Has Katie found her vocation?

Katie went to her first birthday party on Saturday. No it's not been that long, she's only 4 months old, it was Faye's birthday party. Faye is one of our neighbours and for her 3rd birthday she had a fancy dress party. So as you can imagine there were a few princesses, a couple of snow whites and a load of fairies.

Katie was feeling fairly festive and decided to wear her new christmas outfit kindly bought for her by her friend Margaret.



Lots of fun was had by all.


Following on from this, Katie decided she was ready for a more challenging role, and so on Sunday she had the starring role in that classic Christmas play "Grandpa's special birthday". It went like a dream, she cooed and gurgled in all the right places and happily sucked her thumb while the shepherds and wise men brought her gifts. She was beautiful.

However, she was not pleased when she discovered there was a second performance and cried all the way through. The play was adapted a little to include a guest appearance by Jesus' nanny (Debbie!). Katie managed to compose herself and stopped the tears on cue for the end of Mary's lullaby.

We're normally quite keen to take photos of Katie, I can't quite believe that we don't have any to show for this. We got a couple of snaps afterwards, but as you can see, she is still not awfully impressed.


(If anyone managed to get any better photos, please let us have a copy, thanks).
