Christmas at Nana and Papas

-

On Tuesday Michael and I went to Foxland in Gallatin to the Christmas party with my new office.  I was nervous about going because I haven’t actually started the new job yet, but had a really good time.

Later that night we went over to Gran and Pa’s house to help the boys build a gingerbread house.  Next we took the boys to Target to let them buy each other a present.  Finn bought Sam a Ryback figure and Sam bought Finn a Stardust.  They really enjoyed picking out presents for each other.

On Wednesday afternoon we took Finn to the dentist.  Last week we noticed that Finn had a permanent tooth growing in behind (way behind) his baby tooth – so we took him to make sure that everything looked normal. Well, after three x-rays we learned Finn has an extra permanent tooth that will need to be surgically removed.  Finn was just glad that the dentist didn’t pull his loose tooth.  At this point his lose tooth is the least of his worries.

Later in the day we went over to Nana and Papa’s house for Christmas.  When we got there Emily and her crew were already there.  The boys played together until dinner.  They played the IPad with Nana, with balloons in the garage, and the most fun of all, snowball fight.  The boys pegged us with snow balls from over the balcony. 






Nana prepared a great dinner.  Papa brought Zaxby’s chicken home and mom made sides and desserts.  We sat around the new coffee table in the den and ate while watching the fireplace app on the Roku.  Other than being 70 degrees outside, it was perfect.


After putting the boys to bed the adults went to the playroom and played a rousing game of “Logo” Married couples teamed up. Michael and I cleaned house!  It was so much fun! I love to play games – but I love to WIN games more!!


The next morning the boys were up at 6:00.  We ate Christmas breakfast at 7:00 and then we let the boys open presents.  Just like the adults, the boys opened one at a time.  Finn and Sam loved their presents.  Finn’s favorite was the WWE book and Sam’s favorite present was the United States Championship belt.  They also got Hexbugs – which turned out to be great. 

It took about 2 hours for the boys to open presents.  Then the adults opened.  I would like to take a trip to New York to see Hamilton on Broadway, so Mom gave me money. 

By the time we were finished opening presents it was 12:00.  It was really warm outside so the boys played outside while we started preparing lunch.  After lunch we packed up and went back home.


This is a picture of Finn opening his Paw Patrol shirt. He was so excited.  After he had opened it he looked at me and said, "good presents really do come in small packages!"

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!
