December 2015


I'm just going to dive right into December. We were able to go see a sealing at the LA temple. I jump on any opportunity that allows me to take my kids to the temple. It's such an awesome place for them to be.



Porter got to enjoy a UCR basketball game with dad.


He also had his first Christmas performance in preschool. He was ADORABLE and tried his hardest not to smile the entire time he was up there.



This is his whole class.





Grandma was able to make it too!



He LOVES Ms. Heather.



Max is such a fun kid. He is OBSESSED with Christmas lights this month. So of course we did our annual outing to see the lights in Rancho. These houses are amazing and decked out with so many lights. He was in heaven!


We also went to a nearby candy store and they showed us how candy canes are made. The boys were able to shape their own when it was still warm.



Ms. Kennedy turned 2 months old!
She started cooing at 7 weeks and its my favorite sound in the world.

At 8 weeks she wants mom to hold her all the time
She sleeps every 2 hours at night
She's happy all the time
and she's the biggest chunk! I squeeze her daily.

At 2 and a half months she weighed in at 12lbs 13oz and was 24 inches long.


Oh, we love her so



This was her first trip to church




I have her in her UGG boots almost every day


and of course, we had to document her first trip to Disneyland.


The boys enjoyed themselves too.







Kennedy's blessing was right before Christmas on December 20, 2015 

Here are some of the things that were mentioned...

She was blessed with specific tools and abilities

She's a select daughter of Heavenly Father who was fore ordained to come here at this time

Blessed to listen to the promptings of the spirit

blessed with a sense of humor to find joy in life

blessed with strength to be a strong woman of God

Counseled to follow the example of her mother and grandmothers

Marry in the temple and be a strong mother


We had so many family and friends come out to show their love for our little girl.




Bryant held the microphone during the blessing...


and this is who was in the circle.

 


Kennedy is so blessed to have a loving daddy, who honors his priesthood and is a true follower of the Savior.










Next adventure was Christmas Eve at my parent's house

























Then Santa came...











Year 2015...success
