Play Date with Brayden

Grace wasn't anti-social the entire time - she was just taking a break to catch up on some reading.

Brayden has the cutest laugh - I thought this was a cute picture of him.

I had today off of work so my friend Allison (who I went to PA school with) came down from Hudsonville with her son, Brayden, who is 11 months old. He and Grace had fun playing together.

Grace's "Funny Face"

Grace started making this face on her own but it has now been given a title. Phil taught her that when we say "Grace, where's your funny face", she'll do it.....it's hilarious...to us at least.

Grace, Emma and Maddie

The girls all got ready for bed at our house and ended up having matching PJs - they thought that was pretty cool! We thought it was super cute!

Grace enjoyed having Emma and Maddie over for a postponed "Christmas" celebration. Emma and Maddie liked sharing Grace's pink chair. Their gift to her was the pair of pink baby crocs that you see on Grace's feet - how cute! They even have a basketball jibbitz on them.

More Christmas

My family came over on Christmas afternoon for dinner. Grace and Emma had fun together but the biggest suprise was that my brother Eric, who is stationed with the Marines at Camp Pendleton, flew home and suprised us. It was great!

Christmas Day

We spent Christmas morning together at our house. It was such a blast watching Grace discover a few new things that she received for Christmas. By next year she'll definitely have the idea. She absolutely loved the rocking horse that Santa brought her and her new pink converse shoes that daddy got for her in New York.
