Christmas!!!

Kate had sooo much fun on Christmas. She was so excited to open presents, she had to "help" everyone else with theirs too! It was nice to have Poppy here!









Little builder



I asked Kate to build me something and walked away. She came running through the house and said she had built me a house. Unfortunately, she knocked down part of it before I could take the picture and she rebuilt it. It was TOTALLY symmetrical the first time. She was so proud of herself and I can't believe how grown up she looks in these pictures!!

Meetup Christmas party

Kate and I are in a meetup for moms in our immediate area and have really enjoyed getting to know everyone. We had a kids' Christmas party and she had a blast. She mainly enjoyed eating but also made a sparkly Christmas ball, some reindeer food and a Rudolph puppet!



Future bowler, she got 2 out of 3 beanbags through Rudolph's nose and she meant business!



Catching up again!

I am such a bad blogger mom lately. I've been getting so much stuff done for Christmas and working on the three creative teams I'm on now which equals 7 layouts a month, Yikes! So here I am catching up again.

Kate got to see Santa TWICE this year and hugged him under the Christmas tree at the capital tree lighting too. She is sooo in love with him this year. She can't get enough.

We saw Santa first at the YMCA breakfast with Santa. Tova and Koran went with us and we had a great day. We weren't far back in the line at all. Kate walked right up, climbed up beside Santa and snuggled into him. I couldn't have asked for a better photo opportunity. Her happiness just shows! Here are the girls at the pancake breakfast, then riding the motorcycles at Budafest, Kate getting a pony ride and McDonald's after. It's so cool to see them having so much fun together. They've known each other since Tova was born!









Here's Kate with Santa at the mall:



And hugging him under the capital tree!
