Thanksgiving week!!!

Thanksgiving week was so much fun this year! Mommy and Daddy took off work and I got to celebrate with all 3 of my cousins, Aunts, Uncles and Grama and Papa Fimmen. We had really good food, played like crazy and laughed a lot. We played hide and go seek a lot, ran around like crazy, tried on jewelry, played with Grama yips in her bathroom, took bathies, walked and had a blast! I can’t wait until Christmas time!

Chuck-E-Cheese with TOM!

We all went to Chuck-E-Cheese this week and had SO much fun! It was Tom, Meghan, Uncle Tom, Aunt Carolyn, Grama, Papa, Daddy, Mommy and me! We played lots of games and ate really good pizza there. Papa even won us some prizes…footballs! I can’t wait to go back with Tom over Christmas!

Fimmen Family Portraits

My Mom, Aunts and Grama had a great idea to take all 4 of us cousins to the portrait studio for professional pictures so we could have some of us all together and some with Grama and Papa. Boy, was it stressful for me. I love my photographer “Jason” – I even asked for him by name because I remember him from my last pictures. BUT, for some reason I get really freaked out when it is actually picture time. I would much rather be playing with the fun Lego table in the waiting area!

I think I may have messed up the pictures….hope no one is too upset! I am the only cousin who did not get pictures alone….I was crying uncontrollably by then.

Wonder why...

I was so scared this year...
- 2009 Santa (looks like Santa got a makeover)!

And not last year....that Santa was creepy!!

- 2008 Santa

Needless to say, Mommy and Daddy have decided to take me to the expensive Santa next year again and not the creepy mall one like we did last year!

Love,

Kate

I LOVE SANTA!!

Can't you tell...

Mom and Dad took me to a photographer who does Santa pictures in one day! Aunt Jenny and Anna met us there and I was really excited. I ate lots of fun treats while I waited. I even wore my headband for Santa to see! BUT...when it was my turn and I saw Santa I kinda freaked out!! I said..."mommy, mommy, mommy" over and over and when they put me next to Santa I lost it! They said Santa left the room, but I knew he was right behind me!! He can't trick me! Daddy got the whole thing on video if you want to see it....everyone seemed excited to watch it! I do LOVE Santa though...did you see my shirt?!

Love,

Kate

Christmas tree!

I can not wait until Christmas. In fact, our house is decorated so pretty just waiting for Santa Clause! I even have my very own pink tree with ornaments in my room and I love it when mom and dad turn it on for me at night. I sit right in front of it and stare...I love to line up Lamby and Bella to watch the pretty tree too!

As soon as we get home I remind mom and dad to turn the "lights on" all the trees and garland in our house and even a really cool snowman! I think mom loves Christmas as much as I do because she keeps talking about it and keeps going shopping for Christmas!

I will post some pictures soon!

Chocolate Moo Moo

When I was a little girl and stopped drinking formula I decided I would refuse milk. It just plain disgusted me and I would gag and spit it up whenever mom or dad would try to give it to me. So, everyone tried to fill be with calcium in all sorts of ways: lots of cheese, yogurt, juice and crackers with calcium...all sorts of things! Well, I now will drink chocolate moo moo (milk in disguise although mom and dad don't call it milk...I think to try to trick me) all the time and LOVE it!! I have been on the moo moo kick for a few months now and chug it down like it is the best thing ever! The funny thing is that I know the difference between the real thing (chocolate milk that is brown when mom and dad buys it ) versus white milk they try to add chocolate too. I only eat the brown stuff from the store...the good stuff! The rest is gross!

ABCD....

I think I have forgotten to mention I can sing my ABCs and count to 16 or even more! I am getting to be a BIG girl!

Vaccinated!

Thanks to those darn PIGS I had to get vaccinated for the H1N1 virus….formerly called “swine flu”! Mommy won the mommy of the year award and stood in line with me for 2 ½ hours with thousands of other good mommy’s and daddy’s. The bad news was we were out in the cold about 2 hours of that time….good news is it is all over! We were 600 of the 1800 people that got vaccinated on Halloween morning! It was crazy…a line as far as your eye could see! At one point mommy got nervous because a police officer was coming around and telling every one that the tow trucks were starting to tow cars parked illegally and in certain store parking lots. Luckily we were safe….although mom decided she would rather get towed and pay the $300 to get the car out than to step out of line! I was such a good girl and stayed in my stroller the entire 2 1/2 hours...mommy was SO proud of me!

I am so glad that is all over…EXCEPT, kiddos my age need to get to vaccinations, so it sounds like we will have to do that all over again since doctors offices are not getting the vaccines! YUCK!

My Second Halloween!!

This was my second Halloween and I have to say this is the COOLEST holiday yet! We had so much fun and I got CANDY! Candy cool…I even have a favorite…kit kats! Mmmmm!

Grama, Papa, Grama Vicki, Papa Dick, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob Rob and Anna all came over for a big Halloween party at our house. Dad made my great grandpa’s famous chili and we all had so much fun! The neighborhood had a parade we all walked in. We carved pumpkins…and I even helped! I kept telling Daddy it was his turn to get all the guts out, but I liked it too. Then we went trick-or-treating! We would go up to the doors, knock and sometimes I would say “trick or treat”, other times I would just say thank you or try to walk into their house! It was really cool though.

I loved my lambie costume – it was really warm and everyone thought I looked really cute! I can’t wait until next Halloween so I can get more candy…although I have lots left!!!

Love,
Kate
