Christmas Time with Kate

Since Thanksgiving came so late this year, we decorated for Christmas the weekend before. I put out all the decorations during nap time, then we put the tree up the next day during another nap time. Kate woke up before we finished, so she and Daddy got to watch me put on the ornaments. :)

Kate's first Christmas ornament:

We were so excited for Kate's first Christmas to arrive. We had always said that we weren't going to do much in the way of presents this year since Kate would be so young... That principle didn't stand. We ended up getting several gifts for her, even though it was really more fun for us than it was for her. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, we were always on the lookout for good baby toy deals! Now that she's a little older, she's really starting to enjoy these toys so I'm glad we did get them for her. Christmas time has always been one of my favorite times of year, and Kate only makes it so much better!
