Big girl!!

The other day I had my hair in a ponytail with a headband, Gracelyn came up to me and said she wanted her hair like mommy's! I thought that was so cute. The last time I tried a ponytail it didn't work, she didn't have enough hair, but this time it worked and I thought she looked so cute. I am not sure if I will put it back up anytime soon though, she looked so grown up it made me kind of sad.

Aprons!

My Mom made Brooklin, Gracelyn and Myla matching aprons. They turned out so cute. We wanted to get a cute picture of all three of them with their aprons on, as you can see Gracelyn was having a rough time! This was right before nap time so posing for a picture was not something she wanted to do!! At least we got a picture of all three of them with the aprons on, even if there is a unhappy 2 year old in the picture!

Christmas Day!

Christmas Day was spent with my family, we had a great time. This was the first year in many years that all of us were together on Christmas Day so it was nice. Gracleyn and Myla was again spoiled with many gifts. My brother Scott made the girls a nice toy box and my sister got Gracie a 4 wheeler and my parents got them some nice toys as well. My parents got Gracelyn a pack of legos and she is loving playing with them. My dad made Gracelyn a nice step stool so now she can go potty all by herself, she really thinks she is a big girl now! Unfortunately Gracelyn will not ride on the 4 wheeler she is scared of the noise that it makes. I am not sure when or why she become scared of loud noises but she is. I'm sure by the summer she will enjoy riding the 4 wheeler outside! ( I hope )

Chrismas Eve

We always spend Christmas Eve with Lance's family. We decorate gingerbread cookies, eat steak and lobster, open gifts and play card games. We always have a great time. Gracelyn really enjoyed opening gifts this year and Myla enjoyed her first Christmas eating all of the wrapping paper. Lance parents got the girl's a gigantic doll house that Gracelyn LOVES, I'm sure Myla will enjoy it when she is Gracie's age. Lance's dad made the " Cranney kid's " gracelyn, myla and any future children we have, a red barn. Lance had one exactly like it growing up, Gracelyn likes farm animals so she will enjoy playing with the barn. The girl's Aunt Trina and Uncle Scott got them the cutest embroidered bags with their names on it, I didn't take a picture I will have to post them later. I love anything embroidered! We had a great time with his family, it is always fun to all get together at the holidays!

Christmas Cookies

This year I had Gracelyn make her Christmas gifts to give to family. We made a few different ornaments and cookies to give out. Gracelyn really enjoys helping me in the kitchen and I enjoy having her in there with me. I let her mix up all the ingredients for the cookies, when it came to putting the cookies on wax paper to harden she just wanted to lick the spoon. She was VERY hyper after making the cookies, she had never had so much chocolate before! We had lots of fun and made some great memories.

Christmas Lights

We took the girls this year to 5/3rd Ball Park for their Christmas lights. They have the whole ball park lit up and you drive through to look at them. Gracelyn really liked to see all of the lights, she was in complete awe. I hope that we can make this a tradition going out and looking at all the pretty lights.
