The finished product. So beautiful!
I used the same pattern for both of the girls dresses (but Kailey's was out of eyelet material and had pink ribbon threaded through it), but I just noticed that it is a McCall's pattern. Coincidence? I think not.
Troy's parents came to our house and gave Troy (and the girls) this sled.
Grandma Parkin and the girls
Later, we drove to Mendon to see my side of the family. Kailey always loves to see her cousins. Here is a rare moment when they are sitting quietly (Kailey, Lydia, Daniel, Russell, and my sister Amber).
Kailey and Lydia
Kailey wanted to play Nintendo with her cousins (James and Steve)...little does she know it isn't plugged in.
She really thought she was playing. Not bad for never even seeing Nintendo before.
McCall kept busy posing for the camera with her cousin Jade in their Christmas outfits.
Hung out with the cousins (Lydia and McCall)...
and went sledding in all of that beautiful SNOW!
What a great Christmas!
This is McCall and her adorable cousin Cody (Troy's brother's son)
This is Troy's sister Tonya and her little boy Jeff. Then me and McCall of course.
Some of Kailey's favorite gifts were her Pom Poms...
and of course her green faux fur purse and her two two (sp?)
She played with her new toys but had just as much fun taking the wrapping paper to the trash...
This is her dusting off her hands on the way back from the garbage...she made at least 6 trips!
We had a great time and can't wait for next year!
Grandma and Grandpa Brandley (my Mom and Dad) had lots of smiles for McCall...
and she had lots for them!
We all eat dinner and then we have a Program. My dad has 10 brothers and each family tries to do something for the program. One of my favorites is my Uncle Jared. Every year since I can remember he has recited "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". He is an actor at heart and quite the performer. It is always the kids favorite part except for...
the NATIVITY!!! As traditions goes the couple with the youngest baby gets to be Marry and Joseph...well Troy and I missed it by a week. My cousin and his wife had their baby a week after we had McCall. LOL! 
Oh, well at least Kailey and I got to be ANGELS.
My nephews James, Daniel, and Russell (who didn't want to be a wise man)
This is Russell as a "Spaceship"!
My oldest sister Amber and her husband Ryan putting on their costumes.
Kailey and her cousin Lydia as Angels.
Aunt Heidi (my youngest sister) helped me with these two until it was our turn to go on stage (did I mention that there are so many people at the party that we have to have it at a stake center).
Here is Kailey waving as she screams "DADA!"
McCall and I got some rest (well, she got some rest and I took down my Christmas decorations)
