Well we finally have snow. I don't mind the snow....it is the ice that is underneathe that I don't like!! I am really having to take baby steps out there!! Kenna loves to be outside...and the snow does not slow her down!! Today it was 4 degrees for a high and -23 with the windchill!!! Nice! You know it is cold when your snot freezes and you feel like your eye sockets are freezing!! Kenna has also been in a kick where she loves putting on necklaces, bracelets, hats and lately shoes!! She tried on many pairs of shoes today, wearing only a shirt and diaper. She also tried putting on daddy's shoes....and had to settle for his hat!!
Well we went to Minneapolis/St. Paul last weekend to catch up with our friend and old Utah neighbor Heather and her daughter Marin. We had a short but good visit. We had a early Thanksgiving dinner with them, her parents, grandmother and aunt. YUM!! On the way home we stopped at the outlet malls and did some shopping....which is always dangerous....but we did good. Overall we had a good trip!

Well today Kenna and I went to he escape zone and played with some other kids. Afterwards we met Keith for his squadron Thanksgiving Luncheon. It was good and Kenna got to ham it up. It looks like tomorrow we are going to head off to Minneapolis, MN to see our friend and old neighbor Heather (and her two kiddos!). She is there visiting her family and we thought we would go see her while she was in a close proximity. I am sure I will have photos to blog next week of our visit!! Pray for our safety!! By the way....I got this cute hat from Old Navy for $1.50! Gotta love clearance bargains!!

Just the other day, as Kenna was begging to go play outside....we quickly realized that we don't have any snow suits, hats, or mittens that fit Kenna right now!! WHOOPS! So....the only thing we could find was this snow suit we had in the closet. Needless to say...she was so puffy and padded...that the poor thing couldn't walk!! She would fall because it was so hard to walk in...and then she couldn't get back up!! It was so sad that it was funny!! I have since gone to the thrift store and bought some replacements...and a trip to Old Navy got her another hat and mittens.
Well Kenna turned 1 on Halloween like many of you already know. We were in Houston, Tx for her birthday because daddy was TDY...and we didn't want to hang out alone. So, my friend Micah paid for us to come visit. We had a pretty good time....went to the Houston Zoo, out to eat for her b-day (Mexican food...yeah!!), she ate a whole big piece of her b-day cake, got dressed up in her Halloween costume and went to a chidlren's party, and just had fun visiting. The trip was quite exhausting, being almost 7 months pregnant (much bigger at this point than last time) and chasing a 1 year old that has discovered her ability to walk fast!!! We are glad to be home, have daddy home, and be in our own beds!!!
