A few weeks before Christmas, Kennedy's Godfather (I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.....ha ha ha) Thomas arrived to spend the holidays with us (and of course his wife). We mailed out our Christmas cards ( a collage of Kennedy) during the week of Christmas. Our apologies if they didn't get to everybody in time, but with a 1 year old, and another baby on the way, we were just swamped and Christmas Cards were the last things on our minds. The next major event would be Christmas. As usual, we celebrated Christmas Eve with the Jurey's and then a few hours on Christmas day with the Gardner's before the Jurey's came over to join us for a wonderful Christmas dinner. We are all about Family during the holidays! I have posted some fabulous photos of these great times on my facebook page, so look me up and you can see the albums. Trust me, there are too many of the pictures to post on the blog.
After Christmas, came the new year. We had big plans and great intentions on hanging out at the Jurey's (as they were having a mild New Year Party), but we never saw 10:00 p.m. Jason, Kennedy and I were all passed out before we even got started. We don't mind though, when you have a child that sleeps through most of the night, you take what you can get when you can get it! So not ringing in the bells this year was quite alright with us. There is always next year and the many years after that! We were pleased to hear all about our friends and families stories though! Good times!
January 4th brought back the work week for both Jason and I and Kennedy back at daycare. Kennedy is all grown up. We celebrated her first birthday on November 7th (the day after her REAL birthday) with a Backyardigans themes birthday party. It was a blast. We had a pinatta for my nephew, Kelan, and had several different things set up to entertain the kiddies (even though there were only a few in attendance). Nonetheless, Kennedy had a fabulous time and received way too many presents, but what are birthday's for! She now eats ALL table foods and is really becoming Miss Independent. She is on the move and there is no slowing her down. She is walking all over the place (without holding on or holding hands) and is always chasing after the dogs. She is all about music and her favorite thing right now is DANCING to Beyonce "Single Ladies (put a Ring on it)" and it is hilarious. However, every time I try to record her doing it, she stops and goes on to something else. Trust me when I tell you the funniest thing ever. She even slaps her hands on her legs and squats, shaking her ghetto booty (or lack of in Kennedy's case)! I will keep trying to get in on camera, so keep looking for the clip. We go back to the doctor on January 5th for a check-up on Baby Gardner 2, and no we don't know the sex of the baby, and if we do decide to find out, we ARE NOT telling anybody. It seems as if we have so much to do and so little time to do it in.
With the loss of both of my grandmother's (now having no grandparents alive) and an Uncle, we sure could use a bit of a break. However, God does work in mysterious ways and even though it isn't always what we want or ask for, it is what is best in his eyes. We do have high hopes that this year, 2010, brings us fabulous memories, great times, and a million moments of happiness. I know for Jason and I, nothing is taken for granted anymore and life is way too precious to be missing out on such blessings. We hope you and your family ALL have a fabulous year ahead of you!
