"DISNEY ON ICE"

On Monday Chiara took Alexis and myself to see Disney on Ice! Alexis had a wonderful time. I enjoyed it also because it brought back memories of when I was younger, especially when they performed the Lion King! Here are some pictures of Alexis. "Thank you Aunt Chiara I had a blast" (alexis).

"Christmas"

Christmas Eve was very nice Shaun, me, Alexis, Grayson, my parents and brother went to church at then Shaun and I had The Gravell's over. Christmas day we went to my parents house and opened gifts and ate dinner which was very good. I hope everyone had a nice Chiristmas and we can't wait till next year. Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve of Alexis opening a present and of Grayson on his new playmat. Also, our beautiful families we love you guys!

"Gravell Christmas Party"

Last night was the Gravell Christmas party at Brian and Chiara's house. It was fun! Santa came and of course Alexis was not having anything to do with him but I went with her and she did get a cute little santa doll from him. Hopefully next year will be a little better in the santa department but then who knows if Grayson will like him? We will just have to wait and see. Here are some pics ENJOY and everyone have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! There is also an album with pictures from last night. It will be to the top right of my page.

"Christmas Lights"

Last night I took Alexis to see Christmas lights. We went to the house that has a ton of lights on route 7 and this year santa was there. Alexis doesn't really like Santa this year but we got the infamous picture of her crying on his lap and also got one of her and I. We met Aunt Renee, Uncle jason, the kids and mom gravell there. I also took her to my parents neighborhood and we saw there christmas lights and drove around to look at more. It was so fun! hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Baby Grayson almost 2 months already!!!

It's hard to believe but Grayson is almost 2 months old. Geez, time goes by so fast. I find it amazing how you watch this beautiful person enter your life and then for years get to watch them grow. Alexis is almost 19 months and she has really changed. She's not really a baby anymore (well she will always be my baby) but she is developing into her own little person, with a personality that is just too funny she makes me laugh everyday. As for Grayson I'm excited that I get to do it all over again and I know that there are many things to come in the years ahead but Shaun and I are ready. Here are some pics of Grayson that I just took the other day. Grandmom cindy bought him this Daddy's All Star outfit that he has on. He looked so cute in it!! Hope you enjoy!!

Thanksgiving Parade November 28th

Today we all went to the parade in Wilmington. Shaun, me, Alexis, Renee, Gavin, Payton, Noah and mom Gravell went. We all had a great time. All of us met at the park and ride at the mall and the bus took us into the city which was a great idea because we did not have to drive and worry about parking or just dealing with the crowd. Alexis was able to see Clifford the Big Red Dog, Elmo, Zoey, and Bob the Builder. We also saw marching bands which I love and apparently Alexis enjoyed it because the smile she had when A.I Duponts marching band was in front of us was soooo cute. At the end Santa came and all the children who wrote him there christmas lists were able to give them to the elves. I can't wait till Alexis can write her letter to Santa Clause. I know this is defiantly going to be a family tradition and I can't wait till next year.

"Mommy and Grayson"

Here are some pictures of me holding Grayson. I never have myself in pictures it's always someone else so finally I told shaun to take my picture and he did, I'm so excited!!!!

Birthday Parties!!!

Saturday we had two Birthday Parties! My grandmother who turned 80 and Shaun's brother Brian. It was a lot of fun! We had good food and everyone was able to see baby Grayson, and for many it was ther first time meeting him! Well, the Holidays are coming so we will see everyone again very soon! We Love all you guys!!!

Kids came over to see Baby Grayson!!

Friday night Renee bought the boys over so they could see baby Grayson. Payton was a big help he held Grayson while I did some things. He will be a great babysitter in a few years. Noah was the photographer he took some great pics! Can't wait to get that camera developed. And as for Alexis and Gavin well they are just too funny. They play so good together now, it's so funny to watch them. Here are some pics from that night.

Alexis holding baby brother Grayson!!

Alexis was able to hold her baby brother for the first time and she loved it!! It was so cute to see her hold him. I am looking forward to watching Alexis interact with him.

Grayson Thomas Gravell finally arrived on Wednesday, October 23rd at 2:47 p.m. He weighed 6lbs. 10 ounces and is 19 and a half inches long. I can't believe he is finally here!!! I will share all the great pics with you when I capture those precious moments. I hope you all enjoy!!!!

Baby News!!

Well the date of Induction is going to be the 22nd of October!! I think it's really neat because Alexis was born on the 22nd and now Grayson will have the same date of birth... Anyway, I will keep everyone posted on any upcoming baby news.

Alexis got a new playset!!! She LOVES IT!!!! It's very hard to get her to come inside but somehow we do... Gavin came over tonight to help her break it in!! They had a lot of fun together!

Today Alexis and I went to cousin Payton's baseball game. We had a lot of fun!! Gavin and Alexis were non-stop the whole time. We could not stay long because Alexis didn't nap today so she was getting tired. As you can see from the picture she came home and passed out on daddy!!!

Letting the kids play!!

Last night Shaun, Alexis, and I went over to Jason and Renee's house for pizza. We had a lot of fun.. Gavin and Alexis played outside which they love to do and we all just relaxed. I love when we do stuff like that! Thanks Jay and Renee for having us over.
