Zoo Lights

A few weeks ago Eric and I won tickets on the radio to go to the "Zoo Lights" in Portland. We got a family pack so we invited some friends and headed there to see all the fun lights. It was fun to watch kinley, she loved seeing everything and got really excited if we let her touch the lights! It was pretty chilly out, but definetely worth the trip!

Santa Claus Time!

We had our ward Christmas party tonight and therefore, Kinley got to meet Santa Claus. Santa didn't show up until about 8:15, so she was already grumpy (past her bedtime) and well she just thought he was a pretty scary guy! When I finally took her back she kept looking back at him and whimpering....at least she entertained everyone around her! Maybe next year she will like him :)

Climbing down stairs!

Kinley has been trying really hard to go down the stairs this week! I would sit about 4 stairs down and let her try over and over again....She had some pretty good tumbles, but she was bound and determined so I let her keep trying...Now she is doing much better, and is finally starting to get the hang of it! She is such a cheeser too, she loves to play at the top of the stairs and give us this big grins! Love this girl!

Christmas Lights Parade

Every year the city of Forest Grove put on a lights parade down mainstreet. It was a lot of fun to see kinley looking at all the lights and people as they walked by. She wasn't as enthusiastic about it as I thought she would have been (I think because it was really cold). But she sat there quiet as could be in awe of everything :)! It was a good sized parade too, that lasted about a half hour! We love living in this fun little town!!!

Christmas Tree Cutting!

Since we aren't going home for christmas this year :( We decided it was about time for us to get our very first Christmas Tree! We ended up going to this little tree farm in Banks that had a good deal on trees. We got to go and search for the perfect tree and then have them cut it down for us! It was pretty cold outside, but Kinley still had fun! She loves touching the needles...and now that we have lights on the tree her new favorite thing is to touch or unplug them. I don't dare put presents out yet!

This girl is such a character! I love Her to MUCH :)
