Disney on Ice

Disney on Ice came to Savannah so a few friends and I took the kiddos.  Grayson was excited to see Mickey come out, but was not thrilled with the Cars characters right after.  He started crying saying he wanted to leave.  The Cars segment had some loud car noises and things which is what I think set him off.  He ended up sitting on my lap for awhile and decided it wasn't so bad.  My friend Ashley helped me out by holding Ryley part of the time since Grayson takes up most of my lap these days!  Mickey and Minnie would come out between different "stories" and each time they'd go behind the curtain Grayson would say he wanted them to come back out. :)

Grayson's Christmas Program

The last day of school before break, the preschool put on a Christmas program for family and friends.  All the age groups (18 mths - Kindergarten) participated.  Each age group would go up to sing 2 songs and say a bible verse while the director of the preschool told the Christmas story.  Luckily I had a front row seat with my class so I could sneak up there and get some pictures of him and I handed my phone to a fellow teacher for her to record Grayson singing. :)  We didn't get the bible verse, but I'll upload him saying it for me at home once i download the other videos from my phone. :)  He got a bit distracted by other around him and then spotted the Kindergarteners who were dressed as the characters of the story behind him.  Of course, he'll belt out in song any other time at home, in the car, etc.  Just too much to see while he was up on stage I guess!  There are some pictures followed by two video clips of the songs they sang.  Enjoy!

Deck the Halls

Christmas has now passed and I'm a tad late on posting pictures.  Whoops!  December was busy for me and the boys.  School was winding down and the big school Christmas program was happening the last day.  Most time consuming though was the fact that it seemed like one of us was sick constantly since Will left.  Ryley broke out with a bad case of eczema on his face and ended up with a yeast infection on his bottom.  Grayson had a cough/cold that wouldn't go away.  And I ended up with a sinus infection and then another infection.  Every week after Thanksgiving we were at a doctors office and pharmacy's waiting on new prescriptions for either me or Ryley.  It made for a stressful month after Will left!  We managed to get a small Christmas tree after Thanksgiving.  I figured since Daddy wasn't home we would get just a small table top one to decorate.  This proved to be a good idea since Ryley couldn't reach the ornaments..... most of them at least!  We were also going to Ohio for the holidays so a small tree was easy to take down and get rid of before we left.  Here are a few pictures of us decorating for the holidays!

Ryley and Grayson playing one night before bed.  Grayson likes to climb into the crib and Ryley thought big brother was pretty funny in there! :)

Grayson practicing his Christmas songs for his program this week.  Jingle Bells is not one of his songs, but I guess he's been listening to it and it's one of his favorites.

November Fun

During our Thanksgiving break, I took the boys to the Childrens Museum to play.  We hadn't been there in awhile and it was fun to see how Ryley is now crawling around and trying to play with Grayson.  Of course brother isn't too keen on sharing, but he'll learn! :)

 We also made a trip to the zoo.  It was perfect weather that week!  In the mid 60's with lots of sun! :)  Even though it was hard to have the Thanksgiving holiday and week long break without Daddy around, we made the most of it!
