Graham's Birthday Party

Graham decided to have a truck party this year. It was a 'construction' theme. The day was perfect! It was sunny and 65 degrees. I love South Carolina weather! His party was the same weekend last year and we were preparing for snow! He invited several friends from school and the neighborhood. We had a John Deere tractor with a front loader and rake for the kids to play on. We had pretzle sticks that were 'lumber,' cheese its that were 'nuts and bolts,' a cheese ball that was 'spackle and paint, ' and small chocolate donuts that were 'spare tires'.

Graham's Third Birthday

On Graham's actual birthday, December 29th, he enjoyed a morning of opening presents from us and then dinner at Mojo's with family.

Christmas 2011

Christmas is such a different experience with kids. I loved seeing the excitement in Graham's eyes when he opened presents and talked about Santa. We stayed busy over the holiday, but enjoyed time with family we haven't seen in a while.

We opened presents with Mimi on December 23.




We opened presents with Papa, Gaga, Aunt Heather and Uncle on December 24th.





Santa was very good to both Graham and Bryson.









The big present from Santa Clause was a playset for the back yard.

During the month of December:

Graham built a Gingerbread house and Bryson watched.





We visited Santa Clause! Bryson was asleep in his carrier and the nice man that took the family picture didn't quite get him in the picture.





Our friend Jackson visited Santa too. This picture was too funny not to post!


We bought and decorated our Christmas Tree...and Bryson slept.







We enjoyed family time.



Rivers came to Greenville




We watched TV. (Cat and the Hat is a favorite this month)




Bryson celebrated being 3 months old.
