Grey's first Christmas

We spent Christmas at the grandparents' this year, first to Southern Pines and then to Gastonia. We arrived in SP on Christmas Eve day and celebrated with the Camerons that evening - home cooking and a gift exchange. Christmas morning we opened presents with Grandma & Grandpa Raynor and then stopped by Bert and Brenda's for a Christmas morning visit. Then, on to Gastonia - we arrived a little late for the afternoon dinner at my parents' house, and everyone was very excited to see Grey.
Here are a few pictures from Christmas morning . . .

Back at our house in Chapel Hill, Sally and Shelton brought over more presents for us . . .

GG (great-grandma) came for a visit the week of New Years to watch Grey while our nanny was on vacation. I can't tell who had more fun - Grey or GG!

So, to be honest, I was a little nervous travelling so much with Grey, but he did great! He continued to sleep through the night and be his usual good-natured self at both the grandparents' houses. Not to mention, I think he really enjoyed all the attention from the family! We have so much to look forward to, and we are so grateful to have Grey!

We hope your Christmas was as blessed as ours. We'll post again soon!
