I decide since I had some extra time today that I would update on how the holidays went for us. November started out to be a rough month for us, Josh ended up having to have an oral surgeon remove his tooth right at the end of October. Two weeks later he needed to have nose surgery because he broke his nose on Thanksgiving 2007, no more turkey bowl! So here come the medical bills all before Christmas! Glad to have all the surgeries over and Josh feeling better we were looking forward to my sister Erin and niece Maddie coming home for Thanksgiving and Maddie's birthday. Kaydence was so excited to see Maddie that she didn't want to let go of her to ride in our car home. We were able to do quite a few fun things with the girls the first one was going up to Heber and riding the Polar Express! They were both very curious
of everything on the train and they loved santa. Kaydence was so excited to hold "Sprinkles" hand, that was the elf on our car.

We thought if we went earlier in the day it would not be too bad, boy were we wrong. There were a ton o people there but the girls really enjoyed it. I think Maddie wanted to play with Chuck E on stage more than open her presents. We also went down to the Discovery Gateway to let the girls play. Maddie loved the water exhibit and Kaydence seemed to like anything she could get her han
ds on both of them had a good time
. Erin and Maddie had to go home the first week of December, this took Kaydence a little while to get use to after have two weeks of Maddie being home. Everytime I mentioned going to Grandma and Grandpa Groves house she would ask if Maddie was going to be there. They had a lot of fun but we were sad to see them leave. 
Christmas was a little more exciting this year with Kaydence because she was old enough to understand more and get more involved. We decided to make reindeer food so after we opened our pajamas Josh took her outside to sprinkle the food in the snow. The food had glitter in it so it would sparkle and the reindeer would know when to stop. She loved this, Josh ended up being the first one up Christmas morning he had to wake up Kaydence. T
he first thing she did was run to our window to see if she could see if the reindeer's had ate the food she left them outside. Josh and Kaydence had most of their present opened before I started on mine, I think they were both excited for Kaydence's blocks, they love to build together. After a full day of visiting family and opening presents 
Kaydence was tired out. She recieved a tent from Grandma and Grandpa Hoellein that she loved. She insisted that daddy put it up in her room and of course she could not sleep in there alone. Josh is such a good daddy, he climbed inside with her and read her stories till she feel asleep. Our holidays were great this year and we enjoyed the time we were able to spend with both sides of our family.

Next time we come visit no staples or accidents will be involved
Looks like a busy but fun holiday season!!! I love the idea of the reindoor food in the snow...so cute. You would never guess that a simple tent could bring so much joy to little kids, Sadie had one like that and she could play for hours in it. Kaydence is always so animated, she is a doll.
