SANTA!

While Nana & Papa were in town we decided to go see Santa so that they could see Grayon's reaction to him for the first time this year.  We went to Bass Pro Shop at the Katy Mills Mall... Oh my word - so fun!!  They have a little Santa village there with trains kids can play with and other little activities and you can get a FREE (yes, that's right, FREE!) 4x6 photo! Umm, Yea! :)

So we like to see Santa a couple times to get Grayson used to him before we go to IL for Christmas, because the Bianco's have an annual Christmas eve party and Santa comes and we'd like for Grayson to not freak out. ;) So a free photo was PERFECT and Nana and Papa got to keep it as a keepsake.

He did so great! He wasn't sure at first and wouldn't leave my arms, but a couple high-fives and some coaching to give Santa a hug and he was good!

Last year, Grayson was only 9 months old at Christmas time.... This year he is 21 months old and he only has 3 months left as a 1 year old!... WHAT!? Ya'll... check out the difference a year makes!!

 

I just cannot believe how big my little boy is getting!! Oh my, be still my heart!

 

So thankful for what a big boy he is becoming! His independent spirit, tender heart... What a blessing he is in our lives!
