Happy Christmas Eve Eve! Our house has been filled with holiday spirit, and I must say Christmas with a little one is way more exciting than it ever has been before. Grace is very excited about presents, Santa (though she is still not interested in getting too close to him), lights, and cookies! We have been decorating and baking, and Grace is definitely having fun. It will be so exciting to see her when we come down the stairs on Christmas morning and Santa has been here. Some of Grace's favorite words are perfect for the season - Santa, cookies, lights, and then others include juice, cup, jump, banana, mama, daddy, yeah, and most recently, no. Not a fan of that one! She had her 18 month checkup today and is in good health. She remains on the teeny tiny side as far as weight goes, but I suppose it's better than the opposite!

We are looking forward to spending Christmas Eve with family, going to church, and of course opening the ever exciting present before bedtime (any guesses as to what it will be?!). Christmas morning breakfast will be at our house with presents galore, and then over to my mom's (aka "nana") for dinner with more family. I hope the season is filled with joy, hope, and most of all love for all of my friends and family. And I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Christmas!
