THE CUTEST!!!

You may remember Gray and his bottle of "Grayson" chardonnay that his DEAR friends Toniann and Justin gave him when he was born. Well, Gray's very creative Grandparents (Nanny and Grandaddo Unthank) gave "Grayson" chardonnay as gifts with a picture of Gray as the tag. The tag read "Seasons Greetings from Grayson's Grandparents (The Unthanks.)"

I just had to share it, I thought it was so cute and cleaver. Don't be surprised if I steal this idea for myself next year!

If you can't stand the heat...

Gray walking out in the morning to find what Santa had left...his new kitchen.

MY OWN TONGS? WHAT? HOW? AWESOME!

Santa hooked Gray up with a stocked cupboard.

WOAH. KETCHUP & MUSTARD TOO?

Needless to say, Gray got a kitchen for Christmas. We waited until we got back from Flagstaff to set it up for him, while Drew's parents were here. He was pretty excited about it! I'm sure a lot of you are thinking..."a kitchen, for a BOY?" Yep... a kitchen, for a boy. A few months ago we were at our friends house who have this same kitchen and Gray was LOVING it. I thought if we got him one and put it in our kitchen, maybe he would stay out of my cabinets. Well, not so much, but it does distract him long enough for me to get a few things done.

Here's to the next Jamie Oliver.

Christmas 2011

My beautiful family!

Nelson checking out Gray's wild hair.

I love this picture for a few reasons, but mostly because my brother is wearing Santa pj's (or pa-jay's as we like to say!)

For those of you that don't know, my parents have collected Hallmark ornament's since my brother and I were born, making their trees the best I've ever seen. Gray loved them.

Sweet.

Refusing his pants.

Gray LOVED his cousin. He gave him hug after hug after kiss after kiss. The two of them are heart breakers.

Uncle Brian.

I'm the luckiest aunt in the world!

Dad showing Gray how to play his new drum set that his aunt and uncle gave him.

Not too sure about this.

Ready to get out.

Matching track suits from Grandma and Grandpa Bohn.

Gray, open mouth kissing his cousin. Gross.

I predict a life long friendship between these two.

We were in Flagstaff for Christmas this year. We were there to celebrate my parents 40th Anniversary (amazing!) and of course Christmas. It was so fun to get Gray and Nelson together. The last time they were together, Gray was turning 1 and Nelson was 3 months old. This time was much more entertaining. Gray loved Nelson so much, and how could he not? Nelson is one of the happiest babies I have ever known. He smiles at anyone and everyone. Gray loved it so much he just wanted to keep hugging him and kissing him and poking him in the eyes.

I really did a terrible job taking pictures this trip. It was so hectic, I didn't pull out my camera much. However, I did get a new lens and flash for Christmas so you will be seeing a lot of "practice" pictures coming up!

Hope you all had a VERY wonderful holiday and are all excited to welcome 2012!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I had a few extra countdown photos, so I decided to put them all up! I hope you all have enjoyed Gray's countdown. It's so fun for me to do and I look forward to the 2012 countdown!

All our love,
Drew, Kristy, Gray and Ellie!

Sweet 16!

I've been so caught up in the Christmas Countdown, I forgot to post Gray's 16 month picture. Gray walks everywhere, gets into everything, eats anything that starts with a C and ends with an -arb and loves to pat Ellie on the head (and poke her in the eyes, while saying eyes.) He still is 95% for head size, 50% for height and 15% for weight, Drew said this must be why it took him a while to start walking...top heavy. ;) Gray continues to amaze me with the things he knows and how quickly he picks up on things...smart, smart man (explains his head size...big brains!!!)

Happy Birthday Gravy! We love you!!!!

My name's DJ Gray with the mic in my hand and I'm chillin' and coolin' just like a snowman.
So open your eyes, lend me an ear I want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Grandma Toni gave Gray this bib and microphone set a few months ago. I was waiting to use it for something spectacular and I think we finally found a winner!

Christmas Countdown-10!

10 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!

So, I bought these foam letters thinking I could spell out Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays in the tub. What I didn't think about was that there would only be one of each letter in the pack. I was tempted to go back and buy two more packs but the thought of that many letters floating around our house was too much. We have enough bath toys (and regular toys) to worry about finding places for. So, the letters for "HAPPY" aren't really foam, but close enough! :)

Can you believe we only have 10 days until Christmas? It doesn't seem possible!

Oh, and yes, Gray's face is orange. He had just finished eating a large helping of baked ziti.
