KATIE HOLMES: TOM’S KIDS CALL ME “MOM”
December 19, 2007
In a new interview, Katie Holmes gushes about hubby Tom Cruise, daughter Suri and the whole family's plans for a cozy holiday in Colorado.
The actress, who stars in the upcoming movie Mad Money, tells Parade magazine she's "a huge fan of the holidays."
Her extended clan, Holmes says, spends the winter together skiing and chowing down: "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."
Katie says Tom is a natural not only in the kitchen--but in the company of women. "My husband has three sisters," she explains. "He was raised by a single mother and has two daughters-and he's a great father and husband. His first two children are incredible, really smart and kind."
Surprisingly, Holmes reveals of her stepchildren, "They call me 'Mom.'"
Last month, Nicole Kidman complained to U.K. TV show GMTV that her kids with Cruise, Isabella and Connor, call her by her first name. "My kids don't call me mommy," she told the show. "They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it."
