Grace's First Christmas

Grace's First Christmas - 2007

Grace opened her stocking at our house on the morning of December 23. Then we headed to northwest Iowa and celebrated Christmas with the Hirschman's.
Grace was a huge help wrapping presents for others this year!
Dad and Grace opened their stockings at home. Grace got a light up ball and a Mid-Prairie shirt. The ball was good entertainment for the 5 hour drive to her Grandparents house.

Here's is Grace's first attempt at opening a wrapped package. She did pretty good, but once she got a piece of paper off, it was more fun to put it into her mouth.


She got some really fun toys, and some cute outfits. Too many to list, but thank you so much!!


Here's Grace playing with her presents the next morning. She loves her John Deere tractor.


Here is Grace "reading" the books that Granddad gave her. One of them is her very first Bible. How cool!


Here is Grandma and Grace cuddleing. They both got wore out from the Christmas celebrations.




We celebrated Christmas on Kirk's mom side the night of Christmas Day.


Dad, Grandpa, and Grace - Grace wants to open this gift, but it is Grandpa's. He does not seem to mind sharing.


Dad got to help Grace open gifts. And, of course, the best part was the bows and the paper. Straight to the mouth! Grace got a lot of cute clothes from all her Great Aunts and Uncles, and cousin's too. Great Grandma Hanson got Grace some ABC's blocks, and Aunt Lori got Grace her first Cabbage Patch Doll, as well as making her a bib and another hat. It was a great time!!



Grace and Johanna opened presents at Grandma and Grandpa Puttmann's house on December 29th. More fun!






Well, it was more fun for a while, but Grace was ready for bed.



So, then the girls opened their stocking the next morning. Christmas was very spread out this year!




We also had the Puttmann family Christmas in Sioux City on December 29. We had a great time eating and playing a new game I got for Christmas from Donnie and Bobbi - Buzz Word.

We got back home on Sunday, December 30. So we were on the road for 1 week. We had a great time, but it was nice to be back home as well.
Here is Grace testing out her rocking horse. She got it from her Great Uncle Jeff and Aunt Patty. The new horse shirt is from her Great Aunt Tina.




What a great Christmas!!
