More from December....

Gracie LOVES being around other kids and playing with her baby dolls, so she loves when her buddy Nadia comes over .


A couple of days after Christmas Gracie got really sick and a few days later I caught it. And we were both miserable ( pretty sure it was the flu.. even though we had flu shots) and stuck in the house for about a week and a half. So when we finally felt well enough to run some errands we went to the hardware store. Gracie saw a kids bike in there and started begging. Little did she know I had already bought her one for Christmas, but was holding onto it for a rainy day. So I told her to sit on the couch and close her eyes. She was holding them shut so tight that her whole face was scrunched up.. and when she opened them and saw the bike she was ecstatic. Her eyes got huge and she started jumping up and down, clapping her hands, squealing " Yes!Yes!Yes!!!!"
Now we just can't wait till we can ride it around the neighborhood!
Gracie got an awesome desk/easel for Christmas... and now when mommy is doing homework, she scurries over to her desk and does her "homework" too... she LOVES doing anything artsy. They told me at school the other day that they ended up doing art early that day because Gracie was begging for it!
