Katie Holmes Bonds, Lends Hand With Cruise Clan

Making a late push for Stepmother of the Year, Katie Holmes spent her 28th birthday on Sunday bonding with Connor and Isabella Cruise.

Holmes and the adopted children of husband Tom Cruise and his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, have formed a strong relationship of late, with Katie attending all their soccer games and doing everything she can to be a part of their lives, which we have to give her credit for.

The trio spent the day giving back to the community, by playing Santa to a needy family in East Los Angeles: They brought the family gifts and a Christmas tree on a visit arranged by a local non-profit organization.

It's great to see that despite belonging to a cult and possibly being insane, TomKat clearly has its priorities in line. They are a big, happy extended family now, a fact that radiates from the adorable smile on little Suri Cruise.
