Busy Weekend Part 3

Finally it was off to the now semi annual Ouper Christmas house walk.

Helping Roberta (who she kept calling Great Grandma for some reason) open her present.
Looking for characters on the character tree.

She kept coming back to this village to look at the rides. Here she is waiting for her favorite horse to come around on the merry go round.

Busy Weekend Part 2

Next up was the church Christmas pageant and a visit with little Ben. Afterwards, we went out to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Shockey.

Party Weekend #2

Grace has been dragging us from party to party all month.


First up was a party with Grandma Carroll at the Kohl Museum of Bullying and Bad Manners. This was a private party so it wasn't very crowded and all the kids were actually there with their parents so they were wll behaved and monitored. I think it's spoiled the museum for me. I don't see how I can go back any other way at this point.

This morning it was her friend Natalie's birthday party at Gymboree which we haven't been to in a long time.

Grace's First Movie

We took Grace to her very first movie in a theater on Friday. She saw the Princess and the Frog and was a good listener throughout the whole movie. If only the rest of the theater was as well behaved as Grace. Especially the woman with the crying baby who kept standing behind daddy.
