Every year Nathan's mom likes to buy the Grand Kids new outfits and have Christmas pictures taken.  These are just a few.  It was pretty cold so we didn't get much.

Evan, Kelci and Harper

Harper and Kelci giving kisses.  Its funny to watch these two play cause when they hit each other, and are caught doing so, they will immediately give the other a kiss

I finally was able to download the video's of Kelci walking and playing with Gunner.

This is how she would walk around the house for probably 2 months but was never willing to let go of train.

 

This was her learning to walk while in Montana for Christmas.  It was funny to watch because she would take a few steps and then fall into my lap laughing.  Nathan and I would slowing start moving further apart from each other to make her walk farther but she would still take a few steps then fall on floor face first laughing.  I think she thought it was more fun to fall on purpose then to keep trying to walk. Now she spends 90% of her day just walking around the house thinking she is pretty cool.

Here she is with Gunner.  I wish I got her crawling over him but by the time I got camera she was just beating on him.  He could have cared less that she would just sit there and hit him.

Because I have a wonderful sister we now have a working computer so now I can update blog.  Thanks Nicole!!

This is what she looks like when she wakes up from naps.  We take her in front of a mirror and she just laughs at herself

Merry Christmas

Cabela's was doing free pictures so we decided to take Kelci to go see Santa.  She was so happy to see him.  It was hard to snap a picture because she just wanted to play with his beard.  They wouldn't let us take a picture with our camera so we tried to scan the one we received from them but it doesn't look very good so unfortunately you can't see it but it turned out super cute.  However the following week we did breakfast with Santa at Nathan's work and we were able to capture a picture.  Not near as cute and the other but it works

We had the opportunity to go to Montana for Christmas.  We were hoping it would be fun for Kelci to open presents but after a couple she was done and just wanted to play.

Opening her Night Before Christmas PJ's

 Showing off one of the pair of PJ's she got.

Because Kelci didn't wake up till 8:30 and she takes FOREVER to eat breakfast we had a late start Christmas morning so by the time the rest of the world was finished with their Christmas morning we were just beginning ours.

 Playing with her shopping cart that Santa brought

Opening presents

After all the presents were open we put Kelci in the middle of all the paper.  She thought it was funny to sit and play peek a boo with the paper.

I just realized that I only took pictures of Kelci opening presents.  Sorry rest of the family I guess I just don't love you as much:)

Dad bought himself a 9mm handgun for Christmas so naturally we had to go test it out!!  Shooting a handgun is a little different then a rifle so needless to say we all need to practice our aim.  Sorry Travis but since I am the only child who goes home and shoots with Dad he said he is changing his will and the guns go to me!!!

While home for Christmas Kelci finally learned to walk but since the videos aren't loading you will have to wait to see it.  At home she would push her train around the house forever but would not let go.  Once she decided she didn't need to hold on to anything or anyone she was cruising around the house in no time.  There is no stopping her now!

Kelci and I had the opportunity to go to Montana the beginning of November to see my sister Tammy and her family before the moved to Connecticut.  While their my parents and I took Mariah, Mason, and Kelci to go see the trains.  Mason is obsessed with trains so he was in seventh heaven.  The kids loved to be able to drive the train.

Mariah doesn't look happy because she was mad that we wanted the door open so we could take a picture.

Grandpa with Mason

Once we were done playing on the train we took the kids down to see the real train.  Mason was so happy to see the real trains.

For some reason I can't upload the video but while in Montana Kelci fell in love with Gunner.  She would crawl all over him, give him kisses, beat his tummy and he wouldn't even budge.
