Happy New Year!

2011 was our best year yet!  We can't wait to see what 2012 brings!!

And so this is Christmas

Kate had a great First Christmas!  She had fun visiting with friends and family and got more presents than she knows what to do with!

 

 Grandma Sand is hilarious!

 Do you have a license to drive that?

10 Months

Kate turned 10 months this week!

 This is the best I could get!

 Then I got this..

And this was how it ended.

Holiday Helper

Kate has been a huge help around the house over the past few weeks!

 She is an enthusiastic shopping partner.

 She enjoys "reorganizing" the kitchen cabinets.

She likes to help her dad cook.

And, she loves to flush the toliet!

Action Shots

When Kate was born Drew got me a nice camera.  I'm finally starting to experiment with the different settings, shutter speeds and lighting options.  I still have NO idea what I'm doing but am having lots of fun playing!  It also helps having a charming subject :)

Alright, mom, enough with the pictures already.

Just Add Snow

Kate is ready for winter weather!

A Tooth and A Tree!

Kate cut her first tooth today!  She celebrated with a much anticipated petite filet for dinner :)  We also got and decorated our Christmas tree!
