Christmas Day

Grace woke us up at a very dark 4:15 am!!!! AUGH!!! So we brought her into our bed for a little while. She had a cup of milk and watched her Pooh Christmas movie while mommy and daddy tried to get a little more sleep. Finally at 5:00 am we got out of bed and headed into the living room to see if Santa had come. Grace was so excited to see the pile of gifts under the tree. We got her started on her stocking. She was so excited every time she pulled something new out of it. It was so fun to watch her excitement! After opening her stocking I popped some cinnamon rolls in the oven and gave Grace the go ahead to bust into opening her gifts. She got a scooter, a helmet for riding the scooter, a puzzle, a play laptop, playdoh caddy, a game, some building blocks, and a play baking set. After all of the excitement Daddy and Grace settled into playing the game she got while mommy got a shower and packed the car to leave. We were on the road headed for Corona by 9:00 am.

Once at my Mom and Dad's house in Corona we had some brunch and relaxed until Kelly, Chris, Tristan and Hailey came over about 3:00 pm. Once we got all of the kids to sit down the gift frenzy began ... The kids got so much great stuff. Grace had 3 favorite gifts, a fuzzy backpack that has a pink poodle attached and it is a roller bag. She was rolling that thing all over the place. One of her other favorite gifts was a play Dirt Devil vacuum. It runs by batteries and it actually has a little bit of suction. She went around vacuuming everything. Last was the big gift from my parents ... a TRAMPOLINE! It is a little triangle shaped one and it has handles to hold onto while you jump. After getting it put together Grace climbed on it and went BONKERS! She was a maniac. Needless to say, she loved it.

After a nice dinner and yummy desserts we got Grace down to bed, rearranged the car, and turned in early hoping to get some good sleep before getting on the road early the next morning.

Next ... Our trip to San Francisco!
