Our sweet friends Laura, Court, Devon, and Kerri threw us a party to celebrate the soon to be arriving Sydney Jane Ensley. I think they were all nervous I was going to go into labor any moment the entire time, but we made it! The party was Jan 9th, and I had Sydney Jan 15th. We had a great time!
She wasn't too sure about this but agreed to stay in the chair after she got her first lollipop AKA "pop"
OK, so the stylist looks a little tough in this picture, but I promise she was very nice and gentle!
Ahhh, the hairdryer feels good
All done! I felt like she looked like a little girl for the first time instead of a baby....bittersweet! She did wonderful, however, she aquired a love for lollipops after this trip. So now we eat pops anytime she gets her hair cut and at doctor visits.
Katelyn slept in her big girl room for the first time Jan 6th 2010~9 days before Sydney arrived
I think she likes it!
Group picture before presents!

Katelyn's Bitty Baby
Katelyn never let go of her baby that day once she got her out of the box, and she still sleeps with her every night. She would put her down and get distracted; then she'd say "Where my baby?" very dramatically
It was a great Christmas! 
My first baby stroller!
choo choos in my stocking!
Daddy got Bristol race tickets! 
One of the perks for having my birthday on Christmas ~ my very own cake...I decided to share in the spirit of the holidays
Mom always puts on a fabulous spread
Katelyn loved the choo choo train that circled the tree and whistled. Pretty cool!
Yea! I got a swing for my baby!
Time to open presents! There's my sweet Grandma

You want some gingerbread cookie, Mommy?
Santa brought me a car too! Someone was a very good girl this year! And that someone also has grandparents who spoil you, eh hem, love you!
Helping Daddy with the lights
Loving the ornaments!
Helping hang a few ornaments, and then take it back off the tree and run around the house with the ornament, then put it back on the tree
Yea! Our tree is finished!
It's starting to get cold enough to wear gloves and hats....winter time is here!
