Graydon's First Christmas

Here are some pictures from Graydon's first Christmas! He didn't really understand, but was able to tear some of the paper from his gifts. He was a real trooper, because this Christmas was really busy for us. We started off with Mike and I being really sick... with stomach viruses so we weren't really in the Christmas spirit. Mike actually ended up in urgent care needing two IV bags because he was dehydrated! Mine wasn't that bad, but we were both pretty under the weather! We had Christmas with Mike's family at Meme's house on the 21st just as we were both starting to feel bad and then had Christmas Eve at home alone, just the three of us. We had a few places to go, but decided to pass since we both weren't feeling well. Luckily, by Christmas morning we were both doing better. We opened our presents as a family and then had Mike's sister Kris, her boyfriend Jason and their dad over for breakfast. His mom had to miss Christmas this year, because she was in New Mexico. (more details in the next blog).

Here are the Christmas pj's Kristin bought for Graydon! Aren't they cute?

Kristin carrying the best Christmas gift! After all the wonderful toys he got Graydon still prefers to play with the broom!

After we had Christmas at our house we headed to my parents house to celebrate with them!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas this year!

3 years! Woo Hoo!

Well, Mike and I have made it to our third year of marriage!!! Today is our anniversary and we had the best time celebrating it this past weekend! We took a trip to Dallas and got to hang out (just the two of us) and even went to a Cowboys game! It was so nice to have some time to ourselves! Although we missed Graydon terribly, we knew he was in wonderful hands! My parents kept him one night, and Mike's the next. They were so excited that they finally got to keep him overnight! It was hard to leave him, but we did have a great time! We did some shopping at the Galleria on Saturday, and then went to the game Sunday night. Here are a few pics from our weekend. This is me getting ready in the hotel room!! We bought sweatshirts and beanies because it was supposed to be cold... the entire game it was 78 degrees!!! It finally did get cold during the fourth quarter so thank goodness we had them! As you can see by the picture below we weren't exactly close to the stadium! We had quite a walk when we were leaving so we would have been miserable without our warm clothes!

These are my not so healthy but oh so scrumptious nachos, that cost $8.00!!!! I knew the food/drinks would be pricey, but give me a break... they were so expensive they were deemed worthy of a photo... as was the beer below! This is by far the most expensive bud light on the planet... it cost me $7.50, and no it was not draft... it was a bottle of bud light that they poured in a cup. Needless to say, it was my one and only!

Here we are during the game! A nice little boy behind us to the picture for us! Below is Mike celebrating after the boys won!!!! Our weekend was truly one of the best we've had in a long time! Being a mom is by far one of the most rewarding things I have ever done, and it has changed my life completely for the better. It was nice to have some alone time with the hubby though, I've missed that!

SNOW DAY

Graydon got to see his first snow today! When we woke up there was a white blanket of "snow" all over our yard and deck. I say "snow" because it was only about a cm deep, but hey, it still counts!!!

And yes, we just woke up, so please don't judge me! Haha!
