Christmas, Christmas & More Christmas!

We did a lot of celebrating this year with a Christmas in Boone, Pinehurst and Chapel Hill! Grady got so used to hearing that Santa was coming again that he even asked us today if Santa was coming tomorrow. :) We first went up to Boone to visit Granny, Gramps and Uncle Scott. Although our trip was cut short due to wintry weather, we had a great time and Grady got to play in the snow, which he loved! Santa was also very good to him, and he got a big choo-choo, which he was thrilled about! Here are some pictures from our trip to Boone.

We ended up having to leave Boone the evening of Christmas Eve because there was a bad ice storm coming that night. We piled the boys in the car after church and started heading towards Pinehurst. Landon was crying in the car and had finally calmed down after a while... When I looked in the backseat, I saw that Grady was holding Landon's hand. It was so incredibly sweet. That pretty much sums up how wonderful Grady has been with his little brother!

Once we got to Mimi and Popeye's house in Pinehurst, Grady was excited to find out that Santa was coming again! Santa (aka Uncle Kevin) even made a surprise visit to see him...As you can see, Grady was kind of in shock! During our visit, we got to spend time with Mimi, Popeye, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Louis, Hannah, Aunt Carleen, Uncle Kevin and Ma, so it was a lot of fun!

And finally, we celebrated Christmas at our house back in Chapel Hill.... Grady got an adorable sleeping bag from Granny and Gramps last Christmas (personalized with his name), and Landon got one this year. We decided it would be kind of fun to have a little sleepover in the living room on New Year's Eve...Don't worry though, Landon didn't sleep in his! He's just in it for the picture. :)

(Special thanks to Eileen for Landon's cute Christmas outfit!)
