And We're Back!

So, we've been "MIA" for a while in the blogging world. Sorry! We've just been busy I guess. Let's see. Kate had her first Thanksgiving. We spent it at our house, just the three of us (excuse me...the four of us. Lu Lu was there, too!). We missed being with our families on that day, but it was nice not having to travel and just being able to relax at the house.

Daddy got the Christmas tree down that evening. Here is a picture of Mommy and Kate in front of it. No decorations were on the tree yet, but we did manage to get some up before Christmas!


Daddy was leaving for the deer lease the next day (Friday after Thanksgiving) so Mommy and Kate went to Delta County to have Thanksgiving with Mommy's family. Here is a picture of Kate and her festive shirt. (Mommy is thankful for Kate, too!)

That Sunday was Allison Jane's baby dedication at Fielder Road Baptist Church. Mommy and Kate went to that. Kate did so good at church. Here are some pictures of her with Mimi and Pawpaw that day.

We made a trip to Conroe the first weekend in December for Avery's (Blaine and Nicole's little girl) first birthday party. Here are some pictures of us at Mimi Walton and Boppy's house. Taylor is so excited for her sister to arrive. Alli will be here any day now, and I know Taylor is going to be wonderful with her. She is so good with Kate.


We've also spent several Sundays watching the Cowboys lose. We still support them, though!

Kate got to meet Santa Claus. We went to Northpark Mall with Aunt Kim, Caroline and Allison Jane. This has to be the realest Santa that I've ever seen. Kate did really good in his lap, however I have a feeling that she may be screaming next year!



Here are some pictures of us on Christmas Eve after church, then in Christmas pj's (and hat...she looked like Strawberry Shortcake!), and Christmas morning before we left to go to Conroe.


I guess all of our celebrating wore this little baby out!


Here some other sweet pictures of Kate and her cousins.

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy new year! We feel truly blessed to have Kate in our lives and cannot wait to see what 2011 has in store for us. God bless you all.
