Christmas Eve!

First up: family photos in Gracie's Christmas-dress.

Then it was time to head in to the kitchen for a snack.

Then it was time to a do a few twirls to show off the dress.

A kiss from Grandma.

Then time to open presents.

Gracie was very excited to get one of her favorite books: The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

So excited she asked Grandma to read it to her right away.

And then Aunt Eileen.

And then Cousin Christine.

So many gifts. Must press on.

Gracie had a wonderful night. She says 'Fan' ('Thank you') before heading up to bed to wait for Santa to come. Merry Christmas!!

More gifts

 Daddy let Gracie open his Christmas gift from Mommy.

 And then she got to open one of her gifts...

She loves her new ball!

But loved playing with the wrapping and tissue paper too! :)

A little indoor playtime

Gracie loves this big spoon! She fits perfectly :)

Gracie's Tree and Abacus

Gracie likes her tree too, she counts the lights on it :)

Gracie opened her first Christmas present over the weekend from Grandma Donna! She loves her new Abacus!

White House Christmas Tree

Gracie loved seeing the Big Tree!!

 Gracie's smiling, Daddy's blinking! :/

 "Ooohh holy night....." actually I think she is trying to imitate me whistling to get her attention :)
