Christmas Day 2009 - long overdue!

I am sorry for the delay in getting this post up.  Somehow I totally forgot to actually finish my Christmas recap!

Grady was in a great mood all day on Christmas and even took a great nap - go figure!  He also slept in later than anyone else in the house that morning - until a bit after 8.  We were so excited that we ran right in to get him.

Here he is coming downstairs - all business



He immediately saw the new piano from Nana. He LOVES to play piano and has been asking to take lessons. He put on several "concerts" for us that day. It is actually a really nice instrument and has been getting much use lately too!



Opening THE gift - a big excavator with all the moving parts. He had been talking about it non-stop and even asked Santa for it when he sat on his lap. So it was from Santa. The gift did NOT disappoint. He was SO excited to open it and has been playing with it non-stop since then.











He got 2 Hess race cars from Gaga and Grandpa. They also got him a lifesize (well for Grady) gas station, which all of the kids in the neighborhood love. We have been using it outside so he can fill up his ride-ons with gas and stuff. There is a gas pump, an air pump, and tools for fixing cars. It also has a credit card and a credit card machine that really works. And they got him a stop light to use outside with his ride-ons. It is motion-sensored so it knows when you are going and then will say "red light means stop" - pretty cool. His Fisher Price digital camera is another big hit from Gaga and Grandpa!

 


Opening his stocking from Santa - it had a little bit of candy, stickers, a Little People grandma, matchbox cars, Elmo socks, flavored kids chapstick, etc.



He got an electric guitar from Nana and Papa - it is a little kid one, of course, but it's really cool!  He puts on concerts with it ALL the time now!




Rocking out on the guitar - it plays several songs that you can play along to and one of them is "Rock Star", which is G's favorite - how perfect.



opening this cute photo board that Gaga and Grandpa got Grady to go along with his digital camera. So we can print out his favorites and hangs them. It's got little magnetic frames, so it's really easy to change the pictures.

 

Gaga is showing him the gas station I was talking about:

 


Playing with his new Leapfrog game from Mama and Dada - it's so funny because he love to receive and send "text messages" on it :)
