I think its fair to say that Grayson definitely enjoyed this Christmas much more than last. Although he's only 16 months, he very much enjoyed tearing packages open and had priceless expressions opening every gift, even if it was clothes or something he's never seen before. Elmo, t-ball and his very own "big boy" chair were among some of his new favorite toys. Here are some of my favorite pics from Christmas:
These first two pictures were taken at the Morris Family Annual Christmas Eve soup exchange. These are ALL of Blaine's Grandma's GREAT grand kids! Needless to say, Blaine has a very big family!
Grayson with Grammy as well as with his Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kim.
On Christmas morning we had everyone over to our house for breakfast/brunch. We then took a long walk later later that afternoon to gear up for more food & fun at my parents' house for Christmas dinner.
Grayson with is new buddy Elmo!
Christmas morning with Mama & Dada!
Sporting one of his new outfits from Great Aunt Annie!
Grayson & Rebecca Goodwin! We had the Goodwins over for dinner a few nights before Christmas. My first time cooking prime rib!
The weekend before Christmas, the three of us made crazy quick trip up to Visalia, CA to attend one of Blaine's cousin's weddings. Although we made the trip in just under 24 hours (approx 15 hours of driving!), we were very glad we made the trip to visit with a lot of Blaine's family whom we don't get to see too often. Grayson was an awesome traveler and slept the majority of the trip since we did a lot of the driving through the night.
This is Blaine's Nanny & Papa
I had to save my favorite pics for last. These are Grayson's "buddies" who are all watched by the same babysitter. We've been taking Grayson to this sitter for almost a year now and she is wonderful! Grayson still screams & pitches a fit every time I drop him off (yes, this still breaks my heart!), and yet she is so patient & kind and he always is in a great mood when we pick him up. She makes all holidays and birthdays special for the kids and these are just a few pictures that she gave us for Christmas. I just think it's too cute because she has ALL boys ranging from 7 months to 2 1/2. So here's a couple pictures of "the boys!" One of them was missing this day.
Love the pictures with his school buddies! So cute!! Looks like he's not the youngest anymore :-)
