Well, that time of year is upon us...Grace's first Birthday! Ha ha, bet you thought I was gonna say Xmas! We have decided that the tree and decorations won't be up until after Grace's big day, advice from other friends who have children with birthdays close to the holidays.

Speaking of holidays, Grace and I went to see Santa last week and I must say she was a trooper, no tears, but it was close. I think she asked Santa for her two front teeth because that seems to be what she is getting!! A lump of coal would have felt better!

We are getting VERY excited for the arrival of Grace's cousins. Any day now is the word on the street!! YAY!

Well, happy shopping, parking, and waiting in line to you all!!
