Gotta love those eyes!!!

I was able to try out a friend's camera this weekend. It's a VERY nice camera and had an awesome zoom lense on it. I really enjoyed using it. It took better pictures than my camera and was fun to use. (My model was pretty amazing too!!)

Guess what I want for Christmas now???

Doesn't she look like Cindy Lou Who???

On Saturday morning we had breakfast with Santa Claus! Every year the math honor society at my school invites all the children of the faculty and staff to a pancake breakfast. The kids eat chocolate chip pancakes and chocolate milk, make Christmas ornaments, and get to meet the one and only SANTA CLAUS. Santa brings a present for each child, and they are even allowed to open it early!! Gracie got a "Leap Frog Alphabet Caterpillar"! She loves it!

There were about 40 kids there and the high school students really got into being Santa's little elves. It was also nice to get to spend some time with my colleagues in a different atmosphere. We were all in parent mode not teacher mode. Bryan, Grace, and I had a great time!

Mmmmmm pasta!!!

Thanksgiving 2008

We all went to Bryan's cousin's house for Thanksgiving this year. She and her family have several acres of land with horses, ducks, dogs, etc. It was such a nice day to relax and enjoy each other. Gracie had a great time. She LOVED the horses!

9 months already!!!

Ok...this picture is funny to me. I was trying to take some pictures of her one morning and she kept putting her toy in her mouth. I took the toy away for just 30 seconds and she had a melt down. Can we say SPOILED????

Cheeeeeeeeeese!!!

I just LOVE this picture!!! What a sweet angel!!
