December

We had a fantastic December. This month Kate laughed out loud for the first time which was really cool. She didn't care a bit about Christmas but she loved having Daddy home so much more. We are finally getting settled in our new house all though everything is far from unpacked. Can't wait until next year when Christmas will really be fun for her.

A great picture we took by the Christmas trees at church. (Don't ask my why Annie has her fingers in Joel's ear) It's a good thing Joel has a good hold on Kate because shortly after this Annie hopped up not realizing Kate couldn't sit there all on her own.

I told Annie this year she could pick between decorating cookies or making a gingerbread house. She chose gingerbread houses so she and Joel came over to decorate them. We had so much fun and made such a mess! Although Annie declared that she liked decorating cookies better because she could eat them and that's what she is choosing next year.

Kate and Grampy take many naps together just like this.
