The Holidays

(just hanging out with my aunts)

We had a wonderful holiday season this year with lots of family and lots of relaxation! We started the week of Christmas with Nana Julie, Aunt Hannah, Aunt Suzie and Benny coming to Durham for a few days to visit. Cate had lots of quality time with each of them while they were here. They also brought Cate some fun toys and adorable clothes to open on her first Christmas.

Cate opening gifts, she really enjoyed ripping the paper off the boxes!

After the Halls left for Atlanta, the Bodemanns arrived for their visit with Cate at Christmas. We're actually celebrating Christmas with them at the end of January when we are in St. Louis at Julie and John's house, so we didn't do any gift opening, but just got to enjoy time hanging out with family. Uncle Brian arrived on Christmas Eve after his flight got cancelled the day before, he left a white Christmas in Dallas to enjoy 50 degree weather (which is gone) here in North Carolina. Cate started rolling over regularly while they were here, so she was a constant source of entertainment for all!

Thank you to both our families for coming to us this year (I was on call for work). Cate are so lucky to have such fun and loving families! See you soon!
