Katie and the most stylin' baby of 2007 got all dolled up in their party dresses for Katie's 29th birthday on Monday. We know how much Katie loves playing Santa during Christmas time and having Suri around only helps her get into the holiday spirit. In this week's issue of Parade, Katie talks about her upcoming plans with her family. Here are highlights:
- On the holiday season:
"I have always been a huge fan of the holidays. My birthday is December 18th, so it’s my favorite time of the year. I’m from a big family, and we always did a grand Christmas Eve with all of the relatives. We’d sing Christmas carols and open gifts. Really joyous. Last year was Suri’s first Christmas. It was so spectacular to share the holidays with her. It really meant the world to me. To be able to create a tradition for your children is one of the best gifts you can have." - On celebrating
"My whole family and Tom’s whole family will go up to Telluride [Colo.] again. We ski. We have big dinners and laugh. We love cooking. My mom’s stuffing is my favorite. I’m a huge fan of pie, especially pecan. I will probably cook some garlic mashed potatoes and maybe a cheesecake. We always make a lot of sugar cookies with decorating and sprinkles. Suri will be in the dough everywhere. Tom has shown me the greatness of extra chocolate chips. Tom’s really good in the kitchen. He makes great pasta carbonara and lemon pasta."

- On taking Suri around the world:
"We don’t like to be away from her. She’s very aware. We take her to the park in each city and walk around. This summer, when Tom was working in Germany, she’d wake up and say, 'Hello, Berlin.'"
Could Suri be any cuter? Not only is she the most stylin' baby around but it sounds like she's well on her way to being one of the most well-rounded as well.

"Tom has shown me the greatness of extra chocolate chips."
1Gee golly...
OoOoOo he's just too good to be true.
2They're twins!
3That whole interview seems a little too sugary and "perfect" . His kids call me mom, everyone loves everyone, we all cook .
what about their real mom Nicole? or because she's not a scientologist they are slowly phasing her
out?
joey potter , where have you gone?
4It's like a time warp. Everything she says, the way she dresses herself and her daughter, all remind me of the 1950s.
5They`re so cute! And Suri is getting soo big!
6i dont know i really would like to think that katie is not some brain washed woman and that she truly enjoys being a wife and mom but even reading her instyle interview its "gosh golly gee, its all soo perfect and i love my husband and he has taught me soo much" who the hell talks like that!?
7Hello Tom got what most men his age go looking for in a young naive woman. Someone he can mold, won't talk back, and worships the ground he walks on.
8I want to just pinch and kiss Suri's cheek. She's the cutest.
Oh wait, Scientologists CELEBRATE Christmas? I didn't know Xenu approves
9HAHAHA nevaeh ... actually hadn't thought about that. So is Katie ( I mean Kate
- have you
noticed that although Tom has tried to have everyone change to using Kate it's not sticking. YAY - one for the non-freaks!)
10... so has Katie now stopped celebrating the "christ" part of christmas or what. Forgive my lack of knowledge around what is and isn't acceptable as a scientologist.
I just think she's heavily medicated. Hey I wouldn't mind some of that myself. I'd like to think everyone loves everyone, and my life is perfect, and Santa Claus is real.
11Hmm it's a good question. Is it against Scientology beliefs to celebrate Christmas?
12Suri is so cute.
13
14Still using a bottle???
15Considering L. Ron Hubbard said "There was no Christ." I can't imagine too many of them pay attention to the Christ portion of Christmas.
16omg so cute please.
17I can die now
LOL SNOWBUNNY! the "GREATNESS of extra chocolate chips". -- "GRANNNNDDDDDD chrismas eve".
18of course it's her fav time of year bc it's her bday - she's so darn into herself....
sickening
i just had pancakes for breakfast and i added extra chocolate chips - thank you tom for enlightening me - it was GRAND!
19get over yourself katieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - oh sorry, KATE
20Venom: that's the first thing I thought when I saw the picture, too.
Suri is pretty old for the bottle - I can't believe they can't afford a sippy cup.
21greatness. grand. how old is this girl? the interview comments seem so random. none of the sentences flow together.
22GET OFF THE BOTTLE!?!??! I CAN'T BELIEVE THE MEDIA HASN'T PICKED UP ON THIS!!! SHE WILL BE 2 IN 4 MONTHS!!!!
23adorable
24My nephew is 5 and when I saw him one morning with a bottle I asked my sister WTF is he still drinking out of a bottle?!!!
25She said it was easier in the morning when they rush out of the house. I disapproved--but at the same time I wasn't going to tell her what to do with her child.
Freakin' creepy Stepford robot wife.
26Maybe under their tree they have miniature props from Close Encounters of the Third Kind and flying saucers as decorations and E.T. as the tree topper!
27A bottle still? And where is Suri's coat?!
28While I certinaly am no fan of the Cruises or their "religion," and part of me is really grossed out by Scientologists celebrating Christmas, I've known a few families with mixed religious backgrounds. It is pretty typical for the family to celebrate a hybrid of the religious holidays. I'd rather Kate's parents introduce Christmas to their grandchild than Suri grow up accepting the diatribe of alien overlords as absolute.
29When is this kid going to quit drinking out of a bottle?
30Is there any other part of Christmas than "Christ"?
31I thought that people celebrate birth of Jesus on Christmas.
I talk like that, when i am happy with the world, dont be jealous that she is so happy.
I love extra chocolate chips too.
32Suri is precious. And, as far as the bottle, it is a parental choice. Just like some breastfeeding moms have their kids hanging off their t*ts until they are way past toddlerhood.
33WTF, who talks like that? Grand? Joyous? And why is that kid still dragging around a bottle? The weirdness factor of that "family" will always out weigh any cuteness. Strange... too strange
34They could not be any cuter
35I'm really pissed off at Katie for saying that the kids call her Mom. She's been hit by such a career landslide that she can't think of anything to one-up herself above Nicole besides taking cheap shots at her as a mother. Get over yourself.
36Katie look like Maggie Gyllenhal in these pictures.
37Suri is so cute. I don't think it is weird she is drinking out of a bottle. My neice is 23 months and she will drink juice out of a sippy cup but not her milk. I don't know why, but the dr. doesn't have a problem with it. i think it all depends on the kid.
38Hey I'm platinum now!
39seriously, buy a sippy cup, I'm sure you can afford it.
40duffy, just because those kids call her mom and she admits it, doesnt mean its a cheap shot at Nicole. For all we know, Nicole is okay with it.
41Exactly why are you people so upset that the kid still has a bottle? Do you have early weaning issues of your own? Did mommy rip that bottle away from you too soon and now you're jealous? Get over yourselves folks! Worry more about some kid in Somalia with too little to eat than a sweet little girl with obviously loving parents who might indulge her.
42I think it's odd how Katie and Suri seem to look like carbon-copies of one another now, especially with Katie's new haircut. I liked her shorter hair without the bangs the best. Suri is one precious hatchling.
43auntyb, wake up on the wrong side of the bed? why are you so worried about the comments we make? Maybe we aren't the ones that need to "get over ourselves"?
44congrats liss.
45Tisane I just meant that would they just be celebrating the commercial side of christmas - not going to church or anything - I know her fam are serious catholics so they would have before TOMKATgate!
They have the same horrid haircut.
46gross. boring. although suri is cute.
47I just love Suri. She is too cute.
48So f***in creepy! Every time I look at this family and hear anything Katie (sorry she'll never be KATE to me) has to say my skin crawls.
49Thanks roor!
