Kate went to the farm!

Mommy took me to Aunt BiBi's farm so I could play with the horsies and donkey's and cow! I had sooooo much fun. I even got to ride one of the horsies! It was my favorite day ever!! I hope we go back very soon!

And they have LOTS of cute little doggies for me to play with too! I am such a country girl! I think I may be a vetrinarian when I grow up!

My Nina and Aunt BiBi! I love them VERY much!

Aunt BiBi let me stir up all 7 of the horsies food bowls! I used this stick and then I felt like a REAL cowgirl! I liked to walk around with the stick to make me look like I was workin hard on the farm!

Tea Party

Having a fabulous day at our tea party! Her favorite plate is the "Cinderella" plate!

We even had crackers and water in our tea pot! She thought that was pretty cool!

Kate went and picked out her little bunny friend to join us in the tea party!

This is the best tea party ever!

Our hands are full!

I think we may have our hands full! She is addicted to talking on the phone. She laughs and chatters non-stop to NOBODY!!!

And she somehow knows where the buttons are to take pictures....I always have to delete random pictures that she has taken!

This sweet and innocent face still seems to get in trouble quite a bit and needs to spend some time in "time-out"!

It's the cutest thing ever! I know I shouldn't say that, but she instantly behaves and sits perfectly still and quiet until I tell her it's okay to get up. And then she says "sorry" and gives me a kiss! It really melts my heart. And it seems to work a WHOLE lot better than spankings!

We can't leave out Emma!

Kate's best friend, Emma! We sure do love our "Memma" ( as Kate puts it!)

Daddy and his 2 girls!!!

Kate hiding behind the tree!

Peekaboo!

Kate's special Christmas dress!

Our wonderful neighbor made Kate this special Christmas dress for her to wear! It was adorable on her and so classy! She loves wearing these dresses!

Deep in thought!

Daddy and Kate overwhelmed with presents!

Daddy's little girl! Aren't they cute? I love them both sooo much!!!

Enjoying the moment!

Santa brought Kate 3 Princess cell phones!! What a lucky little girl! She LOVES talking on the phone! I think we may have our hands full later on!!

Mommy made a yummy Christmas morning breakfast: Egg Sausage Souffle'! Kate loved it! But then again, what doesn't she love to eat!?

After our bath, Kate got to open ALL her gifts from Boppy and Popa! She loved all of her toys!

Daddy reading to Kate one of her new books from Boppy and Popa!

Christmas Morning

"HO HO HO"!!! Kate loves anything with Santa on it! Anytime she sees Santa, she says "HO HO HO"!! She was super happy the morning she woke up for Christmas! Almost like she knew what today was!

Santa brought her a little puppy to pull around! She loved it!

WOWY!!! Look at all the presents!

Mommy and Kate rockin the "morning look"!! Opening our stockings!

The night before Christmas, and all through the house....

Mommy and daddy on Christmas Eve!

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!

The Stockings were hung by the chimney with care....

In hope that St. Nick would soon be there!

Family shots!

Kate loves her Auntie ALaina! Auntie Alaina plays with her all sorts of games and dolls and tea party!!!! They are very good friends!

And Kate is finally starting to like Uncle Daniel! It took her a while to warm up to him. I think the facial hair always scares her for some reason. But they are buds now!

Kate and her Aunt BeBe!!! I think Kate takes after her Aunt BeBe in regards to her "animal loving"!! They share a common bond!

Matt, Jessie, Ni'na, James and Mike! The Lewis Clan!

Gearing up for the Christmas festivities

Kate and I met my dear college roommate and friend, Abigail, for breakfast a couple days before Christmas! We had a great time visiting with her and playing!!! Kate loved Abigail's sparkley sweater! But Kate was also VERY tired since we missed her morning nap so we could see Abigail while she was in town! I just love my friends! I hope and pray that Kate is blessed with as many great friends as I have been!

Our dining room table set up for Christmas Eve! I made a whole bunch of cookies and punch for everyone to munch on....and then later that night, Dave's family tradition on Christmas EVe is to order pizza and play games. We had a great time!

More pictures of the table!
