Aunt Kirstin

This weekend Aunt Kirstin flew down from Seattle for an extra special visit to meet her first official niece.

It was a quick trip, just over 24 hours, but she showed up with a lot of love and a big suitcase full of gifts for us.

She even packed gift wrap to match Kate's nursery.

The first batch of gifts consisted of several books to fill up Kate's personal library. Kirstin included her family member's favorite books with a special note to Kate written on the inside of each of them. The monster in the pictures above is hand puppet to go with Uncle Jonathan's favorite "Where the Wild Things Are."

Kirstin also saved some of her girl's special pieces of clothing, including some of the gifts we got them, and gave them to Kate to now enjoy.

With both Ks under one roof (Kirstin and Kate), Nana and Papa couldn't resist and drove up from San Diego to join in on the fun. 

Kirstin was also able to offer some helpful mommy advice and help prepare a great shrimp taco dinner while she was here.

Thanks for visiting Kirst. We already miss you!

Nice shot Kirst. . .
