Gingerbread

This holiday season I decided that I want to try and perfect lots of cookie recipes!  A few weeks ago I made iced sugar cookies and today I am making iced gingerbread cookies!  Here I am making the dough.....I will post the finished cookies later; the dough is in the fridge for 3 hours before I can cut them out and bake them!  There are a lot of steps in these cookies!!  I can't wait to try one!

Swim Meet: Fall Roundup

Today I had a swim meet.  It was really fun because a bunch of my friends were there too and we got to hang out and swim against each other.  I swam in 5 events and did great!  I even qualified for districts in the 50 Breast, 50 Free and 100 Back!!  I am improving my times each meet and getting better and better!

Hi Mia!!

Uncle Chris!!

Uncle Chris was in town last week and we were lucky enough to spend lots of time with him!  He arrived Thursday and we got to hang out and then go out to dinner at Jalepenos and then play games.  Then we got to spend time with him in Pittsburg on Saturday.  On his last night then he came back to our house for a steak dinner that Dad grilled out...we had lots of fun!  I can't wait to see you next Uncle Chris!

Headed to Pittsburg

Last weekend we went to Pittsburg to hang out with Uncle Chris, Nama Vicki, Papa Dick, Gigi and Gipa.  We had lots of fun eating at the mall deli, shopping, playing Family Feud and then chatting with Gigi and Gipa.  We forgot to take any pictures besides these with me and Mia driving there!

First basketball game of the season!!

LOL Dolls

The Stilley cousins are totally in love with LOL Dolls and after watching them open some, they look fun (well to open - not sure what to do with them after that).  I had some gift cards burning in my wallet and while mom and I were shopping in Target we ran into Addison Warn who just bought one (and was hiding it behind my back so I did not see - she must have been embarrassed) and then Aunt Jenny met us at Target and she was SO excited about them that I just had to get a few!!

Aunt Jenny showed me the trick to see if they were super rare and I get all excited dreaming that I got the super-duper rare one!  Aunt Jenny even came to our car to watch me open them!  One was rare and one was kinda special - but they were just as exciting to open as I had hoped! 

After this I have officially added them to my Christmas list!   I just have to figure out what to do with them after I unwrap them!!!

 

Love,

Kate
