Below, Katie is being held by Charles Morrison. We tried to make it to midnight but Katie got a little pissy just after 9:00PM.  She fell asleep on the long walk home and we tried to go to our nieghbors for a midnight celebration but she woke up and got a little more pissy so we went home.  She fell asleep in Dad's arms just before midnight.  Katie's beautiful dress is a gift from her Zia Enrica Malone.
