On December 21, 2008... Kiley Grace Pond had her dedication service at Vintage21 church in Raleigh. We are so blessed to have her and she's truly a gift from God!! :) Thank you Jesus!! :)

Sister Love

Hey Guys!! I love my sister! I can't get enough of her! Seriously! I HAVE to give her a hug and a kiss before every nap. I ALWAYS race Mommy upstairs to see her when she wakes up in her crib! (then I crawl in and jump in the crib and make her laugh!) I've really been pouring on the hugs and kisses lately...and why not?
It is the Holiday Season, is it not?



We had a Tree Lighting ceremony at Riverwood last weekend! I saw Santa and gave him my Christmas List. I road a horsey carriage, got some free cookies and even danced and sang to Christmas carols. It was a VERY cold night! We all got pink cheeks and noses from being outside! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! I love Christmas time!





That night I even made my own ice pops. I saw it done on Blue's Clues one time so I thought I'd try it! I put suran wrap on an ice tray and stuck crayons in it for the sticks. (very smart!) Later, Mommy and Daddy filled the ice trays with juice and we used toothpicks to make real ones!



Come over and you can have one!! :)
P.S. I think Mommy forgot to tell you that Kiley got two teeth last week!!
The two front teeth on the bottom! Cool!

Thanksgiving "Turkeys"

Ok.....this HAS to be the first thing on this page! Here's Kiley eating...grabbing....CRYING over a turkey leg! This has to be some sort of record for the earliest turkey leg eaten by a human! Ha!

On Thanksgiving Day, Mommy tried to dress us up in matching colors for the first time ! Here's our lovely picture. We had a hard time posing!! That's Kiley riding a horse that was Daddy's when he was little!! I rode it too! (Note that Kiley is 7 months old and Mallory was over a year old in these horse pictures!!)



The Wednesday before Turkey Day, I had a Family Feast Lunch at my school!! My class sang songs and wore shirts we painted that said, "We Give Thanks to God!"
Kiley ate mash potatoes for the first time! See?





Friday after Thanksgiving we went to Amelia Church Rd. Park. Adi came along to play with me! And wouldn't you know...my friend Leah was there too! We played at the park and then walked down to a little pond to throw rocks in the water! There were cool trees near the water that made for excellent photos!

Sunday we decorated our Christmas tree!! It was a FAMILY event!!
Even Kiley put some ornaments on! She's starting to stand too!

What an amazing Holiday weekend!
Love you--All of Us

Princess Oranges

Good Morning on the day before Thanksgiving! :) We're getting ready to go to Grandma and Granddaddy's house to celebrate tomorrow. Maybe my friend Amanda will be there...I really love playing with her! Kiley's ready to try little bites of EVERYTHING!! We'll take pictures. I of course will probably eat bacon, ketchup, maybe peanut butter crackers and some sort of chip. (wonderful.)

I went to my first princess birthday party last Saturday. My friend Charlotte turned 3! I'm wearing the Cinderella dress. I've decided that I want to have a princess party for my 5th birthday and I will wear the Cinderella dress to that too. I'm very fond of it.



Meanwhile, Kiley has been indulging in orange goodness!
Here she is eating/gnawing on some! She's getting her bottom teeth (mommy can feel them!) so the cold orange feels good! At the end of the video she burps...it's funny!

We'll talk to you guys after Thanksgiving!
Have a Happy Turkey Day!
We are Thankful for YOU!
Love, Mallory and Kiley
