Kayla spent this Christmas in Indiana visiting 2 Great Grandmas, 1 Grandma, 1 Uncle, 2 Great Uncles, 1 Aunt, 1 Great-Great Aunt and too many cousins to count. Her Grandma Sue bought her a nice red Christmas dress and of course, she looked adorable. She's definitely not into Santa Claus yet (she cries hysterically at the site of him), but she got plenty of presents this year. To list a few:

Wood puzzles
Bath animals
Outfits and pajamas
A UCLA musical bear
Books
Trivia questions for toddlers
A cookie jar to help count cookies
Lacing beads
Hello Kitty purse

Kayla made her 7th plane trip up to see her Grandmas. Thanks to our portable DVD player, the trip up was easy. The Dora the Explorer videos helped keep Kayla entertained. She even got her own seat, since the plane wasn't full. She fell asleep 15 minutes before we landed and stayed sleeping through a really rough landing. She didn't wake up until we walked outside the airport on the way to the rental car. The weather in Chicago was WINDY -- imagine that.

But, there wasn't any snow, which was ok. Her Grandma Sue actually had to drive to Indiana from Denver after a major snow storm had closed the airport there for a couple days and cancelled her flight. Fortunately, everyone made it there including Uncle Trevor from L.A. It was a really nice, memorable Christmas.
