Merry Christmas Everyone!! We are so excited to celebrate our first xmas with Grady...even though he won't remember a thing, we will!! I kept my shopping for gifts down to a limited 3 gifts for him, but I think he will love them...he is getting a car he can push for now, and eventually ride on, a Build-A-Bear stuffed cat, and a bouncy house! The bouncy house is a huge blow-up castle that is for the back yard, and you fill it with plastic balls (apparently it's a great gimmick for bday parties)...he won't use it for a while, but I got a steal on it, so I caved. Grady's stocking is stuffed with a Cookie Monster stuffed animal, a book, and some plastic toys to play with...I am always happy with every stage Grady goes through, but standing in line with the older kids with their lists to tell Santa about is something I am looking forward to...Nick says he already knows where he is going to hide the gifts in the house someday too...It makes me feel the excitement of the holiday just like a kid again...what a blessing! I tried to read Grady the Christmas story, but he just wants to rip the pages apart...so far now, we will just stick with singing Happy Birthday Jesus...
