Christmas Eve 2009

Our Christmas Eve this year started with 4:00 mass and then onto Grammy and Papa Ernat's. Yes, we had Christmas Eve at the new house this year! We feel very blessed and lucky because the Riva's and Ernat's have come together on all holidays. We are kinda spoiled, because we don't have to split anything up. It's really really awesome actually! And we also had Adam, Georgia, and Jayne with us....
We enjoyed apps at Grammy Deb's, some drinks, and wonderful family time....I have lots of pics of course and here they all are...

Wanna drink?!?

Christmas Eve 2009...from Grammy Deb and Papa Davey Grey received a cool tent, a trampoline bouncy house, an aquarium (which we are in the process of setting up), and a tube to go sledding in...

I am going to break this up into a couple of posts....as it would be too much if I did it all at once....so Christmas Morning and Christmas Day will be coming in the next few days.

All in all Christmas Eve was a great night and Grey was a little angel! We are blessed!

A Sneak Peek of Christmas Eve 2009!

Just a couple pictures of Greyson from last night to hold us over. I took lots and lots of pictures that will be of course coming in the next few days, but he was such an angel last night! I have to admit I was a little nervous about church. He has a hard time sitting still in church these days but last night he did soooooooooooooooo good! He was an angel all night and enjoyed himself thoroughly as we all did!

We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope all of you are enjoying the family time!

Grey "eyein" up a present...


I'll just take a peek if you don't mind!


Now I have my bink in mouth and murphy's leash in hand...life is good this Christmas Eve...lol!

He's got the life...

So, last night doing our regular night routine...

Grey ate some supper and then played a bit....then I took Grey downstairs for tubby time.....He had the most fabulous Bubble bath with soooooooooooo many bubbles....then I lotioned him ALL up and into his jammies he went.....then he grabbed the remote.....and into mommy and daddy's bed he went......he's got the life.....(typical male)

Here he is.....nice hot bubble bath.....in his jammies....and now the remote

I think I'll just lay down now...

Nope back up and at em' again.....his new best friend and I must say he has the HO! HO! HO! down pat.....

Let's bring Santa to mommy

Let's give Santa a kiss

And there's those beads again....
