Grace Turns Four!

Here is video of part of Grace's birthday walk at school. They sing that the Earth goes around the sun each year the child has been alive. It's really a beautiful experience and we were so happy to be there with Grace for her special day.

Playing Dress Up...

with Grace's loveable cousin, Haley.

We miss you, Haley!!

Christmas Day 2008

Opening presents!





Grace decides to make herself the present...


Taking lessons from Paula Dean for Christmas dinner...


I think Grace did pretty well this year. Even in a rough economy, Santa found a way to bring her some of her favorite things...and trust me, she was very thankful.

Christmas 2008

There was the Christmas card. This year we had to be a bit creative since Grace was less than thrilled about having her picture taken. Here she is climbing the ladder to our attic (which she thinks is very cool)....





















And the Christmas tree. Mamaw Perkins was on hand to help us decorate for the second year in a row...


















































Lots of Christmas cookies....

















































And Christmas balls...















There were Christmas poses...








































And a Holiday program at Grace's school...
















A Christmas Cruise - Wow! (Many of these pics were taken by Miss Grace!)

And finally, we got to Christmas morning!
