Sunday - Christmas in August

Gracie had a very good night. She slept in til about 6:45 a.m. and then woke up in a very good mood. She awoke when I was in the shower, but daddy was here to greet her and when I walked out of the bathroom, she had huge smiles for me. That was pretty much the theme for the day, a happy, happy girl.

After church Gracie took a little nap and then Gracie and I played outside. She rode her tricycle, chased mommy, we walked the neighborhood, and took a ride around the block in her wagon. She met the cutest little puppy that our neighbors were taking care of and she enjoyed it licking her and trying to jump in the wagon with her.

This afternoon we headed to Aunt Kathy's house for Christmas with Jeff's family. Since Jeff's parents head south for the winter, we like to have Christmas with everyone present. Aunt Kathy and Cousins Calvin, Maria, and Joshua have quite the animal menagerie, so Gracie got to pet some kittens, see some dogs, harass an indoor bunny, shake up the cage of the love birds, watch the fish swim, and pet a chin-chilla. She was loving all the animals. For not having an afternoon nap, she did very good. She received many fun presents, many of them music focused, so that was a huge hit.

Gracie fell asleep on the way home, awoke as we entered the garage. She gave Jeff and I huge smiles and then I carried her into the house, changed her into her pj's and she went right back to sleep. What a busy and exhausing, yet very fun day.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie

What a fun idea... Christmas in the summer time... I'm curious... was there a tree to go along with the gifts?
