Before We left for Wisconsin we went to the dinosaur museum with some friends. Grace loved it! Well, she loved digging in the sand at the end for dinosaur bones. What she didn't love...the SHARK! You can't tell very well in the picture but she freaked out when Mark brought her close to it. Pretty funny. But Rocco bud on the other hand liked it. You can see his big smile right in front of the sharks mouth.We have a bad reputation in our house of giving gifts before the actual holiday. Actually Mark and I have been married almost 5 years and I don't think we've ever given each other a present on the actual date it's supposed to be given. I thought I was bad at surprises and then I married a person who is even worse than I am! We both just get so excited when we buy the gift that we can't wait to give it to each other. So we don't wait! I know we're really bad! So unfortunately this means we also gave Grace and Rocco their presents before we even left for Wisconsin. Grace got a new table thats just her size. Isn't it cute? It even matches our kitchen perfectly.
We had a blast in Wisconsin. Besides the fact that I was FREEZING! It was a lot of fun. We went sledding, Ice skating, made sugar cookies (I think Grace ate more than she made), looked at lights, went to lots of museums, and just hung out. Grace loved playing with her cousins, Jack and Will. And we got see our newest nephew, Ben who was just 3 weeks old, so cute! It was a good time had by all! Grace loves to do the cheesiest smile in almost all of her pics. She tilts her head and squints her eyes. She doesn't normally smile like that but eveytime she see's a camera thats her "cheese" smile.
On a side note...I've started potty training Grace this week. And it's not going so well. So if you have suggestions, tips, or advice please send them my way!
