Grayson's Christmas Program

This post may be a little long with pictures and video from Grayson's Christmas program at the hospital Chrismas party. Grayson didn't know all of the songs...he hadn't been to school a lot before hand, but it was cute anyway. Just remember these are the 3 & 4 year olds at his school.

Checking out the decorations

Jingle Bells

Visiting with Santa

Meet Max

Meet our elf Max. Santa sent Max to our house because the kids had been so good, so far. Max reports back to Santa periodically to let him know how Grayson and Reagan have been behaving. The one thing about Max is he likes to get into mischief. Santa even warned us about this in his letter. Below you will see a picture of Max. For some reason he decided to try flying with Grayson's balloon. Fortunately, he landed on one of the beams in the living room. Unfortunately, he couldn't get himself down so Grayson had to stand on Daddy's shoulders to get him. Let's hope Max doesn't get into much more trouble before he goes back home on Christmas eve.

Grayson's Christmas tree

I will try to post pictures of all of the Christmas trees as they are completed. Here are a few pics of Grayson's tree. In the past we have always decorated it with dog ornaments, but now he's in the new house he has a big boy room complete with trains. It is hard to find train ornaments, so I decided to use his trains from his train table. I still need to put something at the top of his tree and we haven't put out his train that goes around his tree, but it's a good start.

Elf yourself

Enjoy this Christmas video. Just make sure you have your volume turned on.

Oh my!

Ok, I have to give you some back story before you view these pictures. A few weeks ago Grayson has a thanksgiving program at school. His teacher painted his cheeks to look like Indian war paint. He LOVED it. On Thanksgiving two of his cousins used play makeup to paint his face again. He would get mad when they took it off. So today I was in the bathroom getting ready when I noticed it was quiet....TOO quiet. I went to find the kids and found a shut door. Not a good sign. I opened the door and this is what I found.....

What's even worse is that while I was posting this they found the yellow paint and started doing the same thing. Now I have to find a better hiding place for the paint. Thankfully both times it was the kids fingerpaints.

Christmas Lights

Mark and Samson hung up our lights outside. Here are a few pics of them working on the lights. I will post some of the finished product later.

Snow

Here are a couple of pics from the snow we had earlier this week. I almosted waited too late to take the pics. The snow was already melting.
