Kai & Gracie :)

Kailey's friend Grace came over to play yesterday and we decorated Gingerbread cookies! Mmmmm....one of her favorites! They used skittles, creamy icing, gel icing, all different colors of sprinkles & candy balls to make up their delicious little treats. Kai and Grace were playing in the backyard afterward and Grace says to Kailey....."Kai, you are my best friend. We go to the Y to play together and I come to your house. You are my best friend".

It was so very sweet!

Family Night Under the Lights!

This was our first year attending 'Family Night Under the Lights' at Longleaf Learning Center (Kai's preschool). They did an amazing job entertaining the kids! First we stopped by to see the photographer for a family shot (soon to come). Here are the kids checking out the Bee's classroom and probably making a mess ;) BUT HEY, that's normal ;) ;)

Awwww! Little Man :) I just love it when he's all dressed up in his vest and tie! Soooooooo handsome!
Next we popped outside just in time to see Santa arrive! Kai was the second in line. Check out this face FULL of excitement!

Two words: GREAT SHOT! Kai and Santa spent a long few minutes chatting about being a good girl and making sure she takes care of her little brother. Kohl wasn't up for sitting on his lap this time. It was a little past his bedtime and he wanted Momma.

He did get to enjoy a candy cane that Santa gave Kailey to share with him! That sugar sooned perked him up :)

Kai and Kohl decorated their cookie while enjoying a delicious glass of cold milk! Just as Santa does every Christmas :) After that they made 'Reindeer Food'!

The note reads:

Sprinkle on the lawn at night,

The moon will make it sparkle bright,

As Santa's reindeer fly and roam,

This will guide them to your home.

After they made 'reindeer food' they enjoyed the beautiful snow fall! Yes, believe it or not it SNOWED here in Florida at LLC ;) Kai thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Kai and her BFF, Brianna, playing in the LLC Snow!

Can't wait until next year!!! Thanks LLC for a fabulous time!

Santa stopped by!

Every year Santa stops by a little early on the Eastlake Fire Truck to see all the kids in Mamaw Dorothy's neighborhood! Mamaw's neighbor sets up all of her toys in the front yard and the kids have a blast waiting for Jolly O Saint Nick :) Here are a few of our great shots from the evening!

Keeks and Mariana!
Family shot (check out this fire truck)!

Mommy and her babes all bundled up! It was a chilly evening in sunny Florida.

Kailey really enjoyed chatting with Santa! She was shocked to know that he 'knew'

she wanted a barbie!

Little man did really well too! He got a cool car that races around and makes all kinds of noises.

Thanks Mamaw for a wonderful evening! It's always a blast with you :-)

Our Soccer Star :)

This is Kailey's last week of outdoor soccer at the YMCA! Tonight is the last practice and Sat. morning will be the Purple Panther's last game. It's been such a good learning experience for Kai. She's never played on a 'team' before and we're quite proud of her accomplishments. This morning I signed her up for 'indoor' soccer starting early Dec.! Stay tuned for more Soccer Star updates :)

Halloween 2010!

We had a wonderful Halloween this year celebrating with Mamaw Dorothy, Uncle Shane, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Mark, Nikolas & William :) Daddy & Kailey carved pumpkins, we set up in the driveway handing out candy, walked our street and trick or treated at our neighbors and enjoyed some delicious aps that everyone made (thanks guys).

This year we decided that we were going to get creative and use whatever costumes/clothes we had in our closets. Kailey was Snow White (one of her dress up costumes), Kohlston was a Farmer with the most adorable little freckles (simple overalls and a bandana) , Cuba was a Fawn (Bambi I suppose - gotta love those non toxic magic markers), Daddy was a Construction Worker and Mommy was a Referee (Daddy's Ref outfit). Yup, all that and we didn't buy a thing! Check it out :) :) :) :)

I think someone is EXCITED!!! Kai wore her Snow White costume ALL DAY LONG! Even to Publix for grocery shopping :) Heals and all :)
Mr. Smiley sitting on a pumpkin first thing in the morning. It was beautiful out (slight chilly breeze) - WE ARE READY for some FALL WEATHER :) It's a slow start this year.
