December was busy and a lot of fun! Grace really enjoyed the holidays and handled all the commotion pretty good. She had to miss naps several times and then that coupled with a noisy party proved to be a little overstimulating for her. Grace really got into the presents, Jimmy our Elf, the songs and just talking about Christmas Eve. One day before her nap, I read Twas the NIght Before Christmas. Big mistake. Poor kid couldn't grasp that it really wasn't. As she went to sleep, she kept saying she heard Santa. When she woke up, she said, "Merry Christmas" and then started crying that there was "no presents". Very cute, but sad.
Grace wanted NOTHING to do with Santa at Brad's work party. She literally crawled and scrambled through the crowd of kids on the floor to get away when he called her name. This water fountain ended up being more fun than the man with presents!

Jimmy before he headed back to the North Pole.
Someone needed a little rest between presents.
Long Christmas Day. Grace and Pop-pop chillin' together

I am so impressed that you kept up your blog this long!!! I gave up in October 2011....bad mom. I still have to create Logan's Memory Book which is not even started. We have two Russian Christmas celebrations this weekend and then I'll have my pics done and ready to post from the holidays.
Grace is so incredibly cute and has grown so much. Love keeping up with her and your family. Cheers!
