Happy Birthday Grayson! Oh my goodness, he's 3! We were up at Michael and Oriah's house over the weekend with additional members of my family as it was also Cameron's birthday, and we had a wonderful time all together. We didn't quite get a picture with everyone looking... but I do think we got a picture of everyone! Well, Biskit's face didn't quite make it in this one, but I'll take what I can get.
Grayson likes to have a toy in his room during his naps. He'll play for a bit and then lay down and go to bed. He really likes these flower building things, and he built this really tall one that I liked.
Grayson got a dino to build for his birthday from one of his friends. It had a little screwdriver and you screwed it all together. He made a bed for the dino next to him and put it to bed each time he went to sleep. He also sleeps with the screw driver right there with him in case a leg falls off or something for prompt repair. It's super cute.
Grayson needed his hair cut, and there's only so much you can do to keep him still. This time it was Daniel Tiger.
As Halloween has approached and costumes have come out, so did the face paint. Grayson became a very scary tiger, courtesy of his sisters.
The girls' school has been doing their booster the last few weeks, and they had an obstacle course to celebrate. Monica and Grayson got to go watch both Brooke and Winry go through it, and there was even a lap where Grayson got to go through with them.
On Friday we drove up to Dallas to go to Cameron's baptism. We actually skipped school and drove up in the morning, and I worked in the car while we drove up. It was actually a very productive drive, and we had a lot of fun with everyone too. Here are all the kids with some of my sisters.
Grayson slept in the closet of the room we were in. There was an extension cord running into it, which was nice because we can get the monitor in to the outlet just outside the door, but now Grayson also got to have a night light... which he played with and drove around like a car. Perfect!
Grayson sure loves Biskit, but is still pretty nervous around him. To be fair, Biskit is larger than Grayson, so I'm sure it's an intense experience. He still loved playing with him though.
We had Grayson's birthday party on Saturday morning, and Grayson wanted a Biskit birthday party. We played pin the tail on Biskit, and Winry completely aced it! She aced it at Cameron's party in the afternoon too.
Everyone took a turn with varying results, but everyone had fun.
We listened to all the best freeze dance and floor is lava songs, and everyone participated, which made for an extra good time.
We had some pizza for lunch, and then Grayson opened presents. He was really happy with what he got and has had a lot of fun playing with all of it over the last few days.
We sang happy birthday and Grayson wanted mint brownies for his cake. Also, he didn't try to grab the flame on the candle! Big strides!
Again, everything was Biskit for this party! Also, we had a cake walk to get a brownie at the end. It was pretty funny, my sisters Oriah and Niki were playing the whole time from the very first round, but were also the last two to actually win and get a brownie! Good sports to keep playing.
Once the party was over, Grayson headed upstairs to try out his new train Duplos. I found the idea by looking for a Duplo bridge, and there was a train one, and so he ended up with the train as well. He's been loving his train though. He loves building tracks and watching the train drive around, it's been great so far.
What would a birthday be without a trip to Buc-ee's? Well... it would be a birthday, but we got to go! And, better then that, Buc-ee himself was there! Grayson was very happy and gave him a big hug.
Monica got a real cute picture with Grayson while we were hanging out in the afternoon.
Jonathan got a VR headset for his birthday, and we gave it a spin. I had quite a lot of fun playing it. There was a game called the plank, or something like that, and you take an elevator up high and then walk out on a plank on a building. It was pretty cool. Brooke tried it out, and took a step out of the elevator for a second, but then was ready to be done.
Winry didn't want to step out of the elevator, but she found a way to ride in Santa's sleigh and had a really great time.
We headed out for dinner, and it was Grayson's choice. He wanted "orange rice" so Mexican food it was. I really liked the restaurant we went to, it was called Blue Goose Cantina. Pretty fun place to have dinner.
Grayson enjoyed their chips, and ate many of them before... cutting them...? He also did eat his rice, and also got some sopapillas because it was his birthday.
