The winter break is coming to an end, and boy am i going to miss hanging around the house with Gracie...in some ways. I know mom is excited though to start watching her again on Tuesdays and thursdays. But we have had a fun break.... i won't rehash previously mentioned events, but our New Years eve was not a fun one. I went the the firework stand and requested pretty things that did not boom or squeal etc. so Gracie would watch the show... the first one we set off whistled and banged and lead to a full hour of screaming...i should have known better, but i wanted to have a fun family event, selfish i know but i couldn't help it

but outside of that drama, we have been going outside every afternoon once it has warmed up, and that by far is gracie's favorite part of her day.

But while we are inside, Gracie is ALL GIRL...unlike me. We play with dolls, and jewelry, and purses, and play with our new kitchen center. She is so busy and loves playing, but she

takes after her Aunt Omi, because i was NOT a doll person growing up...boy does life change when you have kids

But i do wish you all the best for 2009
