Decided to start a new tradition last Christmas and bought a Christmas palm tree. I figured we live in the Caribbean so why not? It turned out great and is now resting comfortably in our front yard about to give us some coconuts! This is Kate's nanny Amada. She's been with her since she was 6 months old. She is the reason for Kate's 'spanglish'. Amada is from Panama and only speaks Spanish to our chickita. She is wonderful and is teaching us all Spanish
