Nothin like a sneaky Santa!

Kate's school was very creative when it came to taking Santa photos. They knew this age group was the official "wail and scream" bunch of kiddos that they got Santa to go up behind them and take a picture so no parent would be able to receive the best picture of their lives!

Santa 2013!

We had brunch on Sunday and got to meet Santa and take pictures. He was oh so jolly and full of love!

Grandma did a wonderful job hiding behind Santa's chair so Kate would stay still for a picture. Success! 

Then Santa gave Allison a great big Santa hug and told her he loved her. Oh how sweet it was!

my sweet doll, Kate

Look at this girl, She is such a sweety.

This is Kate's 2013 school picture.
Her personality was captured so right on that I felt this one was a keeper.
She is my little assertive, tenacious spitfire. She is sweet but tough. Don't mess with my Kate!
