Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

And Happy New Year!

We had a great Christmas. X's parents Colin and Sheryle are here from New Zealand and we've been busy playing.

We've cooked a lot!

We've colored a lot...I mean all of us. Graydon won't let a day go by without shoving a crayon into every one's hand.
Christmas Day was full of so much kid fun. We stayed in our pjs all day and just sat on the ground and played! I loved it.

Graydon was so happy. It ranks in his top 3 days of life ever.

You can see the excitement!

He got a kitchen. The plastic hot dog is the favorite!

My boy in his galoshes, stripey pjs, and beanie is my favorite!

We do a lot of "ball" and "shoot" around here now that he found this under the tree!

And we've been eating a lot. Graydon now stubbornly feeds himself yogurt and cold cereal, despite all the adults who watch the mess and cringe! He always steals his daddy's food!
We love you all! Here's to a great 2010!

I remember Ethan at that age, his favorite present was the orange in his stocking. I love Graydon's excitement for a plastic hot dog! (and I love his jammy's) I'm sad we didn't get to see X's parents again, hopefully next visit... The shirts from New Zealand were an absolute hit!

I love the picture of Graydon with Santa! We had the same problem with Liliana. Looks like a great Christmas. Hey, can I have a piece of that 2010 cake? It looks fabulous!
