A South Dakota Christmas

Hello everyone.

A couple of days before Christmas, we traveled up to South Dakota to celebrate Christmas with daddy's family.  It's a long drive up there, so I had to entertain mommy most of the way.

While we were up there, it snowed quite a bit and mommy thought it would be fun if I went sledding.  I had never gone sledding before, so we brought an expert with us -cousin Adam.  It's sure a process to get all dressed up to go outside to play in the snow.

 All bundled up and ready to go!

"I'm not so sure about this Adam"

"weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!"

On Christmas Eve, Grandma Judy prepared us a fine feast.  Before supper, I had to tell cousins Liz & Kayla about table manners.

I told them that it would alright to sit on grandpa's lap during dinner.

And that it was important to use a napkin.

After dinner, it was time to draw names and open presents.

Check out the dinosaur that aunt Karen gave me -there will be more pictures of this once I help daddy put it together!

And the roller that aunt Kathy gave me.

Grandma and Grandpa had a table built just for me (and for some stuffed Santas too)

Me and my cousins hanging out on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas morning, I woke up and saw that there was a half eaten cookie and half a glass of milk next to the tree.  Santa must have come!!  He did, and he left me a doll house!!

Not only is the doll house fun to play with, but the box it came in is fun too!

After a hard morning of playing on Christmas Day, it was time for a snack at my table with the my pals.

 After our snack, daddy and I went outside and played in the snow.  brrrrrrr!

The day after Christmas is Grandpa Terry's birthday.  Happy Birthday Grandpa!

What a great trip!!  I was so glad to see everyone in South Dakota again.  Thanks for all of gifts everyone, you spoil me too much.  And thanks to Grandma & Grandpa for letting me stay with you.

We hope that everyone had a great Christmas,

Kaitlyn, mommy, daddy.
