Konnichiwa! Hello again! Of course the news to report about December was our trip to KC for Christmas...all photos are from that trip. We had a wonderful time. Ellie got to see snow for the first time. We were able to welcome Kate into the family and we are so glad to have had the opportunity to see everyone 'back home'.
The night we arrived Kate Louise Schilling decided it was time to see the world. The following day we went to the hospital for a visit.

It was so much fun for to see Ellie with her cousins...bath time was fun for everyone!

Christmas eve...
Below are Claire, Brooke and Ellie with their Christmas chairs that Mam gave them...they are more interested in who gets the last goldfish though.
Granny had strategically placed ornaments the girls could play with...and it didn't take long for them to figure this out!

Below is Great Grandpa Duensing with Kate Schilling.
The entire Duensing clan Christmas morning 2010...times change fast!
Here Grant and Drew are showing Ellie how to dance like the King of Pop.
I thought Grant about 'tickle attacks' and he was obliged to teach Ellie the same.

Three days later Brooke Marshall turned the big 1!!
Finally we leave you with the three girls cramming onto one chair.
Until next time!
