Christmas was just wonderful this year, even more exciting than the last! Grayson was really into the whole idea of Christmas! He talked about Santa coming and going down the chimney to bring him gifts. He helped mommy make special sugar cookies for Santa. He was all too excited to put them on his Santa plate along with carrots for the reindeer and milk for Santa to wash down the cookies. Grayson sang his Christmas Jingle Bells. That was his favorite solo this year and last! We got him singing it on video and wishing baby Jesus a Happy Birthday! Grayson also made a ginger bread house we are proud to display, he is also.
Grayson just loved all Santa brought for him. He got a lot of the Super Hero Squad Collection along with the play set. I have never seen him play with one toy nonstop! I think it was a hit! Of all his gifts, the Squad Collection has been the favorite. After present opening, we had our traditional breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Grayson has his favorite, pancakes. Later that day, Grandpa and Grandma came by to visit to see what Santa had brought for Grayson. That was a special treat. This past weekend, we went to Grandpa and Grandma's to celebrate with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Mike. Grayson was such a helper, passing out all the gifts and helping to open as well. Everyone is playing Elefun with Grayson in the first picture, one of Grayson's new games. The object is to catch butterflies in your net.This has been an exciting time of the year for us all! It always is! My parents always made Christmas very special and I have always continued to carry that on through celebrating with Marc and now with Grayson! Santa still leaves a letter at my parents for me and my sister and now Santa writes one for Grayson every year. Marc makes sure of that! :)
Looking forward to the next year, I am counting down the days until baby Mathias! I am past the feeling good stage, if there was ever one with feeling so sick and have now crossed over into the almost unbearable, uncomfortable stage. I feel like I can't possibly get any bigger in the stomach area but this is when the baby doubles it's weight so we shall see. Grayson gave me really bad back pain which I don't have this time around but have traded off for horrible pelvic pain. At least going for my prenatal massage every week helps it for a short while. All too exciting anticipating the arrival. Grayson talks about being a big brother and teaching the baby all sorts of things. He is ready to feed the baby he says and hold the baby and teach it to play guys (as he calls his action figures).
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! We are looking forward to what this year has in store for us! February will be like Christmas all over again when we find on it's birthday, if baby Mathias will be a boy or a girl.
