Leave them in the refrigerator until you are ready to stratify them.  The cold won't stratify dry seed.  They should do fine after being stratified.

That reminds me.  I collected some seed from A.Xgrandiflora seedlings I'd planted out at my kids' elementary school 10 years or so ago.  They're in a pill bottle(dry, no moist peat) in the fridge, and have been for probably 6 weeks or more.  
Should I pull 'em out and let 'em stay at room temp 'til sometime next winter and then do the cold, moist stratification, or have I already messed up their timing?
