Katie's New Dollhouse

My Aunt Mary bought Katie a new dollhouse for Christmas. It took my Mom and me 2 hours to finally get it together. When we were finally done building it, it was taller than Katie. She liked it a lot and was excited to give her dolls a new home :) She got a lot of Disney Prince and Princess Barbies for Christmas, so it was perfect :)

 

This is how we spent our New Year's Eve :)

Hanging Out At GeeGee's

All the kids were at my Grandma's house and they were able to play together. That doesn't happen often, so it was really fun for them :)

David was picking Hannah and Katie up at the same time, showing off how strong he is :p

 When they run like this, they always get yelled at! Hahaha

 My Mom, Mary, and Desiree went to Target and brought new toys home for the kids. They were excited :)

 After all that playing, the kids settled down for a small bowl of ice cream :)

 Katie and Hannah drew pictures of each other before going home. This is Katie's picture of Hannah. Hannah didn't like it and gave it back to Katie, who cried a little :/ I think she did a great job, but I think Hannah expected it to look just like her... :p

It's always a fun night when Katie gets to spend time with her cousins. She loves them so much!

Katie's In The Picture Mood!

Katie loves the camera most of the time. Today she was letting me take a bunch of her, and she was posing so cute for me. She did lots of silly poses with my Mom, but out of respect for my Mom, I don't think I'll post those!!! Hahaha. Katie is so beautiful, I love her so much.

 I'm so glad she loves the camera, because I love taking her picture!

 When we got home she put on another new pajama dress from Lauryn and Oscar, and told me to follow her with my camera, haha. She was so cute, how could I resist?

I'm so thankful for my Princess :)

Katie's New Ariel Jammies

For Christmas, Lauryn and Oscar gave Katie this beautiful Ariel pajama dress, and Katie feels so pretty in it! She was posing for me and letting me take her picture :)

Baby-sitting Samuel

I was baby-sitting Samuel John for Desiree, and he had such a fun time playing with Katie's toys. I think his favorite was the Princess Ball Tent. He thought it was soo funny that he could see me in the door hole and the top. He was so cute, laughing and laughing in there!

Universal Studio's Grinchmas

Before leaving to Universal Studios, we stopped by Lauryn's house to do Christmas presents with each other. She gave Katie and me so much cool stuff! I felt cheap for only giving her a few things!! Haha. I added more stuff to my Mickey Kitchen thanks to Lauryn and Oscar!

 One of the few characters we saw that day, and Katie had no idea who she was, haha. Oh well!

 The Whoville Christmas Tree

 The Grinchmas area was cute, it had real snow to play in, and a snowman built that people were taking pictures with. Snowballs were flying everywhere!!!

 Katie loves the movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas. She's seen it so many times! I bought her the cartoon one, but she prefers the real one with Jim Carrey. She was still a little nervous to take a picture with him, but I think she did pretty good.

 Katie was too small to go on the Simpson Ride, she needed one more inch, she was 39, and the requirement was 40 inches. We saw Marge there while walking Lauryn and Oscar to the ride, and Katie wanted a picture, even though I don't think she's ever seen an episode of the Simpsons...lol.

 Right after we took a picture with Marge, they switched her with Bart and Lisa :)

 Our last ride of the night was the Studio Tour Tram. We took a bunch of pictures while we waited in line for it. It was a 45 minute ride, and Katie had to pee halfway through! Ahhh! She did a good job waiting until the ride was over, and then we rushed to the restroom!

 While the teenagers went on the fast rides, Becky, Danny, Katie and I watched the Grinchmas Tree Lighting, and it had a show about the Grinch movie too. It was cute.

It was a crowded day, because of the Grinchmas stuff, but it was fun. I haven't been there in years, so it was fun taking Katie. My Mom bought her a season pass, so she can go whenever she wants, and she bought me a 5 day pass for Christmas, so I can take her 4 more times this year.

Christmas Lights

For Christmas, we went to see the Christmas Lights down below. Katie picked her dress to wear and posed with her Prince Elmo that she always dances with in the house.

 When we got there, people were selling hot chocolate, hot cider and caramel apples. Katie just wanted a plain apple and my Mom got a drink for herself.

 The lights were pretty and the kids were doing really good at posing for me :)

 The Grinch house was really cool. Their last name was Grinch so they went all out, with about 6 different Grinches set up in their yard. The song was even playing.

 Katie took this for her Daddy :p

 On our last street my Mom bought the kids chocolate covered marshmallows to eat. They liked them :)

The California Winter house was pretty cool. It was all palm trees and sunglasses :p

 It was a fun night, I liked the lights a lot, the houses were pretty, the kids were good, and the snacks were yummy :)

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning I let Katie open the presents David and I bought her. Some of my family came over to see her get her new bed.

 She loved all the Prince barbies she got for Christmas.

 Now all her Princesses can get married :p

 I think she likes it :)

 David spent the morning with his eyes glued to his DSi lol.

Katie loves all her presents so much. We've played with everything! It's so much fun :)
