The last couple of weeks seem to have flown by so quickly. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Grandma Carol's (aka Mom's!) with a ton of delicious food as usual, and lots of family and friends. Grace enjoyed watching the Macy's parade, helping Daddy find the best deals in the newspaper ads, and even assisting me with baking (that was fun!). Over the past weekend we had breakfast with Santa and got our Christmas tree. Grace loves our Santa decorations at home, and enjoys whispering "Santa." She did not, however, seem too fond of him in person, as expected at this age. So, no picture with Santa, though we had a lovely breakfast and enjoyed lots of good cheer. Then we headed off to cut down our Christmas tree. Grace loved running through the trees, checking out the chickens, and finding stumps to sit on. I wonder what Christmas tree hunting will be like next year with two little ones. An adventure, I'm sure! I am enjoying listening to all of the new words Grace is saying, her favorite of which seems to be "cookie." She even loves Cookie Monster! She is so polite with her "pleases" and "anks" and I am so glad she nods and shakes her head when we ask her questions as well as continues to use the signs that she knows, makes it so much easier to figure out what she wants. I am not enjoying the little fits that have started int eh last couple of weeks when she doesn't get her way, but luckily they are short-lived and easily cured with a little distraction. I know it's all a part of the age!
Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks:
