Made with extra love...













This year for Christmas Katelyn received some fun gifts that were hand made just for her and some that were hand picked too!  I love them probably a ton more than she does, but she looks a lot cuter with them than I do :)

Her Aunt Amber made her some really cute bean bags that she has figured out that she can really  throw them across the room....we are trying to emphasize the tossing part of these so we don't do so much damage.

Grandpa Rudd got her some fun toys that she likes.  She loves the See 'n Say (The toy with the big arrow in the middle that spins around when you pull the crank arm on the side and then plays music or makes the sound of the animal it stops on)  Any animals absolutely captivate her full attention.  She likes anything with animals right now and so that toy was perfect for her as we are having fun teaching her the sounds that animals make now.

Her Great Grandma Rudd sent her a little musical figurine of two little angels and it plays "O Holy Night" and it is so beautiful.  My brother Luke taught Katelyn to kiss the "owies" on her baby doll and when I gave her the angel figurine, she started kissing it ...probably because they had "owies" from being packed away in the box and couldn't breathe very well, poor angels.  That's my little angel...but she isn't angelic enough yet to know not to break the figurine, so the angels sing to her from up on the shelf now (until they need more kisses, of course)

Katelyn's Great Aunt Tina made this super soft adorable stocking for Katelyn.  It has her initials sewn on in beads and each bead was sewn on individually.  It has an angel charm and a Christmas tree charm as well.


On the inside, Great Aunt Tina "signed" this by hand as well.


Katelyn's Aunt Rosie made this shirt for Katelyn.  I told her the wrong size so it will probably fit her better next Christmas, but I had Katelyn wear it this year and just rolled up the sleeves because I couldn't wait :)  


She embroidered Katelyn's name on the shirt as well as the big Christmas tree K initial as well.

I hope she doesn't mind if I show her off, but Rosie has a bunch of really cute items that she makes and sells that are pretty snazzy!  Her website is http://www.wechoosejoy.com/ .  Someday her kids are going to be all decked out with cute things she made.  Lucky kids :)

Katelyn sure is loved by her extended family and loves all the toys and gifts she has been given.  She  has so many people that care about her!
