All Dressed Up to See Santa!

On Friday we took Keslin to the Lloyd Center for her first visit with Santa Clause. She looked so cute all dressed up in her little red christmas dress! In my family it was always a tradition to go and get our picture taken with Santa every year....I hated it back then, but now it is fun being able to look back at all of the pictures that are on display at my moms and grandmas house each year. I was pleasantly surprised at how well Keslin did, I thought she was going to scream for sure but she didn't cry for quite a while, she just sort of stared at him for about thirty seconds and then the tears started to flow!

time for an update!

It's been quite some time since I have updated our blog! Aaron has been using our laptop for work for the past couple of months and that is where I always download my pictures! Keslin is officially nine months old, can you believe it? I can't believe it's almost Christmas....only nine more days! Christmas is just so much more joyful when you have kids, it makes you remember the true spirit of Christmas when you are reminded of what it is like to view christmas through a childs eye. Obviously our little one isn't too intune with whats happeningas far as the holidays go, but I know on Christmas morning she is going to love all of the pretty packages and just "go for it" trying to rip all of the bows off...I'm sure that will be more intriguing than the actual gifts themselves. It is so amazing what babies are aware of at only at nine months of age, Keslin never ceases to amaze us each and every day! She loves books, if you put one in front of you she will just sit there and stare at the pictures for 20 minutes, it's a good time saver to get things done around the house:0) She is at that stage where everything goes in the mouth, including her foot! She has been sucking on her toes so much lately I swear they have started to temporarily wrinkle due to the excessive slobber, it's her best teether yet! Oh, and most of all, her favorite game is "patty cake", I find myself doing it over and over and over again....she has learned through repetition when to start clapping her hands on cue, it is sooooo cute! She is just so precious, we are enjoying each and every moment!!
