Christmas 2011 - Grandad and Gigi

-

Finn's Christmas with Grandad and Gigi began at around noon on Thursday when Grandad and Gigi picked Finn up from Victoria's house. When they got there Finn was mid-sandwich and upon seeing them shoved the entire half sandwich in his mouth so as to leave quicker.

Later that night Michael and I joined everyone at Grandad and Gigi's house. When we got there we ate sandwiches and watched Finn play with toys.

The next morning Finn woke up very early and had his own "Christmas Photo Shoot"





Clearly, the early of the morning did not dampen Finn's Christmas spirit.






The next morning Cooper, Hank, Em and Zac arrived for Christmas breakfast. Finn sat in a chair at our table and ate eggs. After breakfast and few pictures, the boys tore into their Christmas presents. Finn got a Mickey Mouse Rocket Ship, a real moving Thomas the Train set, some really cute clothes, a "Jeff Corvette" Cars car, a soft "Lightening McQueen" Cars car, puzzles and a coloring book. Finn loved the train set - so did Hank. He was fascinated by the train chugging around the track.





After all the presents had been opened Em and I ran to town while the boys played with their new toys. When we got back I learned that Finn had attempted to take a nap on a package of wipes so Michael put him down for a nap. He slept for a while and I managed to grab a little nap as well.

After Finn woke up we played for a few more minutes and then we loaded the car to head to Nana and Papa's house for Christmas.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
