Christmas with the Snyders

On Tuesday, the 29th, we got to have yet another Christmas Celebration. This time it was with Nana, Grandad, Aunt Amy, Uncle Randy, Jack, Uncle Bubba, and Aunt Laura.

Kylee had a great time playing with her new toys as she opened them. Here she is giving her friends a ride in her new stroller.

Drawing on her Magna Doodle. Notice how focused she is -- tongue out and everything (that definitely comes from me!?)

Cutting some of her new play food with Jack (and using her new lap desk and stool to do it.)



One of the Snyder Family traditions is that there is always a hidden present. This year was great because Kylee was actually able to go and find her present and help to open it. This is the reaction she had when she found and revealed her "hide present."
It's a kitchen!!!


She then spent quite a bit of time "cooking." Hot dogs were her specialty. : )



(Sorry I couldn't figure out how to turn these pictures.)

Kylee also tried to join in the game of Funglish. Here she is giving clues to the crowd.

"Hmmm, maybe these clues will help."


"Yes, that's the right answer!"


On the Road Again

It was soon time to head to PA and begin yet another Christmas celebration.

Buddy came by on Sunday morning to say good bye too. : )


Where's Kylee? This is how we spent part of the ride to PA. Kylee couldn't decide which friend she wanted in the car with her and kept asking for others to be added.


We're here and ready to play.
Kylee and Granddad had fun playing with (and on!) the train and car table.


Sharing her new coloring pad with Jack, they both decided to add some masterpieces to the book.




Christmas with the Cooksons

Our first stop for Christmas this year was Andover, MA. Since we had an extra long break (due to the Blizzard in Virginia) we were able to spend some extra days with family this year.

Before Christmas arrived, Aunt Sue and Kylee had some fun riding their wrapping paper horses. : )



Then it was time for the Christmas festivities to begin. We all went to church on Christmas Eve. Kylee had been pretty happy and active all day so she actually slept for the ENTIRE mass which actually worked out very nicely. : ) Here she is all dressed up to go to church.



When we got home from church we started opening presents with Grammie, Grandpa, Aunt Sue, Aunt Laurie, and Uncle Shaun.


It's Zoe and Big Bird!!!

A Sid doll that talks!!! Kylee also insisted on wearing some of the clothes as she opened them. : )


After all the excitement it was time to go to bed and get ready for Santa to arrive.

Opening presents on Christmas morning (Santa obviously did come for a visit.) : )

Kylee loved all of her gifts and spent a lot of time playing in her new ball pit.


She also got pretty good at her Sit and Spin.
