Christmas Eve was spent with Michael's family
Christmas morning we started off by taking Kate downstairs, showing her all of the fun presents to open, but all she wanted to do was eat her "vities" (the same vitamins she has been taking daily for weeks now) which have been hiding in her Frosty the Snowman stocking. Once the vities were down, we proceeded with the gifts. I now know that I need not spend time shopping for Michael, because he was much more entertained with Kate's toys than he was with anything else. :o)I finally got the waffle maker I have asked for and we started a new family tradition of Christmas breakfast waffles. After relaxing mid-day naps, we skyped my family in Cali and Kate sang to them, showing off her new toys...we headed over to the in-laws to see the rest of the family for more food, gifts and fun. Kate and Ally played together all night (two hours past Kate's bedtime too); they were too cute!
Kate adores her new FurReal elephant friend, aptly named Dumbo (Daddy was extra proud of himself for making this find). Later on we found Kate sitting by the window. She had lined up several animals to mourn the death of Frosty. She seemed to be ok with this though, since the song does say "he waved good bye, sayin don't you cry, I'll be back again someday"!
Do I have to go to bed now, Mama?! It's Christmas!

Car ride to Somerset Mall this morning...the sun was apparently in her eyes
Waiting patiently in line at Banana Republic...there was a sale until noon, so those who qualified received a tag to hold on to. Kate wanted to share it with everyone who walked by...I think she should be a hat model...
Did you get a new camera? Great pics! You are a beautiful mommy!
