We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Here are some photos and updates of our first Christmas as a family of three:

I had to include this cheesy face she makes, it's just too cute!
We started a tradition a few years ago of getting Chinese food on Christmas Eve. Grace is getting to a point where she demands that we share our food with her when we're eating at the table, so even though I brought a thing of baby sweet potatoes to feed her, she mostly just wanted to eat the rice.

We had all of Emily's family over for a Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchange. The nieces and nephews put on a little Christmas nativity, we originally were going to have Grace play the part of baby Jesus, but figured she wouldn't lay down in the "manger" and is way too big for any of her cousins to hold. So, she was an angel with her cousin Sarah:

Mostly, Grace was interested in playing with the plastic animal figurines that her cousins had brought.

Christmas Morning!





She was way too spoiled by her Grandparents! Really, how many toys does a baby need? :) Mostly, she just wanted to eat the wrapping paper and chew on the bows.
We love this sweet girl so much and are so grateful for our wonderful first Christmas together.
