Santa Baby

We have been having so much fun this Christmas season!!! Grady keeps us smiling and it is so much fun to do our usual Christmas traditions with our little guy!!!

Grady got to meet Santa for the first time!!! I was really worried he was going to freak out like most kids do, but he just played with Santa's beard and even gave me a smile.


Here is Grady sitting with all of the yummy treats we baked and the cards we sent out to family and friends!!


Our little guy always keeps us smiling and laughing. He is the cutest and sweetest thing ever!! Honestly, who could resist these cheeks?


Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Holiday Happenings

We had a great Thanksgiving this year!!! Grandma and Grandpa Breckenridge were up in Utah spending the holiday with Aaron's sister Brie, so we got to spend Thanksgiving with the Nielson Family. We had so much fun eating until we were sick, playing Clue several times so we all had a chance to figure out who did it, having Mario Kart Doubledash tournaments, and just being lazy watching movies. I think Grady had a great 1st Thanksgiving...he wasn't so sure about his first Thanksgiving dinner though!!!

Grandpa decided to give Grady a turkey leg. Grady was less than enthused by this and...


this, his first taste of mashed potatoes. The picture says it all!!!


It was soooo cold up in Snowflake!!! Here is Grady all bundled up ready to go play outside.


Here he is braving the craziness in the game room taking part in the annual Mario Kart Doubledash tournament.



And of course, once we got home from all the Thanksgiving festivities we had to put up the Christmas Tree!!! It was wonderful decorating the tree with our first baby. Grady had fun playing with the lights and was mesmerized by the shiny ornaments.

Cutest Present Ever!!



Overall we had one of the best Thanksgivings ever!!! It was great getting to spend so much time together and with our family. We hope everyone had a great holiday and now we can't wait for Christmas to come!!!
