Grace's 1st Birthday!!!

Birthday girl in her birthday hat!

Having a ball in her tent...

The birthday dinner table all set - cupcakes for the birthday girl (and her Gran!)



Her first real dose of sugar...

So far, so good...

Dominic is an old hand at this!

Wading through the gifts - another bonanza!


Some video of the evening - Grace started out direct from a nap, so she's a little slow moving at first - but she soon warms up!

New Years Day in Yakima

Grace seems to enjoy using Lily's mini Baby Bjorn!

Lots of snow in Uncle Pat and Aunt Katie's yard...

Oops!

Brrrr...that was cold!

This is better...


Mommy isn't so good at pulling a sled along!

New Years Eve!

Dominic & Grace - looking very angelic!



Dancing with cousin Lily!

Bringing in the new year with some groovy dancing moves...(must get her dancing skills from her Mother)

Finally...Christmas Day!!!

Looking a little dozy first thing in the morning...

Cuddling up to Gran with her broken arm...

Mommy's happy with her Peppermint Bark!

Daddy trying to figure out the puzzle with Papa looking on...

Hugs from Mimi...

Loving her new ball tent from Auntie Karen...

A great new Rangers outfit from Chelsey!

Scaling the mountain of gifts!

Uncle Jim - shock and awe!

Experiencing the joy of opening gifts...

Christmas Eve - exciting!

The tree is ready - full of gifts!

Stockings in the MacLeod tartan - the wool was sent from Scotland and the stockings handmade in Yakima. Perfect combo!

Grace in her Christmas dressing gown and hat.

Ballard is a Winter Wonderland!

The whole street is covered!





Trust Auntie Karen to test the temperature this way!



Enjoying the back yard in it's full snowy glory...

Auntie Karen doesn't like Mommy's doll

No wonder...
