Unforgettable 1st Christmas

Two exciting events happened on my first Christmas that will definitely make it memorable...to my parents anyways! First, I had my first visit to the Emergency Room on Christmas morning! Here I am below posing with Mom. I had an allergic reaction to the medicine I was on for an ear infection and broke out in hives all over my body. They gave me some medicine, and I was good as new in no time!

The second exciting event happened on Christmas Eve. I took my first steps! Luckily, Gammy, Pappy and all of my aunts and uncles were there to witness it. I love being the center of attention! Check me out below...

Unfortunately, these are the only pictures Mom and Dad took of my 1st Christmas. The nerve!!

Chupacabras: Fact or Fiction?

When we went to Christmas for my Pappy's family, we were in for a little surprise. My Great Aunt Linda and Uncle Ray live in San Antonio but have a house and this great little 'party barn' for get-togethers right outside of Cuero. It is decorated in a wild west motif complete with an old saloon-style bar, slot machines, saddles and a stuffed baby Chupacrabra! What?!? Yes, they found this creature on their land when all of the hoopla was swirling around Cuero about Chupacrabras. Cuero even made the national news because of it! I guess this means they really do exist?

Santa Baby

Mom tried and tried and tried, but she just couldn't get me to cooperate for a Santa picture.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Hello internet, Grayson's mom here. This post is primarily for my family members. For the past 13 years, or pretty much since I've moved out of my parent's house, I have never ever decorated for Christmas. I was pretty much known as a scrooge! I didn't see the point when it was just me living by myself. Well, this year is different! Not only did I put up a tree, I decorated just about every room in the house with a hint of Christmas.

Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My

A few weekends ago before all of the Christmas madness started, Mom, Dad and I made a visit to the Austin Zoo. We saw all sorts of strange creatures. My little eyes didn't know what to make of them all!
