Christmas & New Years 2007

We spent Christmas weekend in LA at Kim and Rick's with the family. So here we are during the sunny California Christmas!

Back home opening presents on Christmas morning. Katey was able to enjoy it a lot more this year. So fun!

For New Years we went to LA with some friends of ours from Las Vegas. We took them to a lot of our favorite places. They have a son who's almost a year younger than Kate. After church Sunday we went to IKEA and the Burbank mall. The kids both konked out in their strollers (which is super unusual for Kate who usually stays awake if anything is going on at all)!

Katey got hungry so we bought some tortillas from Chevy's. Yum!

Here we are at Hollywood and Highland. Kate didn't like the fountains. I think they scared her.

Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Christmas at Thanksgiving in New Mexico at Jason's mom and dad's house. This is Jason with Kate and niece Reagan.

Here are the other two cousins, Madison and Grant.

Jason making Reagan laugh! Pretty cute!

A Day at the Park

Well, we decided to go to the park now that the weather is so great! It's been in the 80s for the past few weeks! Nice compared to the 100s or 110s. It was a beautiful day! We discovered though, that Katey is afraid of the grass. Yeah, I know, wierd. She would cry as soon as we put her down and then we'd make her walk after us and she'd just cry the whole way and jump on the blanket as soon as we put it down. It took her quite a while to finally get used to it. I think having her older cousins there playing probably helped a lot!

Here's Katey helping Dada feed the newest cousin, Reagan.

Madison is a great helper with Kate and took her down the slide a bunch of times. Katey loves playing with the cousins, Madison and Grant.

Kate and Dada!

Miss Brave Independent. Oh boy!

The Fairy Princess!

Katey was a fairy for Halloween. The wings were supposed to be for a much bigger person but oh well, she was still adorable. We went to Jason's sister's church's Harvest Festival. It was huge with a lot of people from the community too. It was a really great outreach.

Kate and Mama!

Kate and Dada and her new thing of sticking her tongue out!

And the breakdown on the way to the Harvest Festival (pulled out pig tails and all). There was really bad traffic that night and it took us an hour to get to the church so she was NOT very happy!

Dad and Kate playing some games. Dad's pretty into it!

Naturally Curious!

Look at all those teeth!

"Mom, can I have that?"

"What're you doin' Mom?" Actually, this is Katey coming to give the camera kisses. She'll kiss anything!

Uh Oh!

I came in to get Katey this morning and somehow she had taken her pajama shirt off and tossed it on the floor. Nice Kate!

What a little joy!

Katey got a new big girl carseat! Yay! Now we can see her from the front seats which is really nice!

Dada and Kate dancing!

Just having fun!

Cute, I know!

And not so cute. This is what happens to her hair when she pulls her pony tails out. Not a good look! By the way, "Does this skirt make my butt look big?!"
