Kayla was busy getting ready for Christmas these last couple of weeks (although not as busy as Santa!). She baked Christmas cookies and insisted on rolling the dough and cutting out the cookies herself. We told her that she had to leave cookies and milk out for Santa and she got a very concerned look on her face. She explained that he could have 1 cookie and a little milk but that was all. He wasn't going to eat all her cookies.

On Christmas day, she got a lot of really great gifts including a kitchen set, easel, train, pretty outfits, puzzles, a playdoh set, a beautiful umbrella, stuffed animals, crocs, books, the Shrek trilogy, and some more money for her college fund! She was really wound up on Christmas Day. I think this was the year she realized how much fun Christmas can be.

In the afternoon, her good friends Kurt and Cole stopped by to give her a ride in their new Christmas present -- a mini F150 Ford Truck. She loved it. It was hilarious to see Kurt drive her around in it. We'll try to get some video of it for the blog soon!
