Santa Clause is coming for breakfast!

As a kid I always loved Christmas, and I still do. Last year Grayson was just a month old and Christmas was just another day to him. This year I wanted to start some traditions to help make this holiday extra fun for him. One event that I planned was Breakfast with Santa. We invited some of our friends and their children over to enjoy this event with us. We also collected toys for the Collin County Advocacy Center. I think as Grayson gets older, it's important for him to understand how blessed he is with all he has and that it is our duty to help those who are less fortunate. The breakfast was amazingly fun!!! Grayson is not so much a fan of Santa just yet, but I'm hoping he will warm to the idea as he gets a little older. :)

Happy Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grayson turned 1 year old on Nov. 22nd. This year Thanksgiving also fell on the same day, so we decided to throw a party a little early. We went with a baseball theme and served baseball foods like hot dogs, cracker jacks, and nachos. Grayson had a blast seeing all of his family and friends. It was nice to see all of the love that surrounds our little guy.

As a mommy it was a bitter sweet day. While G only gets to be more fun as he gets older, part of me wants to keep him a baby forever. The year seems to have gone by so fast, as all my friends with older kids warned me, but it was faster than I was even prepared for! Ugh, I guess there is nothing I can do to stop time, so I'll just enjoy the moments as they come.

Daycare Birthday Party

 Grayson is so blessed to have the best child care provider on the planet. His first birthday was extra special because he got to celebrate with all of his friends at daycare.

Grayson's First Halloween

Grayson enjoyed his first Halloween trick or treating with our sweet neighbors. Our neighborhood always does a little parade and festival before trick or treating, but this year they did it a few days early. We enjoyed watching the kids have their fourtunes told, play games, get their faces painted, and even took part in a hayride around the block. Our little monkey had a great time. We cut the trick or treating short so we could get home for bath time, and let's be honest, there is no way I was going to let him eat all of that chocolate and sugar. :) It was a memorable time for sure!

Fall Is Here!

 Fall is here, and in true fashion we took a trip to the Grace Avenue Church pumpkin patch! It was sooooo windy, but Grayson was a good sport and accomodated with a few pictures. Nothing says fall like a little boy in a pumpkin patch with his football shirt on!

Happy Birthday Lilly!

Grayson helped his friend Lilly celebrate her first birthday at the park in Richardson. The weather was gorgeous!! We enjoyed looking at the ducks in the pond, swinging, and of course we had to give Lilly a little birthday love! :)

Old McDonald Had a Llama??????????

We celebrated the Churchman girls birthdays with a petting zoo farm theme. Grayson was especially interested in the llama. He also saw small pot belly pigs, goats, sat on a pony, and saw ducks and chicks. It was lots of fun!
