A belated McKinney Christmas

I am aware we are well into the new year.... but blogging is so low on my list of things to do right now.  Sleep is a much higher priority.  Baby is still not sleeping through the night (boo!)  She is on a good daytime schedule now though, which makes everything run smoother.  Leila's schedule keeps me busy--preschool, dance, gymnastics, playgroup, playdates.  And on top of that I am busy with my own activities.

Skylar's 1st Christmas was wonderful.  She made the day easy.  It was so much fun with Leila understanding more about Santa and the nativity.  We are blessed to both have our parents nearby so it is a busy day but we get to celebrate with everyone.  Santa was good to both of the girls--yes Skylar needed her own presents!  Santa brought Leila a camera and Mrs. Potato Head, among other things.  He brought Skylar Mr. Potato Head so they can play together.  Skylar also got some Weebles from mom & dad--we had to get our baby something of her own. 

We saw the whole family at my parent's, including four dogs: Shrek, Missy, Lucy, and puppy Aspen, who is bigger than all 3 other dogs.  At the McKinney's, Mary surprised the guys with "McKinney & Sons" Dozer Company hats, which is hilarious since my father-in-law just bought a bull dozer!  It was a great holiday.


The 4 of us on Christmas Eve.  Never wake a sleeping baby, not even for a picture opportunity.

Little Skylar (almost 3 months here!) balances pretty well in the bebepod. Just a little bit of cushioning needed.
Daddy got Leila tools (hey, every girl should have some!). We heard all morning "I want to tool something." Ha!
I couldn't get enough of this ridiculous flower head band.  Thanks April!

My sister Lisa with her fiance Jerry holding Skylar.

All of the cute doggies.  Why did we even try to get them to pose??

Aunt Courtney with Skylar.  Both look gorgeous!

McKinney & Sons... Dozer work done right!

Skylar with her Mimi, who gave her the adorable gingerbread outfit.  Poor Skylar looks terrified in most of these pictures!
