Okay everyone (especially Coleman side of the family), I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to get this post up from our night at the Carey's house on Christmas. There were so Christmas events and so many pictures to go through and because I am really finicky about making sure the posts are in order, Christmas night had to be last out of all the Christmas posts.
Anyway, a little background on the set up of the post... Little Stephen was absolutely anti-blog so of course I put him first even above my initial text and I never do that (Hee-hee). Colby Miller was excited to be a new part of the Growing Up Grace blog culture so a big welcome to you Colby! And I am embarrassed to say that with all the pictures that were taken on this night I did not get ONE picture of our gracious hosts, Ginny or Big Tim! I think that is because Ginny took most of the pictures! But nevertheless, sorry guys! Thank you for hosting such a huge group of us for a spectacular and very festive Christmas night!

I hope you all enjoy the picture recap of a great night...

COCKTAIL HOUR
Steve Grace Sr. was the one-man-welcoming committee
The Coleman Girls... Kelly, Kyla, and Robyn
Godmommy Katie and her favorite "nieces"
Liz and Jeff Grace enjoying the warmth of the living room
DINNER
Ginny and Tim had prepared a wonderful feast for a sit down dinner for 3 dining tables of guests (plus a mini "just for kids" table for 3)
Colby making his Growing Up Grace debut with his mom (and Ginny's best friend) Kay Miller.
COZY OUTDOOR TIMEPatrick and Marzie! Lookin' hot in pink Marz!
Me, Ryan, Kelly, and Kyla trying to keep warm
Don, Stephen, and Robyn probably doing a better job by staying by the heater!
Colby feels comfortable with the camera now!
Cousins Steve and Patrick. What's in the cup Steve?
Mommy and her big princess
Charlie teaching Kyla all about the ways of the world
Hmmm....Maybe Kyla wasn't paying close enough attention and Charlie had to find a way to remedy that.
GIFTSCharlie wasted no time getting comfortable around a room full of gifts. She tore into any gift someone would hand her whether it was for her or NOT. Uncle Jeff was a big help to help read the tags before she went too crazy!
She was very busy though because...
... someone had to open her sister's gifts too! Ryan had had enough of the day! Thanks Aunt Casey for holding our exhausted little one the whole time!
Thanks to everyone for sharing your Christmas with us!Happy New Year!
Love, The Graces
