WE are enjoying a wonderful Christmas holiday in Indianapolis. We kicked off the holiday with a trip to the Indianapolis Zoo with Grandpa and Grandma Cole, Uncle David, Aunt Megan, and cousin Cyrus. We had a great time seeing all the animals and all the Christmas lights.
We look forward to time with all our family in Indy over the Christmas holiday! WE want to wish each of you a very blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We pray God will continue to bless all of you during this time of year. We also pray that you are able to celebrate the true meaning of the season as we give thanks for the birth of our Lord Jesus.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving in Indianapolis with G-Mom, G-Dad and Uncle Justin and all our cousins, Kate then stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Cole and G-Mom and G-Dad Toombs while Mom and Dad went to Florida with the women's soccer team as they played in the NCCAA Soccer Tournament. Kate did not miss Mom and Dad at all -- all the Grandparents were much too fun!! Kate has enjoyed getting ready for Santa to come and to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus. No presents under the tree, they are all locked away as Kate wants to open them all right now!! She loves the lights on the Christmas tree and asks everyday when Santa is coming! Merry Christmas to everyone, we pray God's blessing on you all this special time of year!
