Christmas Eve was another wonderful celebration with the Peters. Papa J, Margie's dad, joined us for church and dinner.
Gracie got dressed to the nines with her Christmas dress that Nana bought. All night she loved playing with her dress. In addition to the Christmas tree, Nana specifically got out her different moving Christmas toys for the kids to play with. They were the hit of the night until we opened presents. 
Gracie is pointing to the train that was going up around the hill within the tree. 
The presents came after a great meal that the kids tolerated knowing that presents were coming next. Gracie of course enjoyed time with Uncle Bri.

The kids got in their pjs, Gracie got to wear her winter hunting hat ducks for the first time, just before present time. Everyone was so generous with the gifts. Some of Gracie's highlights include her camera, doll play set, ornaments, collectible Gracie doll, books galore, clothes, and so much more. I was lucky to get my label maker, you officially know you are an organizer when you ask for a label maker for Christmas, a chocolate fountain, a new ski jacket and so much more.
She finally got the hang of opening presents, after cousin Alex helped out a little.
We had such a wonderful time talking, laughing, eating, opening presents, and enjoying time as a family. The blessings were all around...that included good driving weather to head to the farm. Gracie didn't sleep until we were about 15 minutes from the farm. She was so excited for Santa to bring her candy canes.
