Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year despite the fact that Will had to work the closing shift at the hospital. Thankfully we got Christmas morning with him!!! This year we really hyped the whole Santa thing and Kate loved every minute of it! We made sure to leave some cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Kate was very excited to open so many presents. She was very good at ripping off all of the wrapping paper! Sisters!

Kate was not thrilled to have Maggie grab onto her thumb.

Maggie loved watching her new toy since it makes a lot of loud sounds.

Gramma and Papa gave Kate a cool Minnie Mouse rolling suitcase. Kate was rolling it all around the house and putting her toys inside.

One family tradition that I want to keep up with my kids is to make a birthday cake for Jesus. We used to decorate one every year as kids and I loved it! I was very excited to see Kate get so into it too! She did a great job loading the cake up with lots of candy!

Time for candles! Singing Happy Birthday Jesus!
