Aunt "Pate" Rules!

We have been delighted to Host my sister Kate for both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. We didn't get cousin Anne for Christmas as she went to visit a friend in Cayman (Cayman at Christmas doesn't stink...), but we are really digging the close proximity to family for a change. The 4-5 hour drive seems downright reasonable given the fact that previously 6 airline tickets would be required for any relative visit.

Aunt Kate is seriously the BEST! She spends so much time reading to Cole & Audrey and helping with "projects" that it is a wonder she has any adult conversation while she is here! Audrey is convinced that her name is really Aunt "Pate", so it is gradually becoming a nickname (not so sure Aunt Kate is excited about that). Selfishly, I was also enjoying the new adult to young'un ratio. Now if we could just get Kate and Anne to move in with us full time...
