Christmas at Grandad and Gigi's!

-
On Monday afternoon the Finn, Sam and I drove to Tullahoma to spend the night with Grandad and Gigi.  We arrived around 2:30 to find Aunt Lauren working away on her laptop in the living room floor.  Grandad and Gigi arrived a little while later and we all had pizza, chicken pot pies and soup for dinner. 

After supper, Gigi dressed the boys in their matching jammies and took pictures. 



Finn and Sam have arrived at the age where it is nearly impossible to get a good picture of them at the same time. 



Next Mr. Gene and Minnie came to give Finn and Sam their Christmas presents.  Finn received a Batman and Penguin Lego set and the Lego Movie. Sam received a Super hero shirt, walkie talkies and a Superman movie.

Finn and Michael put the lego set together. 



MJ and her crew arrived around 7:30 which meant it was time for all of the boys to take pictures in their matching jammies. It was NOT easy.





The next morning Dad and I got up at 6:00 and went for a five mile run at the High School.   While we were gone, Gigi attempted to get more group pictures. 




At 9:00 we at breakfast; eggs, country ham and potato casserole.  Then the boys opened their presents.  One notable present was Finn's Lego set - 1600 pieces. I don't know how I feel about that :)







Grandad and Gigi gave Sam a Bat-mobile - which was easily the hit of the day for both of my boys.  They played with that Bat-mobile the rest of the day.  Finn made sure to let me know that for next Christmas he wanted a Bat-mobile.   They also had a great time with the Nerf gun. 



Both boys also got a lot of really cute clothes.  They were my favorite gift of the day. 








After all of the presents were opened and the pictures were taken we all settled in for a viewing of the "Lego Movie."  It started out just me and Quinn.  Then Sam got a little jealous - threw an all out temper tantrum and then climbed into the chair with us. 

I don't say this often - but Sam's disposition was abhorred.

Thank you Grandad and Gigi for a wonderful 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!
