Christmas Night

We had such a great Christmas and I think Grady had the best one so far!! He got a ton of books, a train set, a firehouse, Toy Story dolls and a basketball hoop. These gifts should keep him busy for the coming months.

Christmas Day

On Christmas, Grandma Athena and Grandpa John came over to celebrate. Before they got to the house, Grady opened his present and stocking from Santa Claus.

Makin Cookies

Here's some pictures of Grady and I decorating Christmas cookies...

Snow Play

Daddy and Grady went to the park while I made some Christmas cookies. It's been great to have the snow around this time of year. It is snowing right now and should continue throughout Christmas day.

Christmas Party at School

Last night, Grady's school put on a little Holiday Party for the parents and children to attend. They had face painting, cookie decorating and a glitter pine cone station. Here's Grady in action at the party.

Of course he ate only the frosting

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Aunt Margie sent us chocolate covered strawberries and cheesecake for Christmas. Grady likes to eat just the chocolate and leave the strawberries for us. Thanks Margie for the yummy treats!!

Chuck E. Cheese

We had a few tokens left over from Grady's birthday so we went over to Chuck E Cheese's to have a little fun! Grady loves Chuck E. Cheese and gets so excited every time we go. He especially loves to ride in the car next to Chukie!

Falling Asleep

The other night Grady was watching Kung Fu Panda while laying on Jackie. Apparently he was tired because he fell asleep right on top of him!! How sweet and funny at the same time.

SNOW!!!

It snowed yesterday for the first time this year here in Chicago! It snowed about 5 inches so we got a good deal to look at for the first snow. Grady woke up, looked outside and wanted to go see what this beautiful stuff was. A few pictures of Grady in the back of the house and of the street.

Mama's Boots

Grady likes to strut around the house in Mama's winter boots
