christmas craziness...yes there's more

ok backwards again, whatever!
so after christmas we went to PA for a quick one day trip to see my family. then after we got back brandon's parents came here to do christmas.

this is from when brandon's parents came down. kinsley did great opening presents, by now she was a pro!

Christmas craziness

ok these are backwards but oh well! we have had quite the holiday party around here, despite all of us getting sick to different degrees we had a great christmas and kinsley loved every bit of it. we got lots of cool things and got to see lots of family and friends.


this is from our christmas at home. kinsley opening some of her stocking. we had to do presents in shifts because she would find something she liked and just walk away to play with it. so it took all morning but it was nice family time together.

her jammies were delivered on Christmas eve morning by Rudolph!


her big gift was a climber...she loved it!!! so sad tho the elves sent us a broken slide so we are waiting for them to send a replacement! for now she enjoys jumping off into her bean bag!

christmas morning!

on christmas eve we spent the evening with the tonies. we ordered pizza and did presents and had a great time together. i was sad to miss my families christmas eve party and have kinsley sit on Santa's lap and get a presents, but no worries he stopped by the tonies house too!!!! (that would be brandon!) he is so sweet, he secretly rented a suit and showed up after work at the tonies with a bag of gifts for the kids. everyone but me knew about it, but it was great. the kids were hilarious, carmine couldn't believe his eyes, rece says, "hey your not santa, your brandon" tierney cried and only wanted to get her present and ran, and kinsley didn't seem to mind...i think she knew it was daddy!!!!! all in all it turned out to be a great christmas eve.

at home after the party with santa. i video taped at the tonies but forgot to take a picture, i was too shocked!

all the kids on christmas eve! can you believe next year there will be 2 more babies!!!!!

ok so before we had our christmas we had christmas with kelsey, adam, and mel.

Kinsley liked here new musical elephant!!!!

kinsley with mommy!!! santa left alot of presents for her!!

Christmas was great!!! kinsley was to small to do much but she does show excitement and interest in toys. aunt mel stayed the night with us and opened presents with us in the morning. after that we went to toledo for christmas with the poddany side of the family, and my parents came down a few days later to to christmas here. it was nice to see everyone!!!

3 months, christmas eve!

Wow!!! little kinsley is three months old!
kinsley turned 3 months on christmas eve. she has been changing so much lately. her head control is great, she grabs and holds on to toys, she even gets them in her mouth!!! she is chewing on everything too!!! since we have started the gas drops we have had ALOT more happy baby time. she coos and talks like crazy and smiles alot more. you still have to really work for a smile but it is so worth it!!!

me and daddy are still hanging in there. not much news, breastfeeding is finally getting figured out. i lost my supply a few weeks back ad had to pump like crazy to get it back up, but it is better now. apparently the birth control can do that to a small % of women, so of course i am in that group!!!
just a cute one!!!


so sweet!!


here are the christmas jammies she wore on christmas eve., they say "mommy and daddy's favorite gift is me!" SO TRUE!

3 months old with daddy!!!

ALSO...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!! HE TURNED 27 ON THE 26TH!!!!!!!!!!!!
