Adams Family Christmas 2007

12-31-07


Where to begin. It was a real Adams Family Christmas. The December celebration known to some as Christmas and to us as the four weeks of Gracie's Birthday is finally behind us. What a trip. I am still tired. Thanks to Mom for being such a great hostess. No Christmas would be complete without a few of my favorite food groups. This year, thanks to Cynbad, we had all of them--except Krispy Kreme donuts. Maybe next year. We all had a wonderful time. Gracie loved her birthday party. The space jump was awesome! Those pictures aren't included here, but hopefully Libby Lu will forward them on. Gracie The Flying Princess must make the blog. Gracie probably summed it up best the night before we left to come back to Selmer, "Dad, I sure did have fun with your Mom."

And of course Christmas morning was fabulous. I really liked the stocking stuffer and the present from Evie. Anita Beth had a good time too, though she has started frequently grabbing her ear lobes and muttering "my preciouses", while spending vast amounts of time shut up in the closet with the lights out. Not sure what brought that on. Gracie just wants to go back to Big Brake. Turns out deer hunting with Diego is her idea of a perfect afternoon. As you can see from the pics, Addie wasn't hard to please. We can't wait for the next Adams family Holiday. Next time, there'll be FIVE of us!

I think the pictures tell the story best. Enjoy.

Christmas at Granny's

We had pizza and presents at Granny's house last night. Gracie is stacking them deep. Presents I mean. She has now had two birthday celebrations and a Christmas. More to come. So far she really seems to like the baby doll. She slept with her last night. She named her Audrey. Addie came out well too. She got some blocks and watch. Her favorite thing to do with the blocks is to put them in the bucket and then dump the bucket over her head. She tries to wear the watch like a pair of sunglasses. We're working with her.

The Birthday Party

12-17-07


Gracie's bouncy party was Saturday. There was so much bouncing. And cake. And presents. Two birthday parties down--one to go. Poor kid.

Here's some pic from the first birthday party. When Gracie's grandfather came to visit.
