A Baby Girl Is.......

Great Day for a Tea Party

Today was a great day for lounging around. We are expected to have a pretty big storm coming our way, so we just laid low and had a great day at home. Katie had her first tea party with all her friends. The boys were not interested in joining her, but she had a fabulous time!

Merry Christmas!

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Max loved reading Katie her first Christmas Story: Twas the Night Before Christmas.

A Gingerbread House

We had so much fun making our Christmas tree that we decided to do a Gingerbread house. We had an absolute blast making the house!

Our Gingerbread Tree

We had a fabulous time decorating our gingerbread tree. My budding artists put a lot of thought into exactly how they wanted it to be! A great time was had by everyone!

My Hard Working Girl!

Katie is working to hard with her physical therpaist to do all the exercises she is supposed to do! She is my hard working girl!

You Can't Just Have One Christmas Dress

I always knew that having a little girl would be fun, but I didn't know it would be this much fun! Katie wears a dress nearly everyday. It is probably a good thing because she has several Christmas dresses! We are enjoying them all!

An Outfit to Remember!

I am envisioning this outfit to be one that Katie looks back on with disapproval! Her facial expression seems to say it all! I love it!

My Sleepy Girl

I had to make another page with my beautiful girl wearing my 1st Christmas dress! So special!

My Little Angel

I don't have too many photos of me as a baby. However, I am lucky enough to have a few things that mean a lot! Here is a photo of Katie wearing a dress that MY Grammy made me for my very first Christmas in 1975. It is a very special thing to me because my grandmother is the person who taught me how to sew. She was a very special woman that, sadly, we lost when I was only 19 years old. I cannot begin to imagine how much she would have loved on little Katie if she were still with us today! I miss her, but it makes my heart happy to see my little Katie wearing something that she stitched with lots and lots of love!

Decorating Our Tree (Part 2)

Katie was taking her nap while we did most of the tree decorating. The boys were pretty upset that "she didn't get to help". We solved that problem by saying that it was Katie's job to put the Minnie angel on top of the tree!

Decorating Our Tree (Part 1)

Decorating our tree was a several step process. The kids had a great time putting up the tree and decorating it.
