find some awesome couples to hang out with here in Wilmington.

a lot of the pictures turned out blurry ( I need a better camera). So these are the only pictures I ended up with.
