over the river and through the woods

Now that they have had some time to settle in from their travels, Poppy and Kiki invited the family over for Sunday dinner.

Katelyn modeled the new bows that Kiki brought back from Utah.

Grandma's family dinner's are legendary in our family.  Over the years, they have been the cause of diet failures.  Even if Grandma tells you that she is just doing something simple, you can expect a beautiful table setting, excellent food, and multiple options for dessert.

Tonight's dessert was apple crisp.  We were all sitting around, talking and laughing and eating our sweet apple goodness while poor Katelyn just started intently.  My mom was holding her so she scraped off the sugary crisp, mashed up one of the apples, and gave little Kate a taste.

It turns out Katelyn loves apples!  I think she might like them as much as bananas.  We couldn't feed them to her fast enough.

My grandma mentioned that she had a baby spoon we could use.  I assumed she meant a spoon leftover from when my cousin Dallas was a baby but she came back with a beautiful silver spoon.  It was the spoon she used to feed my mom and her siblings.

We had a great time at Kiki's this afternoon and it will be the first of many family gathering for Baby K I'm sure.
