Christmas 2012 - Nana and Papa's/Christmas Eve
We arrived at Nana and Papa's house last night around 5:00. When we got there Finn immediately went upstairs to play in the playroom. Once Greg got back with the Zaxby's chicken we sat down and had dinner. Finn sat at the table with us and ate goldfish and cookies. At one point both Michael and I were getting more food and we hear a thud followed by Finn screaming. Apparently he had fallen off the back the table and bumped his head - recovery was pretty quick though. After dinner Finn got a bath and then we tucked him into the air mattress for a long winter's night.
Finn went to sleep very quickly and did not wake up when I rolled out of the bed. Next we played "Fact or Crap" which Michael won and "Catch Phrase." After games we were all pretty tired so we hit the sack. Michale slept with Finn on the air mattress and I slept on the Murphey bed.
Around 6:00 Finn crawled in bed with me and slept for another hour! When we got up we ate breakfast and then the boys opened their presents. It is safe to say that Finn know what presents are. He was so excited to open presents! The first thing he said to me when he got up was "open more presents?" He not only opened his own, but he wanted to help everyone else open theirs.
At Nana and Papa's house Finn got an easel, a Noah's Ark puzzle, a hammer set, A "Professor Z" Cars car, gold coins, a golf club set, a Mickey Mouse music player (which Finn uses as a cell phone) and the Winnie the Pooh movie.
He also got a lot of stocking stuffer goodies. Finn's favorite gift of the day was Hank's "Cookie Monster." It was a Cookie Monster doll that eats cookies - and once you put the cookies in his mouth they slide into a backpack on his back. He was super glued to that Cookie Monster.
Other than the Cookie Monster, he loved the golf clubs the most. After we (the parents) opened gifts Finn went outside with the boys to golf for a while.
Later in the day Finn when upstairs and played with Nana and Cooper in the playroom. Around 3:30 we loaded the car and headed home. Finn slept the entire way home. Once we made it back to Goodlettsville we stopped at Toys-R-Us to exchange the defective Cars car for a Cookie Monster. Out of everything in the store Finn had eyes only for Cookie Monster. After we left Toys-R-Us we stopped at Papa Murphey's to pick up pizza and then we went home to eat.
When we got home Finn played with his toys and watched "Winnie the Pooh" while I got dinner ready. While we had pizza we ate it on my new Christmas plates from Gigi. During dinner we all sat on the couch together and ate pizza and cookies. After dinner I put Finn's new jammies on and we sat in his bed (with his Christmas tree lights on) and read Christmas books. One of the books was about the animal welcoming Jesus with their animal noises. The book doesn't mention the name Jesus, but instead, called him the baby. When we were finished I asked Finn who the baby was and he got a big grin on his face and said "Jesus."
After the books were read I tucked Finn - he fell asleep very quickly. I, true to form, had a good cry and then went downstairs to finish up my Christmas Eve tasks.
