Kate and Grandma at Edaville Railroad. It was only 15 degrees (F)! For you non-Massachusetts people, Edaville is a historic railroad about an hour south of Boston that features (supposedly) 7 million Christmas lights. You walk through Christmas displays and then take the train around a large cranberry bog that has Christmas scenes in lights. It is actually quite amazing. Oh, and there is a mini amusement park. Worth the trip.
Kate on the train with Grandpa
Thought this was cute.
Kate on the Merry-go-round at Edaville. Only New Englanders would think a nighttime, outdoor amusement park in December is a good idea. Kate didn't mind that much...
Kate, Grandma and Grandpa King
We went to my Aunt Jean and Uncle Brent's (below as Santa) Christmas eve party. Kate did NOT like Santa. At least I didn't put her through the whole mall thing!
Santa came
What a confusing morning!

A gift from Papa: Buckles the Cat. Kate loves him!
She could buckle for hours.
