Finishing Up

The day after Christmas we celebrated with my dad's side of the family and some close family friends. They just come over and we have a little party and all get to visit. It's fun. Gracie did have another surprise to open. The other highlight of her night was Pat teaching Gracie and Jana "magic" tricks.

One funny story from this night...Jana and Gracie were sitting at the island in the kitchen eating dinner and Jana said she wanted a coke. Well, I told her they were downstairs in bar and to go ask Wesley for one. Gracie yells to Jana as she's going downstairs - the beers are down there too as if 5 year old Jana would be looking for one of those as well!

P.S. We celebrated Christmas with Alan's dad and step mom the Saturday after Christmas however, the pictures there are even worse than they were from his mom's house. Next year, I will take any and all pictures!! But Karyn and Alex hosted us and made a wonderful brunch. The kids played and the biggest fun was checking out the Wii Fit and watching Alan imaginary hula hooping!!
