Cate LOVES reading books. It is really fun to watch and listen to her as she sits and "reads" for long periods of time. Here she is reading a book she got for Christmas in a rocking chair Carter had as a little guy.
Rumor has it that the College of Pharmacy and the College of Denistry at the University of Iowa are already offering her scholarships...
Cate loves her John Deere tractor from Papa (especially because he gave it to her early--there are perks to being the only granddaughter)
Carter, Jane and Matt in the limo. It was a surprise~17 passenger Lincoln Navigator. All the kids were told to get their coats on. Papa told them "We are going crazy with Grandma Jane!" We had a REALLY fun night.
John, Craig Alan and Carter at dinner. They opened this cute little restaurant in Griswold just for us. Craig Alan and Colton are always begging to sit by Carter.
Hard to get 5 kids happy and looking at the camera. Craig Alan, Grandma Jane, Colton, Spencer, Papa and Josiah
The youngest pair--Cate and Spencer 
TJ, Emily, Jesse and Timmy throwing reindeer food. It was definitely a white Christmas. We were so happy that everyone was able to make it to the BVR safe.
Christmas cookies for Santa
Cate on Christmas morning. She spent LOTS of time with Papa and Mamaw reading books and eating powdered sugar doughnuts.
We had a wonderful Christmas. Some of the highlights (and lowlights)
Matt and Carter in limo ride for dinner and lights the night before Becker Christmas~so fun!
Christmas morning (was Carter's Dad and uncles got him out of the snow drift)
