Katelyn LOVES Dr. Seuss!!
I'll get it!!
Opening up her Dora Tent. Katleyn loves playing in her closet or under the computer desk. We thought the tent would be perfect for her!!
Opening her stocking (You can see the tent in the background.)
We went over to Great Grandma Strong's house for breakfast. Grandma and Grandpa Wilder gave Katelyn a Dora doll.
Grandma Wilder put together the nativity this year. Katelyn got to be an angel. (Glad Steve and Wes could come visit. Katelyn likes calling him "baby" Wes. He is getting too big.)
We did our traditional pinata. Katelyn knocked out two pieces of candy.
Katelyn has talked about Santa for weeks, but when we finally arrived she was not happy.
Katelyn loves the books Santa brought her. They are 5 small Dora books. She is still watching Satna pass out books. That why she is looking a little worried.
All the grand kids started singing Christmas songs, but she was more interested in reading.

Eric and Kristen had a great idea to go see the lights at the McCormick Train Park. We expected to see some people, but the line was an hour and a half long. We decided Katelyn would not be able to wait that long. We walked around to see the lights.
Katelyn LOVES The Cat in the Hat. Apparently he was too big for her and she didn't want to get too close. I was never a fan of big costume characters when I was little.
Katelyn insisted on riding the horse. Once again this led to tears. She liked sitting on the horse, but not moving around. We were not doing very well.
Then off in the back was a mini train and not a huge line. She LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the train. There were Christmas lights the whole way and she smiled the whole time.
Thanks Kristen for the great idea!!
Katelyn took the ducks from a game and put it with her farm set. Very creative!!
Putting up the star on the Christmas Tree.

If you have ever had to go by the Hoover Dam you know it takes FOREVER. We have been waiting years and years for the bridge to be complete. The bridge really is not long at all, but takes at least an hour off our trip!!! Plus, no more waiting to go through the check point. THANK YOU FOR FINISHING IT!
Our happy little traveler!!
Katelyn loves big slides.
What did you do Katelyn? Yes, that would be a pretty full bag of goldfish now ruined on the floor.
Yummm, Katelyn loves Grandma Strong's chocolate pie.
If you ever have car problems Katelyn can help fix it.
We went to the Udall Halloween party. Katelyn enjoyed her soup.
Katelyn was not in the mood to look at the camera. Finally we got one of her looking!!
Kristen and Eric stopped by to see Katelyn as a ladybug. They took her to several houses to go trick or treating.
This is my favorite!!!
Cute!!
Grandma and Grandpa Strong with Katelyn.
