Gracie's 1st Christmas

It's Gracie's 1st Christmas! Aside from all the great food and time with family, this holiday season I am most excited to pass on my family traditions and do all the fun stuff with Grace that my mother did with me. What's more fun than baking cookies for Santa? She's only 11 months old and I'm so happy that she was able to actually help make the cookies!
