Anna Kate is 6 months old!

Anna Kate turned 6 months on December 27th!! Can't believe she is already that old.
 
She is on the go even more this month. Army crawling and scooting all over. She also started really kicking in the bath tub. She loves to see the water splash as she kicks. She will stop kicking, look up at you and smile. She started to sit up by herself but needs a little assistance nearby so she doesn't fall over. She also started to wave. And she likes to blow raspberries!
 
Happy baby!



Hi there!

Pretty blue eyes!

A Whole Month of Christmas Fun!


It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Seeing Christmas through an almost three year olds eye is so magical. And having another one's first Christmas as well made this year the best Christmas yet! 
Visit with Richmond's Santa!! They both did great! Claire told Santa she would like a changing table for her baby doll. And he said he would do his best and bring surprises for the both of them

Richmond Tacky Light Tour...both of them were mesmerized. We all were!

Wow!

Walking up with Mema and Pepe

 

Santa and Mrs. Clause visited our table!

The huge gingerbread sleigh is behind the girls. It was made of gingerbread and candy and was about the size of car!

 

She really enjoyed the dessert table that we sat right next to!
