Christmas Eve 2011

Can it be!? Am I actually finally going to post about Christmas Eve!? I am!

It was extra special this year because Grady was a Wise Man in the church pageant. It was a speaking role! He was the littles one with a speaking part, and he did a fantastic job. We were so proud! Unfortunately Mama couldn't make it since she was home with Camille, but Nana, Gaga, grandpa Carl, Dada, and Anson went.

These pictures of Grady as a Wise Man were from dress rehearsal a few days before

He is purposely looking serious here



He was the littlest wise man, by far!

The morning of Christmas Eve started out with Grady giving Cami some love





Playing "Stack the Countries" on the iPad with Nana and Grandpa



Then it was time to decorate cookies



And eat some



The decorating crew



This guy did lots of eating the cookies





He dabbled in decorating but quickly decided he was more into the eating



Nana and the G-Man





An action shot



Different type of action shot - how many cookies did Anson eat!?





Cami makes an appearance!



My little actor by the fire after the show



Papa made a super yummy pasta dinner for everyone



Then we had our annual tradition of Christmas stories by the fireplace







Then it was off to bed so Santa could come! Oh, but first we had to sprinkle some reindeer food on the front lawn. And we left Santa some oj and a special cookie Grady made for him.

I will post the video from Grady's show next!
