Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa's!

Ronnie performed in his church Christmas play & is doing motions for "O Christmas Tree" in the pictures below. He has a huge fear of getting on stage, so we were very proud of him! He did a great job. I also have Christmas pictures of my family's Christmas celebration and a Santa picture. We had such a wonderful Christmas. This is the first year that we really got into the whole Santa thing. Ronnie got just what he wanted from Santa - a Spiderman tower! We made cookies & left them for Santa. It was just so much fun to watch him help Gracie unwrap her presents. He picked out 2 dolls for her & was very excited when she started chewing on them. On to the pictures...

Grandpa read the Christmas Story.
I love you Uncle Rob.

"I want to sit where I want to sit Mommy!"

Cool! I'm buried in the presents!

Give me that Daddy.

Bathtime fun!

Now that Gracie can sit up on her own, I put her in the big tub. She was just splashing & Ronnie had a ball laughing at her. I had to capture the moment. I tried to make sure their certain parts weren't showing so no one would call CPS on me!

I stole this picture from Beth's blog!

I just had to post this! This is a picture of a happy Gracie with a full belly & formula all over her face. She went to the doctor yesterday for her 6 month checkup & her height is off the chart. She is a big girl who enjoys to eat!!! :)

This & that & picture Overload!

So many things happening for Gracie's first Christmas! We had our Roberts family Christmas in Brown County. We stayed in a cabin in the park & had a wonderful weekend together. It snowed several inches & was absolutely gorgeous. We went shopping in little Nashville. Gracie opened her own presents. She ripped into the paper like a pro. Of course, it went right to her mouth. Ronnie was the helper & passed out all of the gifts. He is old enough to really enjoy the spirit of Christmas. We had a birthday cake for Jesus & sang happy birthday to him. Also, Ronnie had his preschool Christmas play and it was so entertaining. Ronnie was a wise man. There were very few boys, so he was destined for a great part! He told me later that he hated his purple costume, but he didn't complain. Enjoy the pictures.

My cute Christmas dress!

Yummy carrots! Need I say more?

Oh, wait! Yummy green beans too!

Happy 6th Months Gracie!

I cannot believe my little girl is 6 months old today! Time has gone by so fast. She's rolling everywhere & is sitting up now (with some pillows for support). She is even trying to crawl & has managed to do the army crawl several times. Ronnie took his time to do these things, but she's in a hurry to get around. I think I'll have my hands full. She manages to find any hazard in the house -- cords, crumbs on the floor, outlets, etc. She's a very curious child. So much has changed since she was born. I have a great new job working from home. Ronnie goes to preschool now instead of full time daycare. I love spending more time with my kids. Gracie is my alarm clock now. No more getting up at 5am & dealing with rush hour traffic. I am truly blessed and just wanted to thank God for all of my new blessings! Here's some 6th month pics of Gracie...

I love Aunt Rachel

On another note, today is the day my Grandma died when I was 10 years old. I always remember this day because it happened the day before Mom's birthday. I have been thinking a lot about her lately because my dad is writing an autobiography & I have been lucky enough to read some of the chapters. It has been really neat to read about Grandma from my dad's perspective. Love ya Grandma!

Yea Snow & Happy Birthday Mom!

We celebrated Mom's birthday & the first snowfall this week! I have pictures to prove it... Mom is one year away from that wonderful Medicare! It is always fun to get the family together. The kids were playing Hide N Seek & it was hilarious to watch them hide in the same spots over & over again, only to be surprised that they were found at all! On to the pictures...

Happy Birthday Mom!

Do ya like Gracie's ponytail?

Yum! These brownies ROCK!

Yummy snow!

More Pictures

Not much new here. We are heading to my Mom's today for her birthday celebration!! Happy early birthday Mom! My friend Beth shares the same birthday. I will have new family pics after today.
