Here are a few pics of Kate's first holiday season!


Mom thinks the Santa hat is so cute on Kate.
Kate thinks it is so funny to take it off!

Tubes

Kate had ear surgery this morning to have tubes put in both ears. We got to Swedish hospital very early. We thought she may protest the no food before surgery but she did not seem to mind too much. She liked all the machines, cords, lights and friendly nurses. The procedure went very smoothly and fairly quick. She did so great, she barley even cried!
Here are some pictures we took.

Getting ready for surgery

My First Turkey

I was so lucky to get 3 First Thanksgivings. It was so fun to see all my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins! I tried turkey and gagged on mashed potatoes. I thought that cranberry a little tart and I LOVED my grandma Claudia's corn dish. I made a HUGE mess and I have been sleeping every since!
