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!
