Christmas with Gator and Mimi

Susan Kate had a big surprise Christmas Eve when her Gator and Mimi came from Virginia to see her for Christmas! We all went to church and then came home and had a nice dinner and a special birthday cake for Jesus, SKB got to blow out the candles.

Susan Kate's big presents this year were a new PB Kids Gourmet Kitchen Island and Fridge. She cooked up some delicious treats for us, including cupcakes and ics cubes. Her Aunt Christine and Uncle Dustin got her a electric mixer and measuring spoons and her Gator and Mimi got some bakeware and bowls for her to pretend with. SKB also go Elmo Live, which she enjoys dancing with. She is also obsessed with anything that has Barbie and the Disney Princess stuff on it. She got some baby dolls and some hand bags to carry around, a Hello Kitty water bottle which is her favorite, a couple Little People sets, including Noah's Ark and the Nativity scene many other wonderful toys to play with.

Current Events

During a nice day last week, Susan Kate got to swing outside underneath the Bois D'Arc tree. She loves to swing, the higher and faster the better, it was hard to get her to slow down for the pictures.

And here she is with her early Christmas gift from Uncle Pat, a Dora backpack, which Dad had mistakenly left sitting on a table and Susan Kate happened upon, unwrapped and started running around the house screaming "Dowa, Dowa!!!" She loves her Uncle Pat!

Heritage Park Visit

Susan Kate went to Dallas Heritage Park with her Mom and Dad. She saw the way they used t live here in Dallas and she is ok with what we have now. SKB got to run around and stretch her legs in freedom. She met some donkeys and talked to them a while, she also got to meet some chickens. Good times in the old west were had by all!!!

Santa Claus Visit

SKB, her cousin Becca, and their moms went to have breakfast with Santa Claus. They were able to hang out for a few minutes with St. Nick and get their picture made with him too. Not sure if they gave him their wish lists this year though...

Susan Kate celebrated with her cousin Rebecca for her 2nd Birthday (Observed). As you can see, SKB can be pretty serious and also silly. Here the two are below dining on their favorties - Rice and Beans.

Here is Susan Kate dressed up to go to church. Doesn't she look like a doll?

New Pics - Thanksgiving

Gobble Gobble!!! This year SKB was old enough to have some Thanksgiving goodness, with some sweetpotatoes, mashed potatoes, red cabbage and ambrosia. She still won't eat turkey, though. SKB's firend Sofia joined her at the Kids Table!

Playing off their Thanksiving meals...

New Pics - Arboretum Visit

Susan Kate went to the arboretum with her parents. She had lots of fun playing in the Old West area and also looking at the flowers.

Trick or Treat with SKB!

Susan Kate and her cousin Rebecca went Trick-or-treating on Friday night. They were both Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (even though the Cowboys aren't very good). It took all of one house for them to get the hang of it. They realized that you go up to the neighbor's door and they give you candy. They both had a great time as you can see. Afterwards, all the cousins in the family came over and we had a nice meal. SKB and RSF are already looking forward to next year!!! Who know's what they'll dress up as then???
