Christmas Day

Stockings have been stuffed by Santa! Thank goodness Mom finished Lexi's just in the nick of time on Christmas Eve

Reindeer ears did not earn any smiles ...
from either one of them!

So adorable in the Santa Hat!

Just loved this outfit!

Christmas Eve at the Kenny's

Going to bed so that Santa will come!

Early Christmas in Bakersfield

What a wonderful gift! Lexi's Aunt Leigh, Uncle Rob and Cousins had a flag flown over the capital in her honor ON THE VERY DAY that her adoption was finalized in court! They folded the flag and put it in a gorgeous flag case along with a certificate for her... it is incredible!

Grandma helping Lexi open some gifts!

Uncle Sean teaching Lexi all about electronics!

She didn't care what she opened as long as she got to rip paper!

Playing with the cousins

Lexi really liked playing with Ronan's dinosaurs

And playing with Ally's kitchen


Ronan's last basketball game of the season

Ally thinks she is the team's superstar

While Lexi just wanted to nap...

What a great judge, he let us take lots of pictures. He said he even cleaned off the couch so all the cousins would have a place to sit. Thanks to everyone!

Family Heritage

This is the most beautiful dress. It was origianally made by her great grandmother Molly for Brendan's mom. Mary has had it for 60+ years and saving it for JUST the RIGHT occassion. Alexis looks beautiful in it!

Crawlin' crawlin' crawlin!

Mom and Dad carved a super cute pumpkin... just like me!

Every baby MUST have a pumpkin bib on their first Halloween!

Really! Matching skeleton costumes????!!!

Colorado has pumpkins, snow and chili!

Lexi REALLY didn't like the snow! This is the saddest face EVER! Can you believe the snow? We came to Colorado to visit in the Fall for perfect weather... and we got SNOW?
