White Christmas, North Pole, and Driving Lessons
We had a great Christmas in Norman. On Saturday, we got snow, it was suppose to be a light dusting, but we got quite a bit more than that. It froze over night so we were homebound for a while, but by Sunday afternoon the sun came out and we were able to get out. We took the girls to North Pole City, a Christmas store that is packed with everything Christmas. The original plan was to take the girls to ride the train in the back of the store, but the train was not working the day we were there. But as you can see there was plenty for them to look at despite the broken down train. For Christmas Gigi got the girls matching cars. They had a ball crashing all over Gigi and Popee's house.

On Wednesday, we met a movie star. We attended story time at the Bentonville Public Library, which by the way was very good. They have two different groups one that ranges from 0-2 years of age and then 3 years to 5 years. So, it was very well tailored for this very active 2 year old. At any rate, they had a "dino" as Kennedy calls them on display in the library and we found out that it is the actual "Rexy" from Night at the Museam. Apparently, "Rexy" went on a nationwide tour to promote the release of the DVD which culminated with his new home at the Bentonville Library. It is a new library and it is very nice, it has a coffee house in the lobby and a huge children's wing. We had a great time! I'll end with some pics of

Not much to post this week. Ken was gone from Tuesday through Friday. So, Kennedy and I hit the boxes hard. We have got most things unpacked and put away, but not anything on the walls yet.
Kennedy has been busy making new friends. We went to the playground and "Little Miss Social" went right to work. She greeted everyone on the playground and asked a little boy "pees" if she could use his sand tools. She is adjusting just fine.
Saturday, there was a neighborhood garage sale, so we all three headed out to walk around and see if there was anything we couldn't live without. There is a Sonic with in walking distance of our house, so we headed down for lunch. (You don't know how much you appreciate Sonic until it's gone!) :)
Kennedy has now moved to a booster seat. She thinks she is such a big girl in her new chair. I don't have much else to post so I'll just post some pics of Kennedy.

It's official, we are Arkies! Friday we had our car plates changed over and got our Arkansas drivers licenses. It was a sady day for this Texas girl. We moved in Friday night and spent our first night in our new home. There are boxes everywhere, but it feels like home. Kennedy thinks it's Christmas as we open each box she is enjoying toys she has not seen in 5 months.

Mom and Dad flew Kennedy and me down to Corpus to celebrate Kennedy's 2nd birthday, and then Ken's family came up this weekend to help us celebrate. So, Kennedy's been turning two for quite some time now.

We have been attending the Nazarene church here in Bentonville, and it will be nice to become more involved now that we have a much shorter drive. I will post more later, but wanted to let everyone we are doing good and praising God for our new home!



Love to all!
