Christmas Eve 2012

We were at Nana and Papa B's for Christmas Eve this year!!!  We started out the day early with some fun.  The first year we decided to decorate gingerbread houses.  The kids had lots of fun!!!

 

Bennett and his house.  I was his helper and I think he ate more than he helped!!!

Grady's Kindergarten Christmas Program

Grady had a very cute Christmas program.  It was the Kindergarten and 1st grade classes.  Between this program and his report cards, we have found that Grady isn't much into music!!!

Most of the big group!!!

 

I did catch him singing on camera once!!

But he did a lot of pulling up of his pants!

Trying to pull out his teeth.

and just staring into the crowd!!!

We now know that hes gonna stick to hockey, fishing or hunting for a career!!!
