Christmas Eve & Christmas Morning



Christmas Eve Service ~ It was a Retro Christmas, 1940's style, it was amazing! Everyone was dressed in the 1940's era. That's my favorite era so I had a fabulous time! We had a candle light service & Gracie was so sweet, she held up her candle and sang "Silent Night" and her little face beamed. Her first candle light service!


This is a new addition to our home. Todd and I said this is our Christmas present to eachother, however, I put money aside all year saving it for Gracie for something, whether it was gymnastic or dance lessons, and he found a great deal on this and so we used it for that! There is something to be said about having a piano in your home, playing it or hear it played and I didn't realize how much I'd missed it. Gracie loves it, plays it & makes up songs, so far it's about Wall-E or jingle bells! So it is a great gift for her as well.

Making yummy Smores at the campfire!

Drinking diet coke...in a can! (the things you allow during holidays!)

Gracie's 1st horsie ride! I am calmly & sternly reassuring her she's fine and to sit, nice mommy. :)

Me: "It's okay...you're fine!" Gracie: "No I can't want it!"

Look at this cautious face.

Okay, she's feeling a little better, it's not so bad but won't let me go.

Throwing hay & having tons of fun!







Nice do! It's so 80's, very fashionable.
