Holiday Helper

Kellen is very helpful in the kitchen. His favorite things to do are making pizza, mixing cookie dough and washing dishes. Maybe I should rephrase that last part. When Kellen attempts to wash the dishes it is typically the floor that gets washed instead.

Christmas

Building a snowman with daddy at Oma and Opa's

Having fun at Oma and Opa's house

Playing with my new train table from Gamma and Papa. It took mommy and daddy 4 hours to put together.

Helping Aunt tootie open her big present.

He was up VERY early at Gamma and Papa's house, he needed a break.

Hmmmm, what could be in here?

WHAT???? My truck came with a baby in the back!

Checking out the new transportation stamps with Daddy.

Christmas Eve morning at our house :)

Kellen has a great 2nd Christmas. He is such a lucky duck. He was able to spend time with so many family members. Daddy was off for three days...YIPPEE! It was nice to all be together. We visited Mama Jeane's, Gamma and Papa's and Oma and Opa's house. Whew, it was a lot of traveling but very very very worth it.

Little Gym

Getting his stamps at the end of class

Kellen has been taking a class at the Little Gym for the past 18 weeks. He loves going to the gym. His gross motor development has really taking off. When we first began Kellen was not strong enough to hang from the bar by himself. Now he is swinging around like a little monkey. It is a nice time for Kellen to be around kiddos his own age, he laughs with them and mimics their actions. It is also a special time for Kellen to be with mommy and daddy too :)

Announcement

Kellen made a special announcement over Thanksgiving.........He is going to be a BIG brother. Kellen has a sweet baby sister due June 8th.

Snowman

You would have thought Kellen was in a world filled with snow cones, he could not resist the fluffy white snow. Luckily the snow was fresh :)

Snuggling with his Mama Jeane. Kellen has affectionately begun to call Grandma Jeane by this sweet name :)

Trick or Treating

Despite Kellen's fever we hit up a few houses for trick or treating. He did a great job saying "trick or treat" and "thank you." Kellen's Halloween costume was made for his mommy when she was two. It was pretty special that he wore it also :)
