Begley Family Christmas

-
On December 26th we went over to Gran and Pa's house for the Begley Christmas.  This was our last Christmas of the 2014 holiday season.



Finn helped to hand out all of the presents.  After all the presents were handed out, Finn sat with me and opened his presents.  Sam sat with Michael and opened. 




The big Buzz Light Year was the gift of the day for Sam.  The adults all draw names - this year David drew my name.  Inspired by my Christmas Tree post, David got me the prettiest Christmas ornaments you have ever seen.  I am really excited about putting the tree up next year!


Finn's favorite present of the day was his Bat Mobile and his Bat Boat. 


After we opened the presents, we all ate breakfast together.  Finn and Sam were especially found of the ham.  Every few minutes one of the two was begging for more ham.  At one point Finn said, "Gran, can we please have ham every Christmas."  I was so shocked because Finn is not a big meat eater.

After lunch Finn and Sam played outside with Uncle James Lightsabers while the girls sat and chatted in the dining room.

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!
