Believe in the sun, even when it's not shining

In love, even when you're alone

In God, even when He is silent.

Santa 2010

Christmas Eve with Grandma...ice cream cone nail polishes...fun is for sure right around the corner!
Gracie's very own jewelry box

A puzzle to keep Grandma busy...


...and a recordable book that Gracie did for Grandma


Three generations...

Later at Mr. Eddie & Mrs. Robin's Open House...this is Mrs. Lauren looking on as her grandmother reads to Gracie the captions of the photo album that Mrs. Lauren & Mr. Cory gave her for Christmas...

The biggest surprise from Santa... a white Boxer puppy whom, finally, we named Bandit...

Please keep in mind that these are truly Christmas morning pictures...we all crawled out of bed and went to the tree...beware...no makeup or hairbrushes included! ;)

A DSi XL...she's not too awake here, but she has played continuously

anticipation...
True love...

This teddy is as big as she is!

...and now Marmie gets her recordable book from Gracie...

A horsie puzzle...
A perfectly orchestrated Christmas... :)
"I just want to know where my present is..."
The girl loves to build...still
A squeeze to her Pillow Pet monkey
"I have no idea who made all this mess, but it was definitely not me!"
...and a big monkey play mat for her room...
Love from Popi...he got a recordable picture frame!
all tuckered out...
Recognize this little guy, Becky?!
I think she's ready to go back to bed now!
...Bandit had other plans...

Dressed and ready for Popi's sisters to visit...
Aunt Mary loves her stole that we gave her for Christmas... A visit from Mr. Dan and Miss Jacqueline for gift exchanges...
Remember the ice cream cone polishes from Grandma??? Marmie is having her nails done in alternating pink and purple...see what I mean? Fun, fun, fun!!! Our little man...
...and his Mommy
Gracie spent New Year's Eve with Marmie and returned home yesterday, but this is what Jack and I did...
Happy 2011! Make it count! Blessings to all...
