Another Christmas has come and gone and 2007 is upon us. This Christmas season was certainly exciting with the crazy weather and power outages. Bob and Carla's annual Santa party had to be rescheduled to the 23rd, but it went off without a hitch (except for Gracie having NOTHING to do with Santa this year) and everyone was back out of the dark. Spent Christmas Eve with the sister and family. Pretty quiet this year as it is just Cody and Gracie. But lots of fun watching them open their gifts. My brother in law baked his heart out that morning and even made Carlie a Chocolate Pie. Then made us a fabulous ham dinner. Christmas morning arrived and Santa brought Gracie a kitchen. Boy was she excited! She absolutely loves it and has already "hosted" several parties. HA! Headed to Carl and Deb's to spend the morning with them and the Scammon's. Gracie was very spoiled and loved all her gifts. I think it was a concensus that her favorite was the "vaccum". She was a cleaning machine! She also loved her nightgown and slippers from Auntie Carleena and the clothes from Grandma Debbie. Did anyone else notice she insisted on changing and wearing BOTH shirts at the same time? Too Funny. The rest of the family joined us later for great food and company. Carl and Deb put on a super feast -- the stuffing...yummy! We waddled home that night and Carlie and I both had the day off the 26th to do a little shopping, get the house back in order and allow Gracie to enjoy some of her things. She loves the LiteBrite that Auntie Kelly got her. Funny how the old standards are still a big hit (Maddy's Jack in the Box?). Daddy put together her Easel the Auntie Carleena got her as well. She has already drawn several pictures. The first one was for Aaron. A purple face with pimples all over it. It told her "that's yucky"....she said "okay, they are freckles then". Hee-Hee.
Here's wishing you all a safe and wonderful 2007!!
