Days of Christmas...

Well, we got our wish Monday and had a snow day. It was so nice to stay home all day and get caught up on some household things. Asten was home too except in bed all day with the stomach virus. We are so happy he is feeling better.

Last year, we started the "12 Days of Christmas" where each morning Grady would receive a little gift.
Monday was December 13th, so it was the "First Day of Christmas"!
Grady always goes in to turn the tree on and then see what surprise he has under the tree.
It is so much fun to do this tradition.

On the first day Grady got a chocolate covered pretzel.
On the second day he got a squishy alligator!

On the third day he got a package of Diego stickers!
Here he is on the fourth day turning on the Christmas tree.
He got 3 chocolate Santas!
On the fifth day, he got a monkey that blows up into a punching ball!
On the sixth day of Christmas he got a Toy Story 3 coloring pack!
It's hard to believe there are only 6 more days until Christmas!!!

Yesterday was Grady's last day of school until the new year. They had their Christmas party and all the moms and dads come to celebrate! It is so special. Here are the little gifts the moms made for each of the children.
This is Caid, Grady's buddy! He loves him and follows him around everywhere at school. Caid will be going to Kindergarten next year and Grady is really going to miss him!
Asten drove all the way to Rocky Face from work only to go all the way back after the party and this is the best picture I could get of Daddy and Grady. He is so stubborn. ha!
Before we ate, they did a little Christmas Carol program they had been working on.
Grady wanted NO PART in it! He cried through the whole first song. He sat with me through the other songs.
He was ready to eat though!

Then it was present time!
He was so excited to open up the presents!
Mrs. Carla got him this Buzz Lightyear. He LOVED it!
He flew Buzz around the whole house!
She also got him this Buzz costume set that he has worn all morning long!

We LOVE Mrs. Carla!
He also got 2 Diego books and a Dinosaur from Raelin (a little girl in his class). They each draw names and it's so cute for them to exchange gifts!

This was our favorite:
It was wrapped to Mommy and Daddy love Grady.
They made it out of rice. Isn't is precious?
We had so much fun at his Christmas Party!

Grady's favorite book right now is the Gingerbread Man.
He has memorized all of the chorus and it is so cute to read it with him.
So last weekend, we made gingerbread men.
What a mess we made!
But he LOVED it!
