Inaguration Day

We got to slow down a little bit this weekend!  Kate squeezed in a trip to the zoo and the park before the deep freeze set in today. 

 Kate was trying SO hard to get into our neighborhood elementary school on a walk.  This hit a little to close to home so I have decided Kate is not going to school.  She is staying home with us forever :)

Our darling date for dinner.

2013 is off to quite a start!  Here are some of the highlights of the the last few weeks for Kate:

 Kate still loves to bake!

 And, of course, eat sweets :)

 Fun in the water at the DuPage Children's Museum

 Showing off her new apron.

Choo-Choo ride with Grandma Eder.

So This is Christmas

Kate had a wonderful Christmas!  She got to see lots of family and friends and got many wonderful presents.  I think she would like Santa to come more then once a year! 

 Hurry, Grandma!  I've got more presents to open!

Just Dance

With the stress of the holidays, sometimes you just have to dance.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We have been spending the last couple of weeks enjoying the nice weather and getting ready for Christmas!

 Someone in this house needs to be handy!

 One chocolate chip for me, one for the cookies.

  Kate loves a "choo choo".

 An evening stroll with Dora the Explorer.

Kate and I made a gingerbread house!

So Big

Sometimes an outfit that Kate has on or a position that she is standing in make her look particularly big and it catches me off guard.  When did our baby get so big?
