Super Curtis Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with my mom's side of the family yesterday. My grandma gets the award for the most creative Christmas present. She made Super Why capes and shirts for Cole, Nate, and Lucas. They loved them and were entertained for the rest of the day. The super heroes mysteriously broke a vase in her basement without even touching it! Amazing what super humans can accomplish when left alone for a few minutes!

Merry Christmas

Santa must have been CRAZY this year. He brought Lucas a drum set. We really didn't think it would be that bad, oh but it is. Poor Kate! We had a great Christmas. Lucas also got 2 new movies, lots of books, toys, trains, and clothes. Kate got teethers and a new bag to take to Nee Nees. We have enjoyed spending lots of time together!

Baby Jesus

Kate was honored to play the part of Baby Jesus at the Christmas Eve Children's Mass at St. Paul. We are lucky enough to be the first family to have 2 children play the part! (I was going to say baby Jesus's, but that just doesn't sound right.) She did great! She slept right up until it was time for me to lay her in the manger and then she, of course, woke up. She didn't fuss though. She kept reaching up and kicking her feet! She did great!

Kate's Christmas Present to us!

Kate has been working really hard on our Christmas present; sleeping through the night. She knows Mommy goes back to work in less than 2 weeks:(:(. Last night she went down at about 9 p.m. and she slept until 6 a.m.! Yeah! I'm hoping to stretch her until 7 a.m. (her ideal first feeding time) but I'm not pushing my luck. Beggars can 't be choosers! Way to go Kate!



We tried out the BUMBO the other day and she really liked it, for about 2 minutes!



Of course Lucas had to try it out too!


Check out Kate and Daddy!

2 month check-up

Kate went for her 2 mo. check up yesterday and she was as perfect as I thought! She weighed 10 lbs. and 11 oz. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and head, but only the 10th for length... surprise, surprise! She got the equivalent of 5 vaccines, only 2 sticks and one orally. She wasn't too happy! That's the worst, but I'm pretty sure her getting things like Whooping Cough would be worse!

At Last!

I should have known he would do it for Nee Nee. Last night was their daycare Christmas party. The kids all put on a play. Lucas was an alligator and his job was to "snap" the monkeys. He was also in the "Row, row, row, your boat" song. He wasn't sure at first, but when Santa called his name to get his present Joe carried him up and then he sat on his lap. He never would look at him though! I had to snap quickly.

These are the girls that love on my boy when I can't! They all can't wait to get their hands on Kate.

We were worn out and we decided to do bath together last night. Their first bath together of many I'm sure!

Maybe Next Year???

If Kate is anything like Lucas it will be at least 3 more years before I have a picture of the two of them with Santa, together, without tears. At least we know not to waste our money trying to go to Disney World! Saturday we went to Mom's work to see Santa and ride the carriage ride.

Kate's debut with Santa

Yes, there were people there besides our family!

Progess with Santa. Look how close he is!

Giving Mrs. Claus a try!

What a good lookin' family!
