Winter Fun

Kate loved all the snow that we got out in Utah; she and Daddy and Grandpa had lots of fun sledding and playing outside. She especially loved all the lights, both in our neighborhood and at the Christmas village.

In her new coat, gloves, and hat from Nana.

This was at a house up the street from my parents; Kate loved it!

 Ready for sledding!

 This is at the Roy city fire station; so pretty!

Christmas Day!

Our Christmas Day was lots of fun. Kate was so excited to wake up and see the castle for the Little People princesses under the tree. She played with it for probably an hour, refusing all requests to come downstairs and see the stockings! Haha. But of course she loved all her other presents, too. We did our traditional Christmas Day activities, with stockings first, then breakfast, then the gifts under the tree (with the exception of the castle, which was already out as it was a Santa gift). Christmas with kids is always fun, and I thought this year was even better since Kate seemed to really "get it."

Christmas: Part Two

Our Christmas Eve was wonderful. The church service was fun, as always, and then we had a delicious dinner of Sauerbraten and spaetzel. Kate was so excited she could hardly take it, so it was fun for the rest of us to see her excitement!

 Look at this cutie! Too bad we didn't get a better shot of her dress; it was beautiful! White lace on the top, black lace on the bottom. So pretty! 

I don't know why Kate looks so sad in this photo!
