Savannah's B-day and Party

Savannah turned 10 on Sunday (Dec. 14th). She has a pj party on Friday night with three of her friends. They watched part of a movie while eating pizza, decorated cookies, and played balloon games. She was happy with the way it turned out. To see pictures click on over to our cyber photo book.

She is too Cute!



This will be used as her official "I am 1" picture. The picture was taken by Joe's sister Teddie at Karena and Steve's Wedding Reception. This picture is just too cute not to share.

She is walking, trying to talk, and in to everything. Like all kids, she can be so cute and sweet or tantrum city. If Joe or I are getting after one of the other kids she will put in her two cents as well. Many times I am not sure who she is tell off. If only we could understand what she was saying.

Family Holiday Letter

Dear Family and Friends,

Since I seem to be struggling with getting things done and Savannah was willing to help, I put her in charge of writing a letter to include in our Christmas cards. The following is her letter as she typed it. I did not change/fix anything.

This year has gone by very fast it seems like every year just goes the same boring way and everyone is growing so fast. It seems like one day someone’s one age and the next day there another age then happens another and then another happens. What I’m trying to say is the year has gone so fast. I feel like I haven’t done anything with anyone very special this year except spending Christmas with you all my friends and family.

It feels so good to celebrate Christmas with you all. What is the true meaning of Christmas? It is spending time with the ones that you love so very dearly and celebrating the wonderful birth of our savior Jesus Christ our big brother and our example. I know that everyone will have a good Christmas and love one another. And be careful with the words they say and the actions they do and the way they care for one another in the home.

The recap on what the family wants for Christmas: first up is Kiley can’t tell you what she wants yet. Next up: Savannah I want a MAGIC BULLET. Next up: Joe wants a Nintendo DS. Next up is: Rebecca she wants a littlest pet shop VIP to go online with. Next up is: Dad He wants a new Ipod. Next up is: Mom she wants a new blender and food saver and all the other stuff that goes with food storage. So there’s what the family wants for Christmas.

The real recap on what’s up with the McKnight’s: Savannah’s birthdays next Sunday and she is really excited because she’s having a birthday party on Friday. Kiley is starting to walk and say words and my mom is trying to teach Kiley to use the bathroom toilet when she says Poo-Poo. (I have done this only once!) Joe he thinks he is 6 1/2 but his birthday is not till next February 24, 2009. Rebecca has lots of school work and she tries. Mom she is still working cleaning and shopping. Dad is at work most of the day and he only gets about 5minutes to say hello and then he has to say goodnight only after 6 minutes of being home. It’s good and all for one and one for all for the family and friends.

We wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. You can catch up with us all year long on our Family Blog at http://emilymcknight.blogspot.com. You can see pictures of us in our Cyber Photo Book at http://mightymcknights.spaces.live.com.
