It's Almost Christmas!

Hi everyone! Here is a glimpse of our December so far getting ready for Christmas, etc!

Summer's little stocking next to ours!

Putting the star on top of our tree

Good job Paul!

Tucker's first tree decorating experience....we kept him busy with a bone so he didn't get into the breakables!

Ready to put the ornaments on!

The finished tree!

Summer went to see Grandpa at work.

Enjoying the "baby treadmill" that mommy fixed up.

Torey, Kelly's roommate from college, stayed with us one weekend.  We got  "snowed in".  Summer helped us make cookies, one of Torey's family recipes.

This is Torey's car in the driveway after Paul shoveled.  We got over 20 inches in less than a 48 hour period!

Tucker's view as he tried to go outside to go to the bathroom partway through our winter storm!  He started to run out and then stopped, not sure what to do!  Daddy plowed Tucker a little place to use the restroom!

A cute random--Summer sits in her bumbo each morning while mommy eats breakfast.

Summer in Winter :)

The annual Kirkwood family Christmas cookie bake-off--Summer's first!  Summer is "helping" Auntie Kristin unwrap Hershey Kisses for the peanut butter kiss cookies.

Two generations of siblings :)

Summer's shirt is so true!  If you can't read it, it says, "Who needs Santa when I have Grandma"!

Playing with Daddy

Grandpa and Summer

Summer loves to look at the tree!

Tucker loves his little sis!

Mommy and Summer walking around the tree.

Summer always gives Tucker a huge grin!  (That is Tucker's tail in the front of the picture as he runs past!)

Yay Summer!  She is getting so much better at balancing on two feet.  When holding onto her crib, she can stand for a couple seconds without tipping over, all by herself!  (of course we are spotting her to catch her when she does tip over!)
