It was awesome and so exciting to see her really get into it this year. She's the best! I didn't think it could be better than being a kid on Christmas, but it's so much better to be a parent on Christmas. Well... maybe minus the bills.

Christmas Morning
Christmas morning was crazy!!! It was a very different scene from last year. Grace had been saying all week, "Mommy, I got a present for you." So I was really expecting her to tear into hers. And the kid didn't let me down. She was hilarious! There were lots of presents to be opened and she opened them all but took her time to really examine each one. The biggest was her "really big race car", we call it a jeep, but whatever. But I think the best was her camera and backpack.

Christmas Eve with Grams
Grams came over on Christmas Eve and we had lots of fun. Grace got an awesome little rocking horse and we are currently over hearing the song it sings. She also got a coloring tablet that makes music as you color. And she and Grams had lots of fun coloring. It was a great time with a nap that was too short and too many cupcakes.
Nutcracker
The Saturday before Christmas, Grace and I went to the Nutcracker. I had been wanting to take her since her first Christmas, and this year I finally felt like she could sit still long enough to actually enjoy it. It was great! It was a girls trip downtown, then to get a yummy strawberry shake, her favorite. I had intended on taking her to get her first of many nutcrackers, but we found a snow-globe instead. I thought it was rather fitting since it snowed at intermission during the ballet.
Halloween
Halloween was such a nice night to trick or treat. It's too bad we didn't get to. In our parish we went on 11/01/10, and it stormed all day! Sucko. finally when we were getting ready to go, it stopped and we got about five houses in before it started again. It was probably a good thing too, because every time I turned around Jared and Grace had more candy in their mouths. We did not go to bed at a good time.
