Day 26

Picture of my family

My mom and I are a little family of our own.

It's from 2008, but this is my big family.

Day 20

Nicknames.
Let me start off by saying, I love nicknames.
If we want to get technical, my first name is Kathryn and therefore, Katie is a nickname.
My sister, since before I was born, has called me Peanut.
My brother, Jay, and my brother-in-law, Kevin, call me Kid or Kiddo.
My mom and her two best friends (Momma Chris and Daddy Bruce) call me the Princess.
My niece Catie calls me Autie (It's a mix of Aunt and Katie).
For a long time and ever so often now, Kacie and Kelli call me Aunt Sister, because they really want me as a big sister.
That's all the nicknames I am currently still called. 

Day 5

Siblings.

I have two, but I count four.

We’ll go in age order.

Lisa

My sister. Once blonde, now a redhead. She has a loud, infectious laugh. And is tender heart. We have a tendency to say the same thing at the same time. Watching movies and eating Coldstone is our thing. I’ll go spend the weekend at her house sometimes. We both love to read and discuss the books we’re both read. We’ve never fought.

Kevin

Kevin is Lisa’s husband. I met him when I was 3. We are complete goofballs together. We have water balloon and nerf gun wars. One year, I even bedazzled a bright pink full size shovel. He still keeps it in his house.

Nikki

Nikki is Jay’s wife. I met her when I was 3. Nikki and I are shopping and baking buddies. When I go to visit them, we talk a lot, about anything. I’d like to say we are close friends, more like sisters. She’s hilarious and such a fun person.

Jay

Jay is one of my biggest heroes. When I was little, I was a momma’s girl and Jay’s girl. We talk football and sports. He is really fun as well. I think it comes with being a youth minister. He will shoot straight with you if you ask him a question, even if you don’t like the answer.

I’ve actually never fought with any of them. I get along with them pretty well, I think it comes with the age differences. There is so much more I could say about them, but you will hear about them a lot if you read my blog. Regardless, I am blessed beyond measure to have these four in my lives and wouldn’t trade them for anything. Not only that but they’ve given me four beautiful nieces and one nephew to spoil for the rest of my life!

P.S. We decorated the trees (yes, trees, we have TWO this year!) this weekend. Decorating the house will happen this week in preparation for a little Christmas party happening at my house this weekend!
