Kilee's 2-Year-Old Birthday Celebration

This past week, we had some family friends over and celebrated Kilee's birthday. We didn't do a big party because it is very hard to coordinate so close to Christmas. Kilee didn't know the difference! We had an Elmo theme. Kilee had so much fun playing, opening gifts and eating Elmo cake. We can't believe she's nearly 2! Thank you God for our little Kilee. She is such a precious gift!

Opening presents!

"Nummy!" -Kilee

Kilee and Ellie were so tired after all of the party activities and cake that they went back to Kilee's room. We noticed they had been gone for a couple of minutes and we went back and this is what we saw! They were ready to go to sleep -- too cute!

Dress Up and Baby Dolls

Even though she occasionally dons deer-hunting camo (see previous post), Kilee Anne is most certainly all girl. Here lately she has gotten a lot of enjoyment from dressing up and playing "mommy" to her baby dolls. Here are a few pictures of some of these girly moments!

Kilee's outfit for helping me rake leaves: Coat, hat, red turtleneck, green striped pants,
red dress shoes, purple tutu.

She loves that purple tutu!

Coveralls

Kilee has officially transitioned into a deer hunter. Thanks to our dear friends the Melbers, she now has a pair of camo coveralls to wear in the woods with her daddy! Is she not adorable? Thanks, Melbers!

Making Way for Baby

Here lately, we've been talking a lot about the baby that's coming, reading "big sister" books to Kilee and talking about what little babies do. Today, we were arranging the new baby's nursery and putting the new bedding (thanks, mom!) on the crib so we could see it. Kilee was a little curious about what was going on. I told her that the crib was ready for when God gave us the new baby. Then, she said "Up, mommy!" I put her in the crib. The following pictures explain what she did. I can't tell if she wants to be "the baby" again from these pics or if she's just excited about a baby. Either way, these pictures are funny and cute!

The crib is set up really high now. She's kneeling in this picture.

Pretending to be asleep in the crib!

She was very careful putting the baby to bed. So cute!

He Has Not Left Us As Orphans

This video was originally posted on Youtube by a 15-year-old. It is set to a powerful song by Avalon that conveys the truth that there are no orphans of God. If you have a relationship with Christ, you are no longer a spiritual orphan seperated from your Heavenly Father. He has adopted you into his family through the blood of His son, Jesus Christ. This video really challenges me. As the church, adopted sons and daughters of God, we are uniquely gifted to share the love of Christ with the orphan. We can share our resources, our hearts and if we are called to adopt, our lives. Would God have you adopt a child in the US or abroad? Would you be willing to sponsor an orphan child in the US or abroad? Pray about how God might use you in the life of an orphan child.

Trick or Treat!

Our little Elmo had a great time tonight! We really enjoyed getting to hang out with our neighbors and all of the little children really enjoyed Kilee's costume. Some of them really thought she was Elmo! Isn't she cute?

Carving the Pumpkin

Hello! Here are some recent pictures and video of us carving the pumpkin together. We had such a great time. Kilee cracked us up -- she was so cute!

Don't worry. She did fall at the end of this video, but she's fine.

Picking "Munkins"

Last weekend, we went to the pumpkin patch to pick our Halloween pumpkin with our wonderful friends the Lawrences and their little girl, Ellie. We had a great time and it was a gorgeous day. Kilee was very excited to be picking a "munkin" as she calls it. It was a great family day!

Trying to touch both pumpkins at once!

I LOVE this picture!

Got it!

A very tired Kilee and me!

Obsessed with Wearing Boots

So Kilee has a new favorite wardrobe item. I found some rubber boots at a consignment sale a couple of months ago so Kilee could splash in puddles when it rains. Since we have had no rain until recently, I have just introduced them to her. Needless to say, Kilee doesn't think that rain or puddles are necessary to make her latest fashion statement. She dons the boots as often as she can get her hands on them! Here are a few pictures of our little fashion diva. :o)

Sly smile

This is darling, I think.

Super cool.

Doing her "v-sit" from gymnastics class! I think she's pretty good!

Kilee Sings

Scott and I were in the living room watching Law & Order after dinner for some much-needed "Thursday night veg-out time", when Kilee decided to sing us some of her newest material. I'm not sure exactly what it is she's singing, but it includes choreography as well! We were cracking up!

Gymnastics Videos!

Here are a couple of videos that Scott took of Kilee during her "Teddie Bear Tumblers" gymnastics class. So incredibly cute, don't you think?

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

Hello All!

I feel like I'm the person from the camera commercials that never prints her pictures but just piles them up in her camera. These past few months since we've moved to camp, lived there for 3 months, and moved back home, I have done a pitiful job of keeping track of pictures! Here are the ones I pulled off my camera tonight. Enjoy!

Aren't they cute in their jammies?

Such a cute dress. She looks like such a lady!

Kilee and our dear friend and Crossings staffer Dustin, a.k.a. "HillBill" Nice matching camo!

This picture is one of my favorites because she completely dressed herself. I was going through some hand-me-down clothes from a friend and she was "helping" me. She was already wearing the shirt, but the bottom is actually not a skirt. She put both legs through one hole in some gray gym shorts to make a skirt! Hilarious. The red shoes pull everything together, I think.
