Santa Baby!

Keira had her school Christmas program Friday evening! It was interesting! I couldn't leave her side until it was their turn to go in the gym......she didn't sing a word and mostly stared around and then took her hat off and started swinging it around!!! She was so cute though!!

Keira's new friends Maggie and Eli!!! Check out her and Santa having some kind of moment! haha!

She also had her first ever Santa encounter! She waited her turn and got up on his lap. Keep a close eye on her mouth! She does not stop talking almost the whole time! No clue what she was saying either! haha!! I just crack up every time I watch this and am glad we got it on video!! I told her to give Santa a hug near the end after she received her gift and she shook her head no and jumped off! haha!!

Merry Christmas!!!

The Year of 3!

This is the year of 3! I turned 33 in August....Keira 3 in December. What's next? Should I play the lottery or something? hehe!! We had a great birthday weekend!!

REWIND. Check out last year's bash!!

This was Friday, Dec 11th - her birthday. She loved her new cartoon Grinch movie and her princess tent Grandma got her!!

We got up Saturday morning and got our Christmas tree!

We had another party!!

The pic on the bottom right is 4 generations! My Dad, Me, my Grandfather and Keira!

Pappy and Robyn got her the cutest new tutu and shirt!! Granny contributed the Barbie guitar! eek!

Cool plate kit I got her. She loved painting it! This will be a great keepsake!!

Now -- on to Christmas! Santa needs to get busy!! haha!!

Approaching 3.

Keira will be the big "3" tomorrow!! I can't believe it is already here. I wouldn't change a thing either! (other than earlier bedtimes! haha!)

She has had some interesting outfits this week:

Nutcracker Tryouts? X Games?

Hot Mess!

Hey - it was game day today with or without Randel El. haha! She still managed to get a tutu in there...Gotta love her!!

I can't wait to see what she chooses to wear in the morning for her Birthday party @ school!!

Nighty Night!!

Josie's Wedding!

Last Christmas my cousin Josie asked us if Keira would be the flower girl in her wedding!! Of course I was honored for the invitation and knew Keira would love it!! Well, that time quickly approached and November 28th came fast!!

These pics are from the rehearsal dinner. Josie got Keira some cute gifts which included, of course, SHOES!! She absolutely loved them!! (no brainer!)

The wedding was so beautiful! My cousin Josie looked absolutely stunning and was a gorgeous bride!!! I missed Keira going down the aisle as I was waiting outside the doors until her turn but everyone said she was cute......as soon as she saw Darin they said she took off toward him!! hehe! The reception was such a great party!!

Keira was her usual self! She was born to dance, man! She also enjoyed asking everybody w/high heels on if she could wear them!! She had so much FUN!!! I can't wait to see the pictures the photographer took!!

We enjoyed brunch Sunday @ my Aunt Carol's! Keira loves cousin Josie and also likes her new husband John a lot!! We had a fabulous weekend!!

I will post the pictures the photographer took once we get them! I know she got some GREAT ones!!

Here Comes December!!

I can't believe tomorrow is December 1st! It feels like fall just blew by! Literally!! We have had a BUSY few weeks! Here is what we've been up to:

This is what happens when Daddy is watching Keira! haha! I came home to this several weeks ago. She had the lipstick broke off out of the tube...

Next Up: Visit from my best friend Robyn and her new addition, Alex! He is sooooo CUTE! We had a great time! I am already looking forward to her Christmas visit!!!

We hit up the Christmas parade and were a few of the 50,000 that attended! It was pretty good! Keira loved it! She waved to Santa and her highlights of the night were seeing The Grinch and Shrek....that is all she talked about it!! haha!

Robyn and her boys, Alex and Eric.

We also squeezed in New Moon - which was AWESOME! We already can't wait for Eclipse to come out!! There is nothing like a best friend! I sure have a great one!!

Then came Thanksgiving! I cooked my first turkey......I brined it all night in a special concoction! haha! Only mistake --- I left the bag of goodies in the turkey! Yum! hehe! My mom and brother came out for early dinner then we headed to my dad's house for more family fun!

And if that wasn't enough.....Keira was the flower girl in my cousin Josie's wedding Saturday! Coming up!

So You Think She Can Dance??

We love watching So You Think You Can Dance!

And so does Keira...She is a riot!!

Happy Halloween!

Keira wore the ladybug getup (complete w/the gladiator sandals!) to her daycare party.

We had our trick-or-treating Thursday. This is the outfit Keira chose! She fixed her own hair and applied her own makeup. haha! It was a real crowd pleaser. This was her first time ever trick-or-treating so she was a little overwhelmed! She did awesome though! The only problem was she wanted to pick her own treat out of the givers bowl! She is a hoot!

This was last night. She REALLY has a thing for eye shadow! I guess @ least this time it wasn't black! We are making progress! haha!

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!!!

Fall Fun!

I have to admit Fall might be my favorite season! The colors are absolutely beautiful @ our house. The crisp air. Pumpkins. Apple butter. Leaves. Pecan bars. Cider. Need I go on??

Keira loves makeup. Her favorite is black eye shadow!

Help me now, please.

She loves finger painting--more like hand painting!

She loves the "school" bus! She was sick for about a week and had not been able to play outside. Darin painted the bus during that time. The first thing she said when we got out there was -"Daddy painted the school bus!" She had a blast as usual playing around in it. She drove me around to many places! Vroom, Vroom!! hehe!

I have some good videos I will get up soon!

Enjoy the last week of October!

Carve it Up!

We carved our pumpkin last night! Keira dressed appropriately for the occasion. I swear she went and put this outfit on. No joke. Who knows what she will decide on for halloween since costumes are in her normal lineup. haha!!

After Darin got the top off she just looked in there and I think she was kind of grossed out! haha! She made me take a handful out first and then she went for it! It was fun! I made pumpkin seeds coated in butter/salt/chili powder. They are good!

Mr. Jack-O-Lantern!!

Fashion Flashback!!

2009 so far has been a whirlwind of fashion for my little Keira!! haha!! As I was looking through the pictures for this collage I really was laughing out loud (lol)!!!! It was hard to choose from - for real!

She sure is one of a kind!
