Kennedy’s Christmas List.

I’m not sure if you remember but last year Kennedy asked for mostly “boy” Christmas presents: bakugan, star wars legos, transformers, a baseball bat… Well, this year her list looks like this:

my little pet soep (shop)
pancakes
webkin
Lotso

I asked her what she meant by “pancakes” and she said, “I want you to make me some pancakes!” 🙂
I really like her a lot.

My Littlest One.

She’s almost 1. I can hardly believe it. I know people say it all the time: “It goes fast,”  or “enjoy it” or “don’t blink.”  But you really can’t understand those words until you have little ones of your own. She’s going to be 1. How did this year manage to slip by so quickly? So quietly?  I know I was busy. I know I have a lot going on. I know having 5 kids is a lot to manage, but really?  One whole year? Didn’t we JUST decorate the Christmas tree in 2009? Didn’t I JUST check into the hospital to have this sweet one?

She has this concerned look on her face a lot. I really like it so I had to try & capture it. Did I get it? Can you tell she’s concerned?  She’s concerned for the lost. She wants to make sure you’re saved. Are you? If not- she wants to know why. And she’ll have a LOT to tell you in a few years! ♥

Melinda Cassol - She is a doll! Can’t believe mine is 1 year too!

Hallie - I love that face, seriously! Let her know I’m saved. Chase, not yet, but on his way!

Hallie.

I got to spend a little time with this nice girl tonight. It was fun- of course. You can’t really be with Hallie and not have fun. Seriously. If you don’t know her- you should GET to know her. She’s the nicest girl I know – sorry to all the other girls, but really… she wins.    On a side note:  I sure wish I would’ve remembered to pull my bangs down for this photo.  My forehead is like 10 inches tall!! 🙂

One more thing to note:  My little girl turned 6 years old today 🙁  More to come on that subject.   Next order of business: I’ve changed a few photos on my blog header (at the top). You’re welcome. I’m sure you’re sick of the same old images over & over & over.  Well… now you don’t have to lose sleep over it any more.
