Christmas 2012

This was our best Christmas yet!  What a blessing to be able to see all of our family this year.  Gracie enjoyed all of the time she had with the Gills and Sorianos.  (of course anytime she sees Sydney or Amy is her favorite day)

December 23- Sunday we spent lunch with Granddaddy Gill and family in Alex City.  Gracie walked away with lots of goodies, I won a light up screwdriver and Blake won a little fry daddy.  The screwdriver proved valuable immediately as all the kids were putting batteries in their toys.  
Then we went to my parents house and celebrated with the Vines and Soriano clan.  It was a fun dinner!  Entertainment provided by Gracie and Sydney.

December 24- Christmas Eve we spent as a family of 3 for the last time!  We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Waffle House and then hot chocolate and present opening at home.  Gracie loved the kitchen that Blake built her so much that she refused to help make cookies for Santa.  
She did not mind eating the cookies though....  Santa was lucky that Gracie left him any at all.  

December 25- There is nothing like spending Christmas morning with a 3 year old.  The wonder and excitement in her eyes was the greatest gift of all.  She loves to watch others open presents and to share in the joy of giving.  I love this angel.  
The Gills and Hamils came up and had Christmas lunch with us, and of course, showered Gracie with even more love and gifts.  Even Baby Levi got a present this year!  

God blessed us richly this Christmas.  We thank him for the special moments we had and the memories we made.  Happy Birthday Jesus!  Thank you for allowing us to celebrate the greatest gift of all.
