Christmas Eve!

Grama Vicki, Papa Dick, Uncle Chris, Gigi and Gipa all came to our house for Christmas Eve and I was so excited! This is the first Christmas Eve we have ever had at our house and it turned out to be a lot of fun! The weather was getting bad on Christmas Eve, so I am so glad everyone could make the trip to Kansas City. We ate lots of good food…appetizers (mom made me DIP!!), lasagna, Papa’s famous Caesar salad and bread and lots of good desserts (pies and cheesecake)!

Present time…Gigi and Gipa (my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa) got me lots of fun stuff…a baby doll and stroller, a really cool pretend fish tank that looks like it has real fishies in it, a mickey mouse doll and some other fun stuff! We opened their presents early so they could get driving back to Pittsburg before the blizzard came! Luckily, they got home safely….thank you for everything Gigi and Gipa! I love you!

Uncle Chris got me a leap frog learning system with books that go along with it, a pretty dress and some tights…you will not believe it, but a really nice lady (Aunt Molly) who works with Uncle Chris even sent me a present straight from NYC! She sent me the cutest Baby Gap outfit that is so soft and comfy! Thank you Aunt Molly…hopefully I will meet her one day!

Grama Vicki and Papa Dick got me too many presents to name…a baby doll thay goes in the bathy that I love (she even pees), lots of fun stuff to play with my babies, a pink fort, an easel and lots of coloring stuff, a table and chairs (that I helped Papa Dick put together), a microwave and lots of kitchen stuff, a medical kit and lots of clothes!! WOW….am I spoiled or what???

Since I got so many presents, mommy and daddy decided to turn the office/guest room into an office/playroom! I will have to show you pictures later, but it is so cool!! Daddy, Papa Dick and Uncle Chris all carried out the bedroom stuff to get my room all ready…YIPPEE!

The baby doll Grama and Papa got me that goes in the bathtub has a hole in its bottom – I was so excited to see this that I ran to the bathroom and got out my thermometer and put it on the babies bottom to take its temp…everyone thought that was really funny. I just wanted to make sure the baby was not sick!

Thank you everyone for such a FUN Christmas Eve and for all the presents. I love you all and can not wait until the next get together!
Love,
Kate

More cousin pictures...

More about the cousins...

I almost forgot some fun details I never want to forget. Tom and I sang “Jingle Bell Rock” all week long and would wear the jingle bells Grama had around our neck and shake them as we sang! Grama and Papa kept trying to get pictures of them with all 4 of us kiddos…some of the pictures were really funny! Tom and I would help Papa with his famous Caesar salad and say “bam” (like Emeril) as we threw the parmesan cheese on the salad…we love to help Papa! We love to sit under tables or under the easel and pretend we are driving to “Hallmark” to see mommy at work…even when mommy is sitting right next to us. Tom and I both had highchairs in the kitchen and we would sit across the room from each other to eat meals...it was pretty funny!
Love,

Cousins!

I just LOVE my cousins: Tom, Meghan and Anna and love it when we are all together! Everyone was here all of last week through Christmas and we had so much fun playing with each other! We played pool in Grama and Papa’s basement, read books, danced, played with toys, played hide and seek, I got to hold my baby cousins…we had so much fun!
Love,

It's Christmas Time!

I think Christmas time might just be my favorite time of year (just like my mommy)! I get to go to lots of parties (and I love parties), all my family visits, there are lots of presents, we get to eat great food and I get to play with my cousins! I almost forgot…at this time of year it seems like Mom and Dad let me stay up later to party with them!
Love,

Ponytail!

Mommy recently did my hair in a ponytail and pigtails for the first time. I did not let her keep them in very long though (I love to pull out the holders!)...even though mom and Dad said I looked SUPER cute! Here is a picture of the ponytail!
Love,
Kate
