It's Christmas Time!

This is Grace's first Christmas with us. What a blessed time!

Grace seemed to really enjoy herself at all the parties we went to.

On Christmas Eve, we went to see our friends up the street. They had great food and friends for Grace to play with. It was a late night for her. I think we left around 9:00 PM.

On Christmas day, Grace had a great time opening her presents. We called up my parents on the computer so that they could see Grace enjoy opening her first Christmas presents from Pap Pap and Grandma. She really ripped them open and could not wait to play, even at 18 months, Grace is already very aware of what is hers. We then went to have Christmas dinner with some friends from Church. There were quite a few people there and 3 black Labs as well. They train guide dogs and Grace loved them. There was a telling of the Christmas story and discussions about the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. A good time was had by everyone.
Another late night for Grace. We left around 10:00 PM.

Last night we went to another party. We ate more great food, played charades and a "white elephant" gift exchange. (Why does it have to be "white!"). There was also karaoke but we left before then. Grace had a good time as well, although she fell asleep on Phuong around 10:10 PM. Yes, another late night for Grace, we got home around 11:00 PM...she's such a party girl!
