Merry Christmas!

It is hard to believe that Christmas has already come and gone. We had a fantastic Christmas with many celebrations. We spent Christmas Eve with Jason's extended family. We went to church, had dinner, and the kids opened their gifts. On Christmas morning we went to my in-laws house for breakfast and to open gifts. We celebrated our own little Christmas (just the three of us) at home on Christmas day afternoon. The day after Christmas we had my mom, dad and sister over to our house for supper and gifts. Each Christmas celebration was fun and we are blessed to have lots of family to celebrate with!

Checking them out!



When we got home from Great Grandma's we set out milk, cookies and fudge for Santa. Grayson thought this was quite fun.


Perfect!

When the tower of fudge fell over Grayson threw the cookies and fudge in the milk. Instead of cookies and milk, Santa got cookies "in" milk. Grayson was so proud :o)


My mom sent this email of Santa talking to Grayson and telling him he was on the "nice" list. It was so cute. You could program in specific details so that Santa would actually say Grayson and other things like wanting hockey skates, that he was two years old, etc. Grayson was really intrigued with the message and watched it about three times.

At the end of the message Santa waves and says, "Goodbye Grayson, Merry Christmas!" The cutest part was Grayson waving back and saying, "Bye Santa, Merry Christmas!"


On Christmas Day morning we showed Grayson that Santa had eaten the milk and cookies.


Checking out the presents Santa left in his stocking.






Later on in the day he opened presents from mom and dad. I made him this hockey pillow. He thought it was pretty neat and sat on the couch with it while watching his new movie, Cars 2.


Auntie Kaley flew into Minot from Rochester on Christmas Day night. We were at the airport to greet her.

Grayson and a sign that reads, Merry Christmas Auntie Kaley. He held it when she came into the airport. I think she was surprised.

Taking a ride on Auntie's suitcase!
