Grandma Day

Hayden is one loved boy. He has so many people that come around and do special things for him. It melts my heart at all the kindness he is surrounded by.

Grandma Joyce spends every Wednesday with Hayden. They do different fun activities. This Wednesday, they painted Christmas ornaments in both ceramics and wood. Grandma also gave Hayden an art lesson in chalk drawings. I was amazed at how good Joyce is at art. Hayden definitely gets his artistic abilities from the Murphy side. I love that he loves to create and is talented in the arts.

Not only is Grandma doing fun activities with Hayden, she is also teaching him to cook. He is loving cooking lessons and loves planning the menu for Grandma to help teach him such important skills.

He did a GREAT job on his teddy bear bell Christmas ornament. He cannot wait to hang it on his tree with the rest of the ornaments that Grandma has made him. Hayden is going to have an entire ornament collection when he gets married and moves out. Each year I buy him an ornament that represents his year. He also receives a handmade ornament from Grandma Joyce with the year on it. I love the tradition and we have fun putting all the ornaments on his tree while discussing when he received the ornaments and the stories behind them. He was excited to add to his collection by creating some of his own masterpieces.
