Stockings

I forgot to add the pictures of our stockings from Christmas, so here they are! Daddy's and Jackson's were empty this year, they were on the naughty list.

Grady's Snowman

At school, Grady colored a snowman and his teachers put a nice little winter poem with it. So cute!

Day After Christmas

Today we went to the mall to get some socks for Grady and winter boots for myself. We had a little play time in the mall because it's just too cold outside.

Grady at the top of the slide; he likes to sit there for about 10 seconds before he slides down. I wonder what he's thinking about...

Our backyard when we got home.

Present from Santa

Grady woke up this morning not knowing that Santa was going to leave him a present! When he woke up and saw this gigantic thing wrapped by the tree he seemed a bit confused. He slowly, but surely, got it open.

His new kitchen!

Christmas Night

After dinner and presents, we had a little picture session by the tree.

Santa Claus Visit

Yesterday we went to the mall to visit Santa Claus. Lately, Grady has been very interested in this Santa Claus character. He sees his picture and says, "Claus". When we approached Santa, Grady seemed to be fine and even gave him high five. As soon as I put Grady on his lap, Grady was not so happy. Picture below.

In line for Santa

Doesn't seem too happy here but maybe next year will be a bit better

Grady and the Tree

I have caught Grady playing with the ornaments quite a bit lately and he also likes to pull the lovely ribbon mommy put up on the tree. He also spends much of his time playing near it too, very sweet.
