Christmas At Nana and Papa's

-
Well,  I've gotten a bit behind on my blogging.  Here goes. 

On December 26th we had Christmas at Nana and Papa's house.  We arrived at their house late on the night of the 25th.  The boys immediately went to bed and we sat up and watched some TV with the rest of the family. 

The next morning we got up and the boys opened their presents.  






The view from the balcony.  

After the boys opened their gifts we had Christmas breakfast.  It was really warm outside so they were able to eat on the back patio. 


Then it was the adult's turn to open gifts.  It got exactly what I opened - a bath robe.  Emily decided that I got exactly what she wanted too and ordered the same robe later that day. 



Michael and Zac got matching underwear.  Now they can wear it on the same day and be twinsies!


My second favorite gift of the day was my copper skillet.  According to the infomericals - nothing is supposed to stick to this bad boys.  


Papa and his elf ears.  Papa loves tacky Christmas gadgets. Its one of my favorite things about him. 


Once again Will slept through Christmas presents.  When he woke up we showed him his gifts.  His favorite was his Mickey wobble toy. 






After lunch we laid around and played with our stuff.  Then around 4:00 we had to leave to go to basketball practice.

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!
