Merry Christmas and a Winter "one"derland

Merry Christmas!!

ha ha judging by this picture you'd think our Christmas was a little overwhelming... really it was pretty low key!Here is KC at grandma sue's on christmas day.. she is such a happy smiley baby- we really lucked out..
don't be fooled by this picture.. she isn't quite walking.. but I can only imagine how cute (and crazy) it will be once she is!!
Not really sure where she gets it but this little munchkin is a chocoholic... this time she found a box of chocolates our neighbors brought us, opened it by herself, and before we noticed, she had pretty much eaten an entire dark chocolate truffle.. and left little chocolate handprints all over our couch! ha ha

Here's our super model showing off her christmas pjs.. I'm not gonna lie- she's got quite the pose

and I just realized I uploaded her birthday pictures backwards..

Here's our adorable (and very, very sick) birthday girl..

She wouldn't even let a severe case of croup stop her from some birthday cake.

She just couldn't eat it all due to her inability to breathe :( Really when I took KC to the dr. the day after her party he put her on oral steroids and said that KC had one of the worst cases of croup he'd seen..

My aunt gave her this GINORMOUS lion pillow pet.. that thing is soo cozy.. as KC is demonstrating!

Just a cute pic! True to her "winter" theme.. KC had her snowflake skirt on!!

We gave her a baby for her birthday, I wish she gave her momma kisses like she does the baby.

And here's just a little of our decorations.. we had "snowballs" hanging from the ceiling.. snowflake plates and table cloths.. we served Chili and broccoli cheese soup.

KC and mommy opening presents

and most important.. instead of a big cake we all enjoyed these snowmen mini-cakes..

They were the perfect size for individual munching!!

Some things about KC:

she is 29 inches long- 50%

weighs 18 lbs 7 oz.- 10%

she LOVES (i mean like absolutely adores) her daddy

she can (but not always does) say:

momma

dadda

lilah

up

she points at and wants everything

loves chocolate and all "treats"

I can honestly say that KC is just a dream baby.. we joke that we may never have another child because they are sure to be the opposite of KC, which could be scary. We feel so blessed to have her in our lives. She is our sunshine and lights up every moment of our lives.

It must be love..

So if you know me at all you know that I love to read.. anything and everything from magazines to scriptures, fiction/non-fiction, and if really want to know a dirty little secret... I'm a sucker for a good, steamy romance novel!! Well I may have hinted (not-so subtly) that I thought a Nook would be super handy for a birthday present. I am so lucky that I happen to have the best husband in the world because he conspired with my sisters to get me a Nook and not just any Nook the new color.. wi-fi.. newest and greatest Nook.. Man- I love him.. And as if I didn't think he was a big enough stud.. he bought me a cover in my favorite color... Purple!!

So just to state one more time for the record.. I am thrilled, over-joyed, ecstatic about my birthday gift.. it makes me forget that I am one year closer to the big 3-0.. Yikes!

One birthday down.. one more to go this week.. next week I'll post pictures of my sweet KC's

Winter "one"-derland birthday party..
