I made a new cookie recipe, do you think Gracie liked them?
My mom sent this new advent calender which we all love. It didn't take Gracie long to figure out what went inside the pockets. Notice the super nice "florida/tropical" furniture in our living room. The theme is thru out the whole house. I know you guys are pretty jealous!

We went to the festival of lights at Disney Studios and it was beautiful. The lights dance along with music every now and then. Gracie was not quite sure if she liked all the noise and movement, but it was really fun. And they had snow machines, so that was really nice to remember our white Christmas of years past.

Generous Friends

I was just going thru Gracie's drawers and taking out outfits that she no longer fits in and exchanging them for the next size up, and I am amazed at how many cute outfits she has. This may sound strange, but the reason this takes me aback is because I have probably only bought her about 3 outfits of the old and the new. Almost all of of clothes have been donated by friends that were "cleaning out their closets", but what a great blessing for us! I can not say thank you enough to all of these people that were so willing to drop off boxes of clothes and toys and you may think it a small thing, but it really was an answer to prayer for us. I can't wait for the day when I can give these cute clothes to someone else starting their family.
