Merry Christmas 2021 from #TheGraytLife

How is it Christmas Eve of 2021 already? I’ve not even thought about a Christmas card until today.

Merry Christmas from all of us! We are hosting an exchange student from the Netherlands this year, Fiene. She is the cute gal you see in all of our pictures.

Warren is 16 and got his drivers license this year and his first and second job. He worked at a golf course all summer and loved every minute of it. He now works after school and weekends at a full-service car wash. Super proud of his work ethic.

Tanner is 14 and started high school! He loves to socialize and hang out with friends. He joined his brother in FFA. He knocked his grades out of the park this first semester of school. He loves his 4-wheeler and can be found riding all over the place on it.

Fiene, has joined our family this school year from the Netherlands. She played tennis and was the number 1 seed at East Wake High School. She is on JV Cheer and plans to pick up a spring sport as well. School is super easy for her during this gap year. Thanks, Petra, for the connection.

Jason. Oh Jason. He started the year rough with an accident that left him pretty banged up. Once he was sorta healed he started a new job in February working at a shop in North Raleigh.

And, Carrie has kept this crew right side up for the most part. I am ending the year with a bit of a health crisis, but hey, Jason hit the health insurance deductible in January, so the timing was good, I guess. I have a battle ahead, but I am strong and positive with unwavering faith in God.

We took an amazing trip to Disney World during the 50th Anniversary Celebration and got a sweet complimentary hotel upgrade to the Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Carrie chaperoned FUGE, we put in pool, remodeled the kitchen, hosted Carmen, Mom, AM and Molls for Thanksgiving and so many other amazing things.
