Christmas 2007

Me and Kensley got matching aprons from Grandma Beals and a Mommy & Me cookbook so we can cook together.

Kensley loved spending time with her Beals' cousins for Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve Pinata 2007

Kensley was afraid to hit the pinata for some reason. She loved hitting the one at Thanksgiving. I think she may have been scared because we were outside in the dark.

Happy and Sad

Makeup Artist

I was watching TV while Kensley was running around playing. I suddenly realized that she was being really quiet, so I got up to find her. She heard me get up and came running up to me with this all over her face. She had found my makeup and was eating my mascara. It was in a closed container and up on a counter. She is very resourceful when she wants something.

Leopard Princess

Kensley is starting to pose and laugh for pictures. She just sits there and giggles while I take her picture and then grabs for the camera to see it when I am done. I found this dress that Sandi handed down to me in a box yesterday and made her wear it to church today even though it was way too short. I felt that she had to at least wear it once! She didn't wear the hat to church, just for the picture. A lady in my ward told her she was so pretty and looked just like a doll and Kensley ran down the hall saying "pretty, pretty".

Thanksgiving 2007

Santa Claus Pinata

Me and Sandi made a Santa Claus Pinata for all the kids to hit during the Thanksgiving weekend. My mom used to make one for us to break every Christmas Eve and it is a tradition we have all loved and continue to do. Since my mom is on a mission to Nauvoo this year, I had to paint the Santa Claus face myself and it was pretty sad looking, but still fun for the kids. Kensley loved hitting it with the stick and kept swinging the stick around even after it was broken and all the candy was gone.

Presly and Kensley Thanksgiving

Big Hugs

Kensley is a very cuddly little girl and loves to give big hugs. She follows me around all day saying, "hug, hug" until I give her a hug. This picture is Kensley giving her cousin RJ a hug during Thanksgiving vacation in Cedar City.
