Kayli's First Christmas



Kayli stuck her head through this gate. We thought it was funny until we almost couldn't get it out.....OUCH! Talk about panic.








Kayli's First Christmas

Our neighbors Ann and Bruce went to the mall and to see some Christmas lights near our area. (Travel mates...remember Ann from the trip?) Kayli truly does LOVE to ride the carousel....she just doesn't look like it. ha



















22 Months....Kayli's First Christmas!




It is hard to believe that on 12-9-05 a Fed-ex package was delivered to our door with Kayli's first pictures. My how time flies! It feels like she has always been a part of our family. It's hard to believe a year has gone past. Kayli is a joy. Last Christmas we were praying for her and thinking about her, wishing she was already with us. This year that reality came true! We truly enjoyed both girls this Christmas. Ariel has enjoyed playing with Kayli as much as Kayli with Ariel. The family went OVERBOARD on giving to the girls. We will have to work on that! ha ha And to think both of their birthdays are right around the corner. (Jan. and Feb.)

We found out on December 22 that Kayli was chosen to be on our adoption agency's calendar for 2007! Kayli's picture will appear on the month of May. She was chosen from over 1100 entries as one of the 13. The month of May is sweet because it represents Mother's Day, my sister's birthday and not only that....my mother-in-law's birthday--Janet. She has never met Kayli, she passed away 4 years ago from cancer but we know she would love her. We miss her dearly and we are honored that Kayli was chosen for this month. This is the picture that was chosen. Kayli took a pretty big fall this summer. Thankfully they touched up the actual picture a bit that is in the calendar.

We are so blessed to have not only 1 beautiful girl but now 2! Thank you Lord for the blessings.

Here's Ariel dressed as her favorite character...Laura Ingalls. Kayli likes to follow what big sister does. Monkey see monkey do....
We had an Native American feast to complete our 4 week study. Kayli enjoyed dressing up too.

I haven't had time to post many pictures. Here are a few! Kayli took a fall on her face this summer so we didn't take as many pictures.

Big sister likes to change Kayli's diapers....even the yucky ones! ha!











I love the rides! I even cried when they were over. Once the man told us to let her ride again since no one else was in line.
