New Year's Eve

Went up to PA to visit Ryan's cousin Miki and her family for New Year's Eve. Grayson went to bed of course but we had a great time ringing in the 2010 with their family and some of their friends. Since their kids are older, Grayson looks up to them and loved to play with them, and they are all so great with him, it was really cute to watch. The highlight was a cash register toy that he had a blast playing with, and he was so serious about it that it kept the rest of us in stitches.

Birthday and Christmas Year 3

This was the year that you wait for as a parent, the year that your child begins to understand Santa which makes it so much fun for everyone. Every time he opened a present, he would say with a sparkle in his eyes, " I am so excited or I can't wait." Of course, we went overboard as every parent does making it slightly overwhelming but who doesn't right? Part two of the day was birthday presents followed by a few neighbors over for cupcakes and singing. The highlight was Grayson singing to himself which brought laughter and tears to my eyes.
