Tis the Season

Nothing like the start of Spring to motivate me to update the blog. There has been quite a bit of backlash on my delay so without further ado, here is the first of several posts to get us up to date on the goings-on of Kate Brown.

Mia brought Kate back this fun Santa hat from one of the Christmas markets on her Rhine River cruise.  Very festive!

Kate found time in the hectic holiday season to host a playgroup with some of her music class buddies.  

Christmas Eve arrived and we headed over to Nana's house. Kate loved being the center of attention with all her second cousins.  They taught her many things that night, however looking at the camera was not one of them.

After the photos, the fun began.  Kate wasn't sure quite what to make of all the mayhem but she loved being right in the middle of it all.

She quickly learned that good things come in envelopes from Nana.

The whole gang!

Christmas morning began with seeing what Santa left in Kate's stocking.  

Then it was on to the presents which Kate quickly got the hang of opening.

Finally she has a bottle for her baby.  She knew exactly what to do.  

Looking at the photo album Grandma and Papa sent.

An oldie but a goodie - the popcorn pusher!

Nana came over to see all the fun toys Kate received.

I'll close this post with a video of one of Kate's favorite presents, a keyboard from her grandparents. She definitely gets her dance moves from her father!
