Opening a present from MiMi

She was trying to ride it immediately

This is when it was actually moving, she was HILARIOUS

Thanks for all the great gifts MiMi, Uncle Josh & Aunt Jamie!!!

Christmas at GGma's & GGpa's

Kate loves going to GGma & GGpa's house any day. But, Christmas is definitely the best . . . she doesn't get presents everyday!

GGma giving Kate her present

Yay! A table & chairs

More presents!


Kate enjoyed playing in boxes

I guess she really like them

Presents from Santa

Kate really enjoyed her baby doll set from Santa. I think she loved the stroller the most!

She is getting so big

I guess baby needed a nap

Back to the stroller


Discovering all of the little toys in her stocking

Kate decided to take a nap in the baby's bed

All of Kate's Santa presents with the tree

Oakley Christmas

So much happens at an Oakley family Christmas, it is hard to document it all. But, here is my best effort.

Uncle Cole reading to his boys

Kate & Brennan reading

Jax trying to tell Rachel that he is a big kid too

Everybody loves Gpa Oakley

Kate really liked her little slinky

She is getting really good at opening presents

I love those pigtails

Aunt Jess, are you excited?

Everyone wants in on the food

Santa's Little Helpers

We always enjoy going to Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Cole's house for Christmas Eve's Eve dinner. This year was no different; we all had a blast!

I got one good pic before I realized Rachel was missing. LOL

Kate loves Branton

Hmmm . . .

Rachel, sit still

Yay! This looks good, but let's keep trying

Brennan & Kate, hands down
Rachel, kiss Jax later


Kate says, "everyone quit swishing me!"

Total meltdown

At least we got a good one!

Meeting Santa!

I guess Kate thought Santa was naughty instead of nice

I think she liked him better last year

She liked him better when I was with her

She also liked him better from a distance
