My Colts Cheerleader!

She loved stirring my coffee, I think it was cold by the time she let me have it back :)

She was so excited about cheering for the Colts in her cheerleader outfit. McK lasted only about ten minutes. Her Papa Bear was just to comfy, she feel right asleep!

Christmas with a 4 year old :)

Have I ever told you how fun, McKensie is? I kept trying to get her to look at me! She was tooo busy to give me the time of day. She had to play with her pets until she could figure out their names. "You know you have to wait until you see how they act" she told me.

She had a hard time looking away from her pets. Can you see her trying to keep her eyes on them?

Crazy about clothes, look at her sisters in the background. I still don't remember what they were looking at.

I love this picture! Who knew my girl would love her new robe! I'm just thinking how she would have reacted with a Dora robe?

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!

McKensie and her special pink pillow from Ali. Since McK was two or younger we have carried a purple pillow with us ( almost everywhere). Ali thought she need a new one that was smaller :)

Our youngest cat, Prince, was interested in what was going on. He loved playing in the boxes the next day.

Ali go a really cooool gift from her grandparents. It was a star theater with a Cd guided audio tour of the night's sky. Can't wait to check this out I am way excited!

Santa was very nice and left KD a iPod, sweet!

Santa left, McKensie a Barbie Mariposa doll. I think she (we) could be in the Guinness Book for watching this movie the most time. McKensie knows the movie word, for word!!

End of a long day.....

The Mack Pack, ready to open their Christmas PJs. A family tradition.

The gang ready to head home. McK was just to independent she wanted to walk with the umbrella, she walked right into a big puddle of water and complained about having her feet wet. The joys of having a four year old.

Can you tell McK was not happy to take another picture.

Merry Christmas 2008!!!! Love the Keeners XOXOXO

Museum Fun

"Spiderman", in case you didn't know. "ha ha"

Silly clowns in the cab.

Christian Dawn, looking at some comics.

Christmas Eve

McKensie, finally gets to see Santa!! Yeah!!! She moved right before I took this picture I didn't get a chance to take another one that wasn't so dark. I still love how happy she was to see him she talked about it for the rest of the day. "Sweet girl"

Our Princess McKensie Karla

"Papa Bear" and "Lil Bit"

The Children's Museum

McKensie was sooo excited to slide down the Winter Wonderland slide.

The end of a very long line for the slide. Inside the Jolly Days was, Santa :)

McKensie and I coming down the slide. The last time I went down the slide was when Ali was about 2 or 3 and now she is 12. It's been awhile, I'll say. McKensie, had a blast and wanted to go again. I was a good mom and said, "maybe later". However we did slide again right before we left.

Big Sister Ali waiting with McKensie to slide.

McKensie, happy to be getting closer to the slide :)

We ventured out to the free day at the Children's Museum. I am not sure what we were thinking. I was running out of time for McKensie to see Santa.

More fun!

The girls dancing on a blue screen, they are suppose to be wearing underwater costumes

If you look closely you can see KD's head, arms, and legs.

Hanging out look at the glass sculpture in the celing. (next picture)

This is to neat, wish I had one :)

McKensie, her first time on skates!
Skating Party for Christian's 10 Birthday. This was not the best day for my camera to break. I didn't even get a photo of KD with her cake or gifts. :(

Gingerbread Time

Little blurry (sorry) I had to show where we stored our house. Our kitten is just too happy to help himself to any food left out.

"All done let's eat it now!"

My sweet girls, KDK, Ali, and MacK. What precious ladies I have been blessed with!

What was I saying about my precious ladies? They were suppose to make funny faces, notice that Ali is blocking KD's face instead.

Making a house

Every year my girls put together one of those Gingerbread House Kits. Craig and I enjoy watching them work together! (Hallelujah)

McKensie kept sneaking in licks of the icing. ( I caught her in the act )

These kits should have more icing. This year I didn't make extra icing for the house. What they had with the kit is all they got. I will never again use the icing bag that come with the kit, look at all the icing falling off the house :(

Ali and Christian let McKensie do most of the decorating this year. MacK was so happy :)

She kept telling her sisters to look at the directions on the box. "This doesn't look like the picture, you are doing it wrong", said MacK. I think this is why the girls just let her do the decorating.

"Look what I can do!"

What an amazing daughter I have. This is Christian need I say more?

McK's thoughts about being alone:

McKensie is not allowed to go downstairs alone in the mornings. One morning at 6:30 am she walked across the street to our wonderful neighbors house. We found out about this later that day, the daughter did not tell her parents that morning, she just walked her back home.
So this morning she comes in my room and says,"Mom I would like to go downstairs now." I told her that no one was awake to go with her maybe she could wake KD up and I didn't want her to be alone. This is what she told me,"Mom you silly I am never alone God is always with me." I almost fell out of my bed. I am so blessed to have my girl at such a young age realize that God will always be with her! My morning started out wonderfully!

My Brown Eye Girl

My cousin Chen(WhiteDovePhotography) took these beautiful pictures of McKensie. In the first picture she was not sure of what to think, of Chen taking her photo, but you can see she warmed right up. She is a camera girl, she loves taking pictures and having her picture taken.
