We just got back from our annual Christmas Eve Eve dinner. This year, we ate downtown at The University Club. Grace was, of course, an angel and much better behaved than she would have been had we eaten at home. Uncle Shockey was still snowed in back in Colorado but we hope to see him on Christmas morning. Tomorrow morning we go to Grandma and Grandpa Funke's house for our first of two visits from Santa and quite possibly, her first taste of biscuits and gravy.
I highly reccomend the bread. Grace feeding herself for the first time. Feeding herself food that is.
Grace sat in her portable high chair and entertained herself and those around her for the whole meal.

Mom and Grace snuck into the living room while I was taking a shower to sneak a peak under the tree.
Grandma Carroll and Aunt Moira and Morgan came over for a Christmas breakfast. Later, Grandpa Funke, Uncle Shockey, and Aunt Mary Ellen came over to watch Grace open her presents.
Jake got to try out Grace's new tent/house/gym thingy before she did.
Grace got a bunch of new books to read.

Grace loves her new play tent.
After 3 days of excitement in a row, Grace finally started to wear down a little and opening presents wasn't as much fun as it was the day before.
Grandma and Grandpa Bihun brought Grace a few presents to climb on.
Grace put on her fancy dress again to take a picture with Grandma and Grandpa Bihun.
EVERYONE loves Graces new play tent.
It was getting late and Grace was getting a little hungry.
