Grace's New Dyson

Yes. She wanted a vacuum cleaner for Christmas.
Yes. I bought her a Dyson.
Yes. It actually picks up fur etc.
No. I do not make her stay home on Saturdays to clean.

Merry Newf-Mas

China Doll

Stella Blue

Mark thinks I neglect taking photos of them and they probably have hurt feelings - which is why they are such a nuisance to me.
This is just to prove I haven't buried them in the backyard (yet).

A Post Christmas Cuddle

Spent yesterday recuperating on the couch by watching Doh-A-Dear (aka Sound of Music)

Campbell, Svette,O'Flaherty, Margerum Christmas

Auntie Chrishy...

...Turned me into a fairy!!!!
What a fun fun fun gift. She calls the "magic wand" her "number one". She makes me laugh.

Best Friends!

Whenever you ask "Grace, who's your best friend?" Her quick response is "My Dylan and Shae". They are SOOOOO good with her. Holly says they ask about her a lot, too. Wish they would move to the eastside!!

Wings of Grace

Grace's tea set from Nonnie Claus is called Wings of Grace. Could it be more perfect for her?

YES! Santa Brought FIVE!

Mommys Best Present

A BIG OLE SMOOCH from Grace. I got EXACTLY what I wanted from Santa :)

Grace Made This

Isn't it sweet!?!? (its a votive holder)

Hannah Tanna - Aka Mylie Cyrus

Ok. If you don't know who Hannah Montana is, turn on a television. Grace loves her. Even knows that Hannah Montana is her "stage name" and her real name is Mylie. (She pronounces it more like "Miles-zee").
Grandpa and Grandma Svette sent Grace a karaoke machine and now she thinks SHE is "Hannah Tanna".
So fun.

Whoa!

Check out my stocking!

After Santa Claus!

B.S.

BEFORE Santa Claus

Cheers!

Here's to Ho Ho's arrival tonight. Merry Christmas!

Glad to be over the CHEEEESE Phase

Now she really knows how to ham it up for the camera :)

The Nutcracker Ate the Mouse King

So. Mark and I are busy doing whatever we do and Grace keeps telling us over and over, "Mommy, Daddy, THE NUTCRACKER ATE THE MOUSE KING!" "Ok Grace. Sure. Whatever you say" (our typical response when we have no idea what she's talking about). Until we turn around to see that she has taken a mouse Christmas ornament and shoved it into the Nutcracker's mouth.

She cracks me up!
