Merry Christmas! It was amazing to get a picture of Grace in front of the tree.

We spent the 23rd at home opening gifts before heading to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grace loved opening gifts! She knew exactly what to do.

She got a little kitchen and play food from Mom and Dad. She liked it so much that she sat and played for a long time until it was time for bed.

Then we were off to spend Christmas with the grandparents. Grace had so much fun playing with grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins.

Brief family picture. Notice that Grace couldn't stop playing for the picture so we had to settle for her and the ambulance she was playing with.

Grandma and Grandpa gave us all pjs for Christmas. Check out our pictures.

At 16 months Grace is on the run and learning new things everyday. She is such a treat to be around and a perfect charmer. She eats like a champ trying all the food that Mom and Dad eat. She's also saying a lot of words. Her favorites right now are 'Santa' and 'ho, ho' (I don't know what happened to the last ho, but she doesn't say it). She also says Rylee which sounds like I-EEE, Mom, Dad, Dallas, more, sit, and Scott (just for uncle Scott). She also does a great job with her signing. She can sign more, all done, and thank you. Grace also loves to play with her dolls and to feed them bottles.
