First, it was Christmas at home:
Kaylee was a lot of fun opening gifts.
We mostly got her travel things: doodlepro, stickers, crayons, and coloring book, a book, and a travel hungry hippos game.
Then it was off to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Brian's college roommate got married in Paris. As much as I would have loved to go to the wedding, we opted for the state side reception. It was fun to see some of his college friends. Then that evening we had his big family Christmas. Kaylee got a Mr. Potato head from her Great Grandparents. She loves it.The house we were staying at had a piano. It was very interesting to see her climb her way up the bench and then start playing. I just don't think the other house guests liked it very much at 8a.m.:)
On monday, we took Kaylee sledding. She had a blast even though she couldn't move. She went down with everyone there, but then enjoyed just watching everyone else go down the hill.
Brian's way of getting her back up the hill. Unfortunately he went down on a sled that did not have a striing on it to pull her back up:)
Sorry for the blurry picture, it was in motion.
Lots of pineapple to be eaten. My brother-in-law took this picture. I love those eyes.
I love this next picture just for the reflection off the counter.
Then it was on to Bloomington, IN to meet back up with Brian's family.

Slam dunking!!!

We opened up presents on Christmas Eve.
I may just let you wonder about this one:)
Brian had an axe on his Christmas list, but hs brother could not find the one he wanted. So they wrapped up a shower head and made the tip part out of card board and he opened that. It was pretty good.
All in all, it was a great Christmas. We did a few more Advent activities. We gave everyone life savers to symbolize that Jesus came to "seek and save the lost." I would have also liked to have eaten by candleight one night and Brian made the suggestions to give everyone candy canes to symbolize the shepherds and their staffs. Pretty creative:)
