Happy New Year!!

Chris & I continued the tradition of PJ's, boardgames & watching the ball drop on New Years Eve...we're old. But for some reason I love it and have no desire to do anything. We also continued the tradition of having our sweet friends, The Baileys, over on New Years Day and it is so fun!

Somebody could not wait to see his girlfriend, Ley Ley! If I tell him we will see her that day he says her name all day long. Soo sweet!

Munchies & Fun!

Is she here yet?!?

At last:) Little lovebirds.

It was a hoot watching them play! They are both the exact same and I think if we left them alone in a room they could both definitely hold their own;)

They even matched in their brown corduroy, great momma's think alike:)

What an amazing year it has been! I cannot wait to see what's in store for 2013... it shall be a good one;)

I love you little buddy! Your Daddy & I can't remember what the years used to be like without you. You have made our days, months, years so much happier. Thank you Lord for this little blessing...

**SnOw DaY**

The day after Christmas it snowed!! Althought we didn't get a white Christmas, it was better late than never! We were all pretty pooped by then, but I couldn't bare to not let Gray get out & play. You could tell Pop was excited about Grayson's first real snow he could go out and play in, so I let them have at it!!

He does not care one bit how cold it is, he LOVES to be outside.

Ready for some fun!!

What in the world is this?!

Why not try it out...

Hmm.. not so bad, haha!

Hehe:) A litte cold buddy?!

Love my little snow angel;)

After a long day of cold snow, we snuggled up in our snowman jammies! (We didn't get out of our jammies for a couple of days after Christmas, ha! We were all exhausted!!)

And just because... this is my little man after church one Sunday. Let's not even talk about how big he looks!!!

~Christmas Day!~

We always wake up and do Christmas morning at our house as a family! It's getting more & more special by the year! I cannot put into words how fun Christmas is with a little one! I feel like I'm a kid all over again:) I love going all out for the holidays & now I have a reason to go allll out! hehe!

Somebody must have been good this year! Nice List: CHECK!

We got a video of Grayson walking out.. he squeeled and kept saying choo choo, choo choo!! It was the sweetest thing! He was so excited!

He then went around to each little thing he got and talked about it and played with it... he got a few puppy dogs & just kept going "arf, arf, arf"!

Even took a minute to draw a little picture! I think he really was so excited about each thing... big or small.

Is this really all mine?!

And the destruction occurred... I have now officially put together a train track more than I have in my whole life. Sadly, I'm getting pretty good at it.

Somebody else was a good boy too ;)

Stocking time!

He could hardly believe Santa really ate the cookies?!

Not, haha! He totally didn't get that part, but was pumped for some cookies!!

Yummmm!!!

Taking Dada his presents, sweet boy!

Too much to handle!

Please excuse my morning look, but this was one of my favorite presents! Chris got me Grayson's first year of my blog made into a book. I love it!! It was 350 pages, haha oops!!

He was over it, but definitely the biggest, best gift we could ever ask for!!!

After we opened presents and got dressed, we went over to Chris' parents house for more fun! Santa visited Bic Bic & Papa's house too!!

I think he liked it:)

We are gonna have some fun this summer! Water tables & grills, oh my!

Cooking like his daddy!

He's obsessed with their cat, Gracie, he was so excited just to get close to her.

Opening presents...

T-Rex from Toy Story!

And Carssss, we love cars!

Getting all the attention of course:)

Wow, what an amazing Christmas!! Grayson was so much fun and I just felt very blessed to get to spend such a special time with my entire family. I can't wait to continue old and start new traditions. It is truely the most wonderful time of the year!

*Christmas Eve*

 We went to my parent's house Christmas Eve! Of course it was a blast... filled with good food, all my family under one roof & some cocktails too:) What more could I ask for?!

 

Grayson was so excited Santa was coming, he was full of himself;)

Aw geezz!

How embarassing Maa!!

Hehe! I love this little man:)

Grayson loves Josh! Now when he sees a picture of him he says "Jaaa" :) 

Up to something!!

 

So glad we all could spend Christmas together... these moments are what matters most.

Suga sandwich!

 

Opening one of his favorite presents from Nonna...

 

His baby! Don't judge, just because he is a boy doesn't mean he can't learn to love babies, and well he already loves them! (no justification here, just a litte note for dada:)

 

He says "baba" so funny with his tongue?! I think he got it from Toy Story 3 because the baby talks like that? Who knows, it's funny!

His best buddy, Pop!

This bottle was short lived b/c he thought it was his! He had fun with it while it lasted though!

 

Happy boy right there!

He got a t-ball set from Lindsey & Josh! He loves it!

 

Josh teaching him some skills!

 

Future Derek Jeter:)

 

We gave the grandparents a picture calendar of Grayson... he was so excited, he loves pictures of himself! haha!

 

Nonna knows the way to his heart, a simple tennis ball to terrorize the dogs:)

 

He was more interested in the tennis ball & playing with the dogs than this big stash of presents...

 

Booo!!! Hehe jk

 

Rain boots from Nonna & Pop! No he's not ready to go hunting Pop;)

Chris got a new iphone!! If you know Chris this is way out of the norm for him...he just got text messaging if that tells ya anything! So proud of him:)

 

And last but not least!! Gray & I are going to Miami for Spring Break!!!!!!! Thanks NONNA!!!! We are soso excited! It's just a girls trip (+1 :) So thankful my hubby approved & is letting me go see all my lovely family in Miami! Cannot wait!
