Happy 1st Valentine's Day!

Dear Kate,

You celebrated your first Valentine's day with the folks that love you the most, your family! You are, and always will be, Mommy's sweet Valentine! This year, we had a fun day of activities including opening presents (you got a copy of Guess How Much I Love You, very appropriate if you ask me!) and kisses from your big sister...

Abs has grasped the concept of Valentine's Day, that is, she showed her love to EVERYONE that day, but especially to her favorite little sister! We also went to Abs school party and then out to dinner, and you even got to join us for dinner. You didn't care for the Indian food (or well, I didn't offer you any :) but you did love some bottle!

This year, Mommy and Abby did a "Things I Love List" where I ask a bunch of questions and Abby answered them all on her own. Well, after we did Abs, she wanted me to do it, so I did, and then she wanted YOU to do it. I explained to her that you couldn't tell us your favorite things and she immediately responded with "I can tell you." So... she did...

Here what she thinks are your favorite things...

1. What is your favorite color? PINK! (I never would have thought...)

2. What is your favorite toy? a rattle

3. What is your favorite fruit? nothing - Kate doesn't eat fruit Mom!

4. What is your favorite TV show? Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (hmmm...)

5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? a bottle

6. What is your favorite outfit? a jersey like Cole gave me. (Now, for the record, I have not put you in a jersey, but Cole let Abby borrow it for "football" day at school and she always talks about it!)

7. What is your favorite game? Candyland

8. What is your favorite snack? a bottle

9. What is your favorite animal? me!

10. What is your favorite song? Baby baby, Justin Beiber

11. What is your favorite book? Trick or Treat (that is, "Where is Babys Treat" or something like that!)
