Grandma Sonja's Stuff: Christmas Past

Christmas Past

I didn't really post anything after or during my Christmas break, but I guess I will play a little catch-up ball today. We had a very nice Christmas Eve together with my parents and Jamie's family. We had the usual food menu....it never seems to change, but I guess I actually like it to stay this way. So then that's a good thing. We had Roladen, red cabbage, "almost cheesy potatoes", as they didn't get cooked in time, mashed potatoes, gravy, other vegies and rolls.

And then we "dressed up" in our Christmas attire:
(At least some of us did, that is)

Grayson had RSV and so he wasn't too excited to participate this year. Logan always has that mischievous look on his face in every picture. Don't you think?

Then a little family picture to torture the kids just a bit longer before they open their gifts.

Autographed Packer's football for Tyson

Presents for everyone.

A Packer's Jersey for our little football player, with his own number and name. It was a wonderful Christmas and we had a great time.

And a little musical numbers. Sheesh I should have practiced, I'm getting so rusty!

A Little About Tyson Jacob

Tyson is a happy 9 year old with lots of talents and abilities. He knew the names of all the planets when he was just about 18 months old. He started talking at such an early age it was incredible. He seems to like basketball more than any sport and also enjoys baseball. He will start 4th grade in the fall of 2010. He has already traveled alot with me for his young years, to southern Utah, Texas, Germany and Switzerland. He is a real thinker and enjoys spending time with his grandpa Spencer, shooting, fly tying, golf and fishing.

A Little About Brecklyn Brianne

Brecklyn is the only girl in the family and so she has a special place in my heart. She is a pretty "Tiny Dancer" just like her mom always was. She is starting kindergarten in the fall of 2010 and just can't wait. She loves to go walking with grandma Sonja and never says no when I want to walk just a little farther. She makes friends easily and even makes friends at places such as the McDonald's playground. She has received several trophies at her dance performance competitions where her group seems to always get 1st place.

A Little About Logan Spencer

Logan is going to be in Pre-school in the fall of 2010. He is a very active 4 year boy. He enjoys soccer, just like his dad and basketball, just like his big brother, Ty. He and Ty are not at all alike and look and act totally different. It is hard to believe that they are brothers! Logan loves to play in the sandpile as my blog shows and doesn't think fishing is such a great sport. Afterall, why should it take so long just for one measly little fish? He learned to ride his bicycle at age 3 and loves to be grandpa's little buddy.

A Little About Grayson

He's here, born June 30-, on his great-grandmother's birthday. That makes him super special. 7 lbs. 3 oz. 18 1/2 inches. He's a little guy, blonde and sweet. He is definitely a "Momma's boy" and will only allow others to hold him for a very short time. Then he lets you know he is very unhappy. But I am sure this will change eventually and he will find out other people are fun and interesting too. We love this little guy and look forward to see what he thinks about his very first Christmas!
