Christmas at Grandad and Gigi's

-
We spent the night with Dad on Christmas night and woke up at their house on the morning of the 26th for Christmas with Grandad and Gigi.  After Gene, Minnie, Lauren, Ryan and Em’s crew arrived we ate breakfast. 

Then we had a surprise visitor – Santa Clause! It was actually dad dressed up as Santa.  Cooper and Hank thought it was great.  Hank kept walking up to dad and giving him a hug.  Sam on the other hand, was completely unimpressed. He knew immediately that it was dad and said over and over, “that’s Grandad.” He wouldn’t go anywhere near dad.  In fact, he wouldn’t even look at him.  Later Sam confessed that he didn’t like the beard. 


Have you ever seen anything more awesome???














Next it was time to open presents.  Finn was pretty excited about his Miz wrestling figure and his Hotwheels race track.  Sam loved his Disney (find the hidden picture) book.


After opening presents we Michael, Uncle Zac and Ryan put together Finn’s race track. Afterward, we all sat in the floor and watched Jurassic World.  


After the movie Ryan and Lauren brought out the game they got for the boys – Pie in the Face!  Cooper went first and he looked so funny when we got a face full of Cool Whip.  He didn’t cry, but he looked so offended.  Quinn, Finn and Sam all tired as well.  Sam, though hesitant at first, loved the game.







Sam had so much fun! Thank you Aunt Lauren and Ryan!




We left a little before dinner and dropped the boys off at Nana and Papa's house.  Then Michael and I went back to the house and hung out by ourselves until Wednesday morning!

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!
