Kennedy got some dress up clothes from Mema and Papa Sanford. She really liked the shoes. Stacey helped her put them on and showed her how to walk in them.
Walking in them was a bit challenging. Kennedy liked the click click click of the heels when she walked on the kitchen floor.

Robin got a karaoke system as a Christmas present. It was quite the popular present. Kennedy sat on Uncle Darrin's back while he sang and sang and sang his heart out.
Then Kennedy sang. Her favorite song was Row, Row, Row your Boat but she also belted out songs from her Music Together class, in particular the Hello Song.

Kennedy's Aunt Patty polished her finger and toe nails for the first time ever during our holiday visit to Texas. We were all surprised that Kennedy sat still enough. She barely moved an inch. Afterwards Kennedy would show her polished nails and say "Patty did it" and then sing the "Happy Birthday to you" song. We all sang it for Patty's birthday and Kennedy associated the song with Patty.

Here are Kennedy and her Aunt Shelly looking at holiday picutres and videos. Melissa, a neighbor of my parents, and Mom are in the background.
Mom's been trying to get someone in the family interested in cooking the Sanford family cake and thus preserving a century old tradition. The problem is that none of the kids like this cake. My sister Shelly says this cake is 8 months short of a fruit cake and I'd say that's an accurate statement. None of the kids would even eat it when we were little, and we would eat anything including, apparently, sticks of butter! Dad, on the other hand, craves the cake. He loves it!
Turns out Kennedy likes the cake too. Go figure... Here's Papa feeding her yet another piece of cake.
Papa finally asked Shelly to get Kennedy her own piece of cake. She would eat a piece, go play and then come back and say "I need that" and point to the cake. Ah well, here's a cake that all of the rest of us will eat though, the German chocolate cake.

Our nephew Ryan is such a fun young man! He's turned in to quite the tennis player, singer and is something of a braniac. He's just gotten his driver's learning permit.
His sister Heather is a student at Sam Houston State University. Kennedy adores Heather. They have a lot of fun together.

When we visit Houston we love to eat at the Spanish Flower. The food and service are great. In addition to hot, fresh, yummy tortillas, they also have excellent Mariachi music. Here's a picture of Kennedy and Stacey and one of the three mariachi singers.

All of the holiday pictures are on Susan's computer and I haven't had time to transfer them to mine yet, so I'm going current. Today we spent the afternoon and evening with Grandparents Anderson and celebrated a belated Christmas. Here's Kennedy opening one of her gifts.

On Friday before Christmas a good portion of the family joined us to see the Nutcracker Ballet. Kennedy had a blast (we all did!) and loves to talk about the Nutcracker Ballet.
Kennedy and Stacey enjoying the ambiance at the theater.
Here are Stacy and Carl posing before the performance.
It was all so much to take in for little Kennedy - she loved every minute of it and crashed hard at the very end.
After the ballet, we headed over to a Japanese hibachi restaurant for a little fun and family at dinner. Here is Shelly and her daughter Robin.
We had a large crowd and were happy to celebrate Patty's birthday.
Here we are at dinner - we had a great time!
Bed Head!! More updates soon!
