Santa

We took the girls to visit Santa this weekend! It went as expected...Maddie LOVED it, Kenzie not so much:)!!!! We sure have loved visiting this real Santa the past several years!

Kenzie may have been on Santa's lap for 10 seconds...maybe:) 

Merry Christmas

Love this Parker Family

Thanksgiving

With Christmas only 7 days away I figured I had better get caught up on my blog and post about our wonderful Thanksgiving in Sunny St. George. We loved the warm 75 degree weather, time with family and friends, and fun traditions. 

 A little can of whip cream always brings so much happiness:)

 Our tennis fan! Uncle Darin was the best and pushed Kenzie around for us. It was the first time in a while that Scottie and I played a full set with each other!

 See...the world is a better place in Mom's arms

Darin taught Kenzie how to juggle...or make it appear so:)

 I also got play a full set with my nephew Corbin! It was his first one since he has started to learn how to play tennis:)  

 Maddie learned how to blow bubbles!!!

 Our yummy Thanksgiving feast with our amazing family. 

 Fun with cousins at the park 

 A visit with my dear friend Kari. 

 Our girls love each other too

Our Maddies, friends for life as well! 

One of my favorite parts of going to St. George is the car rides. We always write our Christmas newsletter and enjoy the conversations we have. Kenzie isn't the best traveler, but there wasn't any throw up this time:), so that was a major plus! We also listened to some Harry Potter and that was pretty magical

Ok, Christmas can now come!

McKenzie's 13 Month Happenings

We absolutely love the phase Kenzie is at right now!!! She is our little copy cat and will try to mimic anything we ask her to. McKenzie is officially walking (dancing and running a little too) and getting into EVERYTHING. She loves to explore her independence, mobility, and has the funnest personality that is coming out more and more each day. We all love our littlest family member:)

This past month was a very fun one with soooooooooooo many big new firsts!

Peanut Pictures-13 months old

Kenzie now prefers walking to crawling, so I think it's official...we have a walker!
