Grady is getting very excited for Christmas this year. Whenever Camille is wrapping presents he must push and shove his way until he is sitting right in her lap and helping. Note: Helping = destroying. We also had our ward Christmas party where we were supposed to dress up. Grady found an old princess crown and thought he looked pretty sharp wearing it. Adam insisted he looked like a wiseman.
Princess Grady wore the crown for the better part of the day.
One day at church an older couple that we sit near approached us and asked if it would be OK if they made Grady a wooden train for Christmas. The husband stated he was a wood worker by trade and wanted to make a special train just for Grady. The couple said they wanted to do something nice for Grady because each week they love to watch him during church and he brings them so much joy.
We anticipated the train being a little train...instead it turned out to be about six feet long. Each car was about a foot long and six inches tall. It also has removable parts, i.e. logs, roofs, movable doors, etc. When the older couple dropped off the train they said it may be a bit advanced for Grady. Within seconds Grady was into some heavy playing and rarely has stopped. Soon after receiving the train we started to find pieces of the train in the tree and/or ornaments in the train.
You can see the pure excitement in Grady's eyes. He very much has enjoyed the train.
Grady had to model his new Christmas PJ's, the train, and a part of the tree. Note: He even had Christmas socks on. When asked what Santa says Grady will give you a hardy HO HO HO!!!
At daycare they have made some strides at getting into the Christmas spirit. Grady thinks he is the funniest person on the planet, and for the most part he is. He especially finds himself funny when he puts things on his face or head. He stumbled upon these antlers while playing and thought he was hilarious for wearing them. The daycare lady couldn't help but take a pic.
Of course, what says funny more than a crazy face and an extreme lean back. This is Grady's "Look at me I am funny" face.
We have been hard at work getting ready for Christmas and looking forward to spending it with family and friends. Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season.

That's an awesome train! Looks like so much fun!! You guys have one cute kid on your hands! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
That was so nice of that couple to make the train for Grady. I am sure I would be entertained by him too if we were in the same ward. He is so adorable.
Oh man, that pic of him at the desk in the beginning is stinkin' adorable! That train is killer, Simon would LOOOVE that.
I want to be in your ward. I think the photo of him in the crown will be added to his high school video.
He is so cute!!! Can't wait to see him after Christmas!
