In the know...

It has been awhile since I did an update...here you go:

• I say "gross" to anything spooky or scary or ugly
• My favorite foods are dip, cheetos and cookies...."uh oh" says mommy!!
• When Papa Dick was watching me the other day I headed out the garage door and when Papa Dick asked me where I was going I said " Going to Jalepenos for Dip". My favorite food at my favotite restaurant....all the Horton's were proud when they heard!! Mommy thinks I have a lot of "Horton" in me....whatever that means!
• I love my cousins...and miss my cousins Tom and wish he lived in Kansas....or, even in Missouri like Anna. I ask if Tom is at Grama's all the time.
• I love baby dolls. In fact, if you ask me what I want Santa to bring I will say "presents", then "toys", then "baby dolls" . I name most my baby dolls "Mia" because Mommy named one of mine Mia and I love that name!!! I also have baby Bella though. Lambie is still my favorite! Than k you Larsons!
• My mom is so excited for my latest trick....when she picks me up from work I get so excited to see her. I run to see her and then say..."Mommy's cany, where did it go?", then run to the drawer and find a peppermint patty and give it to mommy. She is such a good mommy that she gives me a bite...or two. Everyone is so suprised a girl my size LOVES peppermint patties!!! YEH SUGAR!!!
• I love looking at catalogs and ads! Grama is so great and saves all the Sundat newspaper ads for me to look at. I love looking at toys and tell Grama what "Kate has", what "Kate Wants" and what 'Anna wants" (have to look out for my baby cousin)> My favorite catalog is from Toys R Us. I pick out all the great toys and LOVE to pick out SHAQ!!! Shaquille O'Neil is my favorite....he is a big man who plays basketball and does some advertising with TRU! I really like Shaq!
• I love Target and love to shop there and point it out whenever we drive by it. I love to give the bog red balls hugs! I even recognize the advertisements and the shopping bags. I LOVE Target!
• Sometimes I get boo boos and I want Grama, Daddy or mommy to kiss them. It makes them feel better!
• I have been getting a little bit shy lately and I will cry if a large crowd of people get around me and laugh. Especially if my mommy or daddy laugh too....it makes me sad
• Today was the girls night (and husbands) Xmas party!! I had so MUCH fun! I was such a good girl and was so nice and entertaining to everyone that mom and Dad let me stay up until 10pm!!! WOW! I love a party and act on my best behavior so no one remembers it is WAY past my bed time!!! I can't wait until I am old enough to host my own parties!!!!

Love,

Kate

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.

Love,

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!
Love,
Kate
