Funny Faces!






My boys can make the cutest faces and I love to take pictures of them! Here are a few.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning

The first four pictures are on Christmas Eve of the boys opening their Christmas pajamas and then them wearing their pj's!





Here are some of the pictures from Christmas morning! The boys had so much fun and we had lots of fun watching them. Christmas mornings can only get more exciting!

Bryant and his new bike!

Parker and his bumbo chair he got from Santa!


Victory Camp Train Ride

After the Gray party, we all went to Alvin to eat at Cheddars and to ride the train at Victory Camp. We had LOTS of fun and took lots of fun pictures. Bryant was amazed by the train and LOVED the ride! Parker sat this one out because it was too cold. Aunt Charman kept him inside in the nice toasty building! I have more pictures from this trip and will post them later, but I only had these on Grandma's computer.

Bryant with his hat and scarf on!

Parker and Mamaw..he was in true Christmas spirit!
Parker and Papaw


Me with my two handsome boys!
Bry was so impressed with the train we couldn't even get him to move or talk for several minutes.
Me and Bryant riding on the train...David took this picture and I love it!

Mom and Dad on the train...I think they were having as much fun as Bry!

It was SUPER cold so we were all bundled up tight!

Gray Family Party

On the Sunday before Christmas, we had The Gray Family Christmas Party. Parkers first family Christmas Party!! The boys enjoyed opening presents and we enjoyed visiting with family!




Christmas

Parker really enjoyed his first Christmas, but I think that he liked eating the paper more than opening presents. Bryant was so funny this year he LOVED opening presents and really loved the idea that Santa aka HoHo was coming to our house. When Bryant saw the tricycle that Hoho brought him he said "oh man, a bike" like he had been asking for it all year. Parker got a bumbo for Christmas from Santa (he must like to give those to first timers!) He squealed with delight when we sat him in it. He sat in it the rest of the time while we opened presents. I have lots of pictures and will post them later!

As for the rest of our Christmas it went really well. We missed Grandpa more than anything and we wished that he could have been here with us. It was so special to have presents for the kids that He and Grandma had picked out together. It makes those gifts even more special. The gift that we got from them(a garage door opener with instillation) was also something that they had decided to get before he passed away. He knew what we needed! I am so grateful to have had such an amazing thoughtful Grandpa, but I am also so blessed to have his amazing thoughtful wife as my grandma!

Until next time....

Christmas Card Pictures

These are some of the pictures that I took of the boys for our Christmas card. They were cooperative at first but then Bryant got excited and tackled Parker...the photo shoot was over after the attack.

Parker is like..."What is going on here?" and Bryant was just super excited to have HoHo's Hat!

This is the one we chose for the card! They were both looking at Daddy and laughing at him!

Parker was getting tired..can you tell?

Bryant trying to give his brother a kiss...Parker looks scared. I wonder why! After that was when the tackle happened, I guess Park knew it was coming.


Bryant playing with an ornament...we only have kid friendly ones and he has added some of his own. He has thrown in baseballs, cars, hats and other things that I am sure we will find when we take down the tree!

Saying "Cheese"




My fingers are YUMMY!!

Our other son..CHARLIE! He wanted his picture taken too! He is even smiling for the camera!


Enjoy!
Until next time...

SNOW!!!!

Here are some pictures of Bryant playing in the snow last week. He didn't really know what to do. Parker was still sick so I decided he didn't need to be out in the snow.




He is trying to eat the snow...so cute!!

I thought this was an adorable picture of Bryant and his LaLa(he has decided to call her this we think it's so cute, because she started calling me Nana when she was his age.)

Today, we went with David's family to Bass Pro Shop where they had a Santa Wonderland. It was lots of fun and they got to take a picture with Santa for free...here are some pics from our outing today. Then, we went over to Grandma's to help her put up the Christmas tree...here are some fun pics of Bry and Parker with their cousins.
