Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! We have had the best Christmas ever so far, and it will continue for many days as we see our families and friends. I hope that everyone has a great holiday season!

Katherine opened one of her gifts last night.

John wondering why the characters in Katherine's new book all look like Cartman.

Winston "opening" his gift from Santa.

Katherine loved the swing that Santa brought her!

She's a big girl now!

Katherine is over 5 months old now, and she can (almost) sit up by herself. We can see her soaking up all of the world around her every single day, and her total enjoyment of it all is totally contagious! The Campbell household is a very happy household!

Santa!!

This past week, John and I took Katherine to see Santa. Santa looks fantastic...it's been so many years since either John or I sat in his lap, so it was good to see that he doesn't age much. Katherine wasn't too impressed...after three seconds in his lap, her "early warning system" (big pouty-shrimp-lip) appeared. In a few years, she'll be begging for his approval and forgiveness for any mischief.

So much to be thankful for!

Katherine's first Thanksgiving was great, and we were so lucky to able to share it with Brian, Heather, and the now-huge Togi.

Here's a time-lapse of me cooking (please excuse the PJs...it was still early!), and Brian helping.
