The true meaning...

sure Christmas is fun with the gifts, but that is not what is all about. It's also about family and being together with your love ones

Christmas Morning

I must have been a good girl this year, when I woke up I had a room full of surprises (not gifts I call them surprises) and I loved everyone of them.

New earrings

I few days ago Jan stopped by and give me a surprise...new earrings. Mommy finally talked me into changing my old ones and I put these in and I must say it was a great touch to my Christmas dress.

Little Cook

Christmas Eve morning I was able to help Grandma make some spinach dip. I also was able to try it and I loved it. Am starting to also become such a great helper, even when you don't really need or want me to help an still there push a chair or a stool to get involved.

Last trip of the Year

Today was my very last trip to American Girl for the year. Grandma and mommy took a unplanned trip to see bitty and while in line a took a look around at some stuff in the store I never see

My First Hair Cut

We said good bye to the baby hair and the baby look. Now I look like a big girl. I got my first hair cut and sat in the chair like a big girl while Lu cut and stlyed it

On a cold Sunday morning grandma and mommy went down to see the American Girl Christmas windows. We didn't stay long since it was so cold, but I was able to take a look at the bitty stuff and say hi to the bitty twins. I can't wait for my 3rd birthday to go pick them up but for now they stay at the store.

Road Trip we Go

Saturday bright and early morning Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, and me left for a three hour drive! We were headed to Oshkosh, Wisconsin to go to an outlet mall. I know we have a few outlets malls here so why drive three hours away you ask....well they have a American Girl Outlet! That would be the only way I would put myself in a car for three hours. Mom wont tell me what she bought because it is my Christmas gifts, but I can;t wait they had some good deals there.

UPS for me

The door bell rang and me and mommy didn't know what or who it was so when we opened the door and the man said package for Gracie Franklin. Mommy was shocked and wondering who it was from, and then we looked at the return address and know since I order from American Girl often I knew what it was. But the next question was from who.....





...well it was from my Godmommy for my 2nd Birthday and early Christmas gift. What more could a girl ask for, she knows how much I love my Bitty and even got me a outfit to match. I can't wait until spring to were it and even take pictures in it.
