Cousin Kensie

This year cousin Kensie and Aunt Melanie came up for a Christmas visit. They came for family time and also to see The play the Matt's mom(Carolyn) directed at her church. This was a great weekend to catch up and hang out with the two girls. This is Corbin and Addie's only cousins. We were sorry that Karter (older brother) and Karl were not able to come and visit.

Kensie is awsome with little ones. You could tell she really liked holding, feeding, and even changing Addie. I really liked getting to know this different side of Kensie. She has grown so tall and will soon be a beautiful young lady.

Melanie seems to be never changing. Always the exceptional sister, happy to help and serve anytime. I cannot believe that Melanie and Karl will have their 10th wedding anniversary this June. Melanie gave us Butterscotch Brownies and Muffins. The Brownies were amazing and I am saving the muffin mix for a savory breakfast.

As usual Melanie, Karl, Kensie, and Karter picked out noise makers for the children. :) Corbin got this cool laser gun and it goes boing and ping. yay Corbin also got kiss me elmo, so cute. Addie got this frog that talks. She loves to squeeze and lay on the frog. More than the presents the kids received I loved the reaction Kensie had opening her blanket. Don't have a picture to show but I made fleece blankets for Karter and Kensie. Karter got a hunter orange/soccer ball blanket and Kensie got a lipstick/cheer leading blanket. I'll have to have Melanie send me a picture of the two with their blankets.

We had a great dinner with the porter's and murphy's Sat. Ribs, mashed potatoes, and much more. Sunday we went to the play. Carolyn and the participants did an outstanding job. Keith and her worked so hard to get everything perfect. I love family time.
