Christmas '08




We hope you all had a blessed holiday. McKenleigh had a wonderful time. She was a little overwhelmed by all the gifts and people, but we have a great time. We had Christmas parties, pictures memorable moments. We celebrated our family Christmas on Christmas Eve, then went to our church's Christmas Eve service. McKenleigh did well, but was ready to get down and play before it was over. She really like the candle lite part and was confused when they finally blew them out. After the service we jumped in the car and drove to my parents for Christmas with them. It was a wonderful Christmas.

Cruise

Pictures of our trip!

Celebrate!

This was a week of Celebrations and fun. Uncle Adam graduated with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and we took a trip to Florida to be there.





Adam and Adrien the graduates!

McKenleigh was able to meet Grace, the biggest dog she has ever seen. They had a great time.

The celebration continued when Jason flew down on our 2nd anniversary. Adam wanted to go on a cruise for his graduation present, so we all went. We celebrated Graduation, Jason and my 2nd anniversary and McKenleigh's 1st Birthday. It was a great week.


Graduation

December 11th McKenleigh took her 2nd plane trip. This trip was a little different from the last one. When McKenleigh was 8 weeks old, we flew to Montana and it went perfect. She slept the whole time. It was an easy flight and no one knew a child was on the plane.

This trip was a little different. My parents, McKenleigh and I flew to Florida for my brothers graduation. She was almost a year old and it was 6:30 pm. (Her bed time is 7:30) We left for the airport with plenty of time, but due to a car accident, the traffic was terrible so a 25 min trip turned into an hour trip. We get to the airport, run through to security and make it to the gate. Once we boarded at 6:30, we got delayed because of weather, it was snowing/icing. They had to de-ice the plane and so we sat in the plane for an hour before we took off. I had brought some food and we were blessed to have a row to ourselves, so mom was on the isle and I was by the window. McKenleigh would climb on me and the climb over to grandma, the back to me then back to her. She continued to climb and play the entire flight. She did stop for a few minutes to look at a book with grandma, but that lasted maybe 2 min. She was really good and we were so proud of her, but it was a long 4 hours to keep a baby confined. We made it there safely and we were greeted by our favorite people - Uncle Adam, Adrian and her brother.

Birthday Party

Here is a few pictures from McKenleigh's 1st Birthday Party. Other than the fact that my dad was in surgery during the party, the day was a great day.

We rented a neighborhood clubhouse, invited some dear friends and had a great time celebrating the big dad. Pop Pop (my dad) we missed you, but we are so glad you are all better now.
