Wow....what a wonderful Christmas we had this year. Katie loved everything about it....the tree, the lights, the presents, Santa, snowmen. On christmas eve, we went to my cousin Ambers. She has 3 girls and her sister in law has a little girl too, so there were 5 of them running around and having such a great time.

Here is my cousin Amber and myself...

Here is the best group shot. It was perfect until we realized that my mom was in the bathroom...ugh!

Here are all 5 little girls. Poor Sadie. I gave her the job of holding Katie. Sadie was awesome. She made sure Katie did not go anywhere-notice the neck hold?

I guess she decided that she would have better luck with a chest lock...whatever it was-it worked!

The next morning, we waited until Katie woke up (which was around 8am) and then went downstairs and opened her gifts and played with her new kitchen. She loved it and it was funny to see her trying to figure it all.

We then packed her up and headed to my mom and dads. She was spoiled. She got a little quad-ATV thingy that my brother picked out for her, an art easel, a Santa mylar balloon, clothes, books and some more things, I can't think of it all off the top of my head right now. I got the rest of the 3 books from the Twilight saga-woo hoo, Britney Spear's new CD-yes, I WANTED it, a new cell phone, a $90 wreath, picture frames and some clothes!

After my mom and dads, we headed down to Matt's sisters to wrap up Christmas with his family. It is always a little chaotic there, but with 9 kids, it should be, right. No, his sister does not have 9...lol. Here is a picture of Katie with her cousins.

The past few weeks, Katie has not been sleeping very well and has been waking up several times crying and some times screaming. Today, I found out why....her molars are coming in. Poor thing. I know that they say that runny noses/diaper rash have nothing to do with teething, but I absolutely do NOT agree with that. EVERY SINGLE TIME she has gotten a set of teeth (they seem to come in twos) she has had had both a runny nose and a diaper rash. It is the only time that I have really noticed her with a runny nose and (unless I don't change her - usually because I can't smell it or she is sleeping and goes poopoo) a butt rash. Go figure....I am not convinced at all!

It is late and I am pretty much falling asleep, so I need to go night-night!
