The Holiday Season!

Well The Race's definitely had a lot to be thankful for in 2012. In November, KelliAnne was 6 months old and got her first taste of the holidays. We were able to spend Christmas and Thanksgiving with Tom's side of the family in KC. KelliAnne LOVED pecan pie. Good thing she does not have that nut allergy…(KIDDING PEOPLE!)

Unfortunately, we were not able to travel back to St. Charles to be with my family. RSV season was in full swing, so no public places or being around toddlers. We have made a few visits back this spring to make up for the missed trips over the winter. Looking forward to some lake trips now!

Here is a family picture from Thanksgiving Day. KelliAnne is wearing a newborn size dress that we took off of a stuffed duck she was given after she was born.

                                        Yeah, she is pretty damn cute if I must say so myself !



Christmas came and went and KelliAnne experienced presents and Santa for the first time.  She enjoyed opening presents so much that she fell alseep opening them :) We had always assumed that we would take her to see Santa without any issues, but with the doctors urging us to stay in with her throughout the winter, we received a surprise visit from Grandpa Steve rockin' his new suit.  KelliAnne and I both really appreciated this 'first moment', and we were glad we didn't miss out on it.


Uncle Will and Aunt Jennifer sent this bear to KelliAnne for Christmas. It's so that she always remembes her uncles in the Army and living all over the world. She is still looking forward to meeting Uncle David and Aunt Lizzi!


She went through a little fussy phase and what helped was putting her on top of the fridge. Not sure how we even figured that one out....Whatever works!



SANTA!!!!!!!!!




Getting caught up......AGAIN!

I know we sound like a broken record, but we've been so busy and have not taken time to blog! Shame on us! KelliAnne's 1st birthday is right around the corner and we have not posted since November :( Our wonderful neighbors gave us a gift certificate to get "KelliAnne's Adventures" printed into a book and we plan to do so after her first birhday. So, some cathing up over the last few months.

Enjoy the updates on our little monkey :)
