Beautiful Baby! 1/8

We saw on T.V. that Regis and Kelly were having there annual Beautiful Baby Contest so we decided to give it a shot and enter. Of course we think she is beautiful so why not? This is the picture we submitted. There are like thousands of babies that entered so the rare chance that we are in the finals we will find out the first week of February. Of course we will let you know if that's the case.

Happy New Year 1/1

New Years Day we all went out to dinner at the Melting Pot! Thanks to Mom & Dad who took us all out to dinner:) We had fun hanging out and cooking our dinner together. And we toasted the New Year too. Granny didn't know what was in the glass but she raised it just the same then started to take a drink. It didn't but barely touch her lips. It was a good laugh for us all.

Our 1st Christmas Morning 12/25

We started all our traditions this year for Gracie's 1st Christmas! We went to the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at church, then we came back to G-Ma and Pops house to share gifts with Aunt Dre, Uncle A Rod, Unlce Micah, and Aunt Linds. Just like I always did as a kid, went to Granny's on Christmas Eve with the whole family. Gracie got lots of clothes and some cool new toys too. Then we came home and read "The Night Before Christmas". Gracie woke up and we opened her presents from Santa. She actaully went after the present and opened it. I put it in a bag so that she could see what she was after and it worked. She loved her new Shape Sorter Spider. After playing for a little bit we read The Real Christmas Story then had some breakfast as a family. It was a perfect evening and morning. We will conintue these traditions for years to come.

Yumm Icing! 12/18

We iced the cookies we made. Gracie iced the star that she made and enjoyed eating it too. Bailey ended up helping her finish it. Gracie only had one point of the star and Bailey had the rest. She liked the taste of the icing:) Much better than the dough. She only lasted for a few minutes and only iced her one star cookie but thats okay. The tradition was started and memories were made:)

By the fire. 12/4

It is finally cool enough to enjoy sitting by the fire. G-Pops built a fire last night and we hung out and roasted some marshmallows. Pops is teaching Gracie the basics of roasting here. She loved being all snuggled up by the fire.
