Kat's xmas pics. She wanted to make sure you got to see the entire outfit that Grandma gave her.
A better view.
Awwww.
So cute.
Isn't this what you do with your own kid-sized table and chairs? (She's sitting on the table).
Last Sunday we headed to the mountains to take our family picture. There had been little snow before then. On that day, it was +14F, with a bitter wind chill. This was poor little Kat's introduction to snow. Lucky little girl. Once we got up there, we kept the car running with the heat cranked up. We stuffed her in her little Columbia snowsuit and boots (that are too big to walk in, not that she wants to walk). We threw her on the sled, I snapped 2 pics with the timer and we stuffed her back in the car where she then watched the idiot twins prance around in the snow, no doubt wondering exactly what she had signed on for.
Since her intro to snow was so brief, AND since we then got 6" of snow here in Bellevue on Thursday, we thought we'd let Kat have a better look at the white stuff. You can see how impressed she was with the experience.
I thought I saw a smile when Dan was pulling her on the sled and she was moving at a good clip. I may have been wrong, cause we saw no other sign of it.
Modeling her snowsuit and fleece hat and mitts indoors. I think she preferred that.
The "baby power" fist bump with daddy.
I know it's mortifying. I really feel terrible every time I put the pink fleece bear suit on her. I swear I do. But it's the only one that fits and did I mention that we have snow and cold here (currently 27F outside), despite this being Seattle?
This is like a double whammy...the bear suit IN baby prison. The poor kid, we should start therapy now. This is not a regular occurrence.
And this....is a crib tent. My mother thinks it's only fair that Kat climbs out of the crib, as apparently I wouldn't stay in it after 9 mths. Luckily, in the 2 decades since I did it, someone invented this. Now she can bounce to her heart's content and we don't have to worry about her escaping. I think.
In Dan's office- for Toddler's xmas lunch.

Despite not being officially winter for another 1/2 day, most of the country is getting snow, ice and cold, losing power and having miserable winter weather. We are as well. It's cold here, has been below freezing all week and we got 6" of snow yesterday. For those of you who have been here, you can imagine how fun the driving is with snow and ice on all of the hills. Not to mention being surrounded by folks who have NO IDEA how to drive in winter conditions. The forecast is for more cold, more snow AND wind gusts of 70-90mph. The last time we had wind gusts like that was 2 years ago, just before x-mas and due to the volume of giant trees that went down, taking power lines with them, we had no power for 8 days. It was mid-40s outside (and inside), and we didn't have to worry about keeping Kat warm. It should be interesting tomorrow through Sunday. I really hope we don't lose power.
