There were different things about Christmas this year. It was Mom and Bob's first Christmas in their new house in Loveland. And for the first time I met Heather, my first step sister (first sister of any kind, actually, and who happens to have wicked Scattergories kung fu, so watch out), and her daughter Katie. Without further ado, the photos....

The cute and imaginative Katie looking adorable in front of the tree.



Looking even adorabler.



With her excellent mom, Heather.



Peeking!



And all of the above plus Mom and Bob.



Happy New Year, everybody!
