Merry Christmas!

Kate's second Christmas was much better than her first in terms of being awake and actually playing with new toys. Most of the toys she chose to pose with are not new OR not hers (such as the video camera in picture one). Everything was fun though! In the first picture is a gift bag that doesn't seem to be too "Christmasy." That is because it is from Kate's birthday and Kate just carries it around like it is her purse. We take it most places we take toys. In the second picture, a dog sits on the table with "sing and dance" on the box. Yep, it is a dog that sinces Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again." Fun the first fifteen times he played it. Now I just hum it throughout the day. The others are just for fun. She also enjoyed an old spatula, new (hand-me-down) blocks from her cousin Jeb, and other toys from days of old. Her new toys? Those will be pulled out periodically and we will act like they just arrived. I can maybe keep up that gig for the year. Next year, I am sure Santa will visit. Merry Christmas to all!
