We would have had a Blue Christmas without you!

The Weiss family braved the cold and ice and headed down to Highland on Saturday. Besides the short incident we experiecned in Springfield where I thought I had given Gracie and overdose of medicine, we had so much Christmas fun planned. On Saturday we went to Aunt Marsha's house. Cousin Jill had Gracie's name and she got some Dr. Seuss books and a peg farm puzzles that makes noises! Thanks Jill! Gracie loves them though. She had fun playing with her buddies Maddie and Sydney. They were being silly girls and climbing the couch but we did get some cute pictures of them. On Sunday we had Christmas with Papa, Grandma Vicky, Uncle Chad, Aunt Mandi, Kevin, Hunter, Jordin, Uncle Corndog, and all at Uncle Frog's house with Chisty, Alex, Drake, and Maddie (Angel and Sable too). Gracie is a luckly little lady because she got some dollies, one that talks when you move her hand, a toy puppy (because Daddy really wants a real one), clothes, and some more books. She really is getting into the dolly thing and I am so excited! Barbies here we come next! Maddie and Gracie had fun playing with the babies. We also went and saw Daddy's friends Ryan and Jody and their two kids Bailei and Ryley. They gave Gracie a pink keyboard and that kept her occupied on the car ride home today. We also made one more stop to Grandma Sue's and she must have thought Gracie was an extremely good girl this year because Gracie got a couple Little People sets and a Belle (Beauty and the Beast) tea set! (That will go great with what Santa may be bringing!) We had a great time visiting and seeing everybody. It's hard to always get together with family but we should make more time to do that. Gracie ended up getting sick while we were there. She had a runny nose before we went but today she woke up with a fever and was coughing so we visited Dr. Bierma today and he said Gracie had a sinus infection. Poor little thing! But at least she has an antibiodic so hopefully she will feel better by Christmas! But anyways, thank you everyone for the gifts. You were all way too generous. We already miss you and hope to see you soon. Remember, you are always welcome to visit. Merry Christmas Highland Family! We certainly would have had a blue Christmas if we hadn't come!
