The big 2!

Wow, I can't believe that Gracie is 2 now. She had a good birthday with singing and cake and even a balloon of Minnie mouse! MeeMah also spoiled her with a new wardrobe, so that has been a lot of fun...hopefully some more pictures to come of that! Gracie is getting so big and runs everywhere and tries new words out everyday. I can't believe a year ago we were in the hospital on her birthday getting a broviac placed and just hoping and praying that we would get the phone call for a new liver...that didn't come for two more months. She is a brand new little girl and it is so fun to watch her get bigger and better all the time.

Singin' in the rain

Gracie was having a good old time in this rain puddle, so I had to get some pics!

Birthday

So I am now officially 30, but my dad said this was his favorite decade (although this probably changes with every decade he goes through), so I am looking forward to it. Plus everyone was so sweet on face book with well wishes, that I really don't mind my birthday! Stuart was out of town so Gracie and I headed over to Disney World since you get in free on your birthday! What a deal! It was really fun and of course Gracie had fun seeing the parade and the castle. She is already into the princesses, all on her own accord, so that is interesting. Stuart even taught her how to say princess, which is really cute. So here's to 30 and goodbye to my 20's.

A day at the beach...

That's right, we are at the beach in Jan. I guess that is why some people love living in Florida. We had a really good time and Gracie even went in the water a little bit. It was a little cold, so once she fell down in it she was pretty much done. It was very fun and relaxing though, and a beautiful day together before Stuart left for Mississippi.

Gracie in her Christmas dress, very cute of course. I actually bought this last year so I was so lucky she still fit in it. She just got these Elmo slippers (thank you after holiday clearance!) and I thought they were pretty funny. She says Elmo almost the same as she says momma, so you really have to listen or it is confusing.

Late Disney pics

Gracie does not like seeing the characters up close, even when it is a dog like Pluto.

We had to wake Gracie up to get this shot, but it was a pretty night with the castle all lite up for Christmas. We really aren't obsessed with Disneyworld, or rich, Stuart works here part time and gets us in for free, so why not do something as a family for free.

It's my birthday month, so that is why the backround is so festive. And to anyone else that has a birthday this month, then Happy Birthday to you as well...it's a good month to celebrate! My husband will miss my birthday this year, but this is the third year in a row so I guess it is now a tradition with us. But I am not complaining because he will be working and we are so thankful for that right now. Oh and Happy New Year to all, I hope this year is great for everyone!
