The Big ONE!

Today is Kylee's 1st birthday!! I can't believe it's been a year already! Our little princess is growing up so fast. For her birthday, I made her old playzone into a ball pit. She loved it! The first time I put her in, she walked in circles kicking the balls around and repeating "baaaaall, baaaaall, baaaaall". Super cute! Daddy also hung her swing up in our bedroom door way. She thought that was super fun and couldn't stop giggling.

It's a tradition in the Jones family to get together for a family dinner whenever it's someones birthday; so, this evening we went to grandma's for dinner. Grandma made Kylee all of her favorites: chicken (her own Cornish game hen!), chicken rice-a-roni, and green beans. Yum! We are waiting until her party this Saturday to do the big cake splash. So instead of cake, grandma made Kylee a special birthday cookie. Kylee decided her big birthday cookie was too pretty to eat. Instead she opted for 2 small cookies, one for each hand.

After dinner Kylee got to open her birthday presents from her grandma, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Steven, and great Aunt Patty.

Mommy's Little Comedian

Not only is Kylee mommy and daddy's little princess, she's our own personal jester. This evening she put on quite the show when stole daddy's hat.

Kylee's 1st Christmas

Kylee's first Christmas was a busy one. We spent Christmas Eve at grandma's house eating dinner, opening presents, and spending time with family. Christmas morning Kylee opened and played with some new toys from Santa. Then daddy made her a special Christmas breakfast (her 1st taste of scrambled eggs). After her nap, we headed to grandpa's house for dinner and presents, then to her great aunt Debbies for more food and presents, and finally to great grandma Daisy's. Kylee made out like a bandit, and despite the chaos and a little tummy trouble, seemed to have a great 1st Christmas. Here a few pictures of Kylee with some of her new toys.
