Christmas!!

Our first Christmas with our two little boys was so much fun! Grady was so excited for Santa to come and also, to finally open up the gifts he'd been looking at under the tree.  He was up at 2am on Christmas day to see if Santa had been to our house yet!!! Luckily (after confirming Santa had filled up our stockings), he went back to sleep until almost 7am. Even with all the excitement, he did such a good job of being patient during the morning and also thankful for his gifts. He was really sweet giving people their gifts too. For me, the best part of the morning, was sitting back and watching his pure joy and happiness. 

Christmas Eve: Hunter and Grady in their matching monster truck pj's from Grandma RonaLee and Papa Ken. These were a big hit with Grady and they both look so cute!!

Christmas morning: opening his stocking ... he was so impressed with the Smarties ... too funny!

Auntie Heather took Grady shopping so that he could buy his own gifts. He chose lei's and bright, plastic wine glasses for Grandma Liz and Papa Dave!! He was soooo excited to give his presents out. (Sandy received a plastic martini glass and I got a little snowman necklace!!)

Auntie Heather gave Grady a GT racer! Not sure if I'll be able to let him go flying down the snow hill on it yet though!

And, Santa was feeling generous this year ... he brought Grady a fancy mountain bike! (Grady rides his bike every day when we walk Ryder and his old bike was totally broken down. This new bike has shocks, hand brakes, and gears ... which are all new to Grady).

After all the gifts were done, we had a Christmas morning toast ... in our fancy new glasses!
