Disneyland!

We went to Disneyland the 26-29th. Phew! What a whirlwind! There are over 100 photos, so let me spare you all of the craziness and just pick some favorites. I will add more later if anyone wants to see more. We had so much fun. We went for Gracie's very first time and brought my baby sister, Cait, along for the ride. Dont think she'll fall for that one again! ;) Or at least never have children... totally kidding. We had so much fun and Gracie loved it all. She didnt want to miss a thing... and she didnt! This kid was born awake!

One special morning, we had breakfast at Ariels Grotto and Gracie was the special guest. She was chosen to read the royal announcement to bring out the Princesses. She got to meet all of them first which made her so excited! Snow White also kissed her on the cheek and I thought she was gonna scream with joy. Minnie Mouse was a rock star for Gracie. Everyone in line was laughing at her when she would scream from 3 rows back, "Minnie! Minnie! Hi Minnie" and of course, Minnie waved back.

Prepare for picture overload... you have been warned. ;)

Christmas Day!

Christmas Day was wonderful, Santa came and Gracie was left VERY happy. I, unfortunately, was VERY sick. We went to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks, which was very funny, but after I was so sick I couldnt move. So the remainder of the day, Bobby watched games on TV, Gracie played with Granma J and I slept. Oh well! It was still a great Christmas.

Christmas Eve

Christmas was a little different this year. We went to my parents home on Christmas Eve for breakfast instead this year because my mom had to work on Christmas, delivering beautiful babies to very lucky parents, but still, BOO! But we made the most of it and enojoyed everyones company.

That evening we made our annual trek to my Grandparents home for Christmas Eve dinner. It was a lovely evening and we are so lucky to still get to go see them, so I enjoyed every last minute!

Santa Party

What a wonderful kick off to the week of Santa coming than the annual Santa Party at my Aunt Laura's (Aunt Lou!) home. It was warm and cozy and every bit memorable as it has always been. Gracie had a blast singing carols (even ones I didnt even know she knew!) and being in the presence of the big man himself, Santa. She was beside herself with joy!

Here are some pictures:

'Twas the week before Christmas....

Phew! What a week!! Gracie had her last day of preschool before winter break, a gingerbread house party, a birthday party for her teacher and a dance recital. Today was her annual Christmas Recital and she was the perfect little angel. We went to Fajitas after and it was so, so yummy. To say we are beat is beyond words! What a few weeks we have ahead too. We just love this time of year and we cant wait for the next two weeks.

Here are some fun pictures from our crazy week!
