Christmas Traditions

Now that Kate is older I want to establish some Christmas traditions with her that we can continue for years to come. Starting with making gingerbread boy cookies.....

Helping decorate the Christmas tree


Carly joins in the fun, too!

They were both a little unsure of Santa. Of course this is Kate's third picture with Santa, now.This was with my own camera. The picture we bought was a lot nicer!

May you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving pics


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration in both Grapevine and Abilene. Kate really enjoyed playing with all of her cousins!

Here is Aubrey, Kate and Isabelle. Kate just looks like trouble. She was being so silly when we took this picture. These three girls are really growing up!

Here are all the Tate grandkids

Here is Lauren, Lindsey and Zack on Thanksgiving day in Abilene. What a good looking group!

Here are all the cousins with Nannie. Carly really admired Nannie.

Kate and Cole were outside when it was really cold playing with their little nets. Kate was having so much fun, even though it doesn't look like it. She was catching balls with her little net with Cole. Cole was being really sweet helping her, too. Thank you Mom Mom for playing outside with them!

Earlier this week Kate and Carly were playing in the laundry basket. It doesn't get any better than this!

Yesterday, I gave Kate her first ponytail! It made her look like such a big girl! Her hair is really fine so it makes it hard to put it all up, but we did it!
