Watch Me Grow

Eight

Katelynn is now 8 years old

what a beautiful girl you are becoming...

Merry Christmas

Our first White Christmas was PICTURE PERFECT!!

Merry Christmas

from Dave, Bonnie Katelynn, and Madeleine

The Question is?????

Is it Tacky???

I am not sure what to do.

I am in the process of getting addresses updated right now to send out Christmas cards (if your has changes please let me know), but I am very unsure on what to do with a little problem.

You see, Katelynn's baptism is 3 days after Christmas. I am also sending out baptism announcements to many of the same people on that list. The question is:

IS IT TACKY TO SEND OUT BOTH IN THE SAME ENVELOPE????

It would really save, but is it ok to do that?

Getting the Tree

Today we went to our very favorite tree farm

And found the very best tree

 

It smells sooo good

And started decorating for the holidys

Almost Eight

As the days creep closer to Kate's eighth birthday a lot of little changes are happening for her.

First and most important. She is getting ready to be baptized.

DECEMBER 28th

Secondly, she got a new big girl hair cut

and Third, She got her ears pierced-

 

she has been waiting for a while and from the time she was little we told her a eight she could get them done so we went into town and got them done at the mall.

I was really worried after the first one she wouldn't want another one done, but the gal doing it was so good that she didn't have time for more than an "OUCH" (which she said) in between before they were both done.

I am so proud of my big girl

She is growing up So fast
