Christmas

We love the chance to spend time with family for holidays! This year we got to host Christmas morning in our temporary apartment, courtesy of Mimi & Gpaw. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the 2 cousins shared - and with their new toys too! It was fantastic. 

Guess who took over when grandpa set up the camera?

He still plays "pew-pew" with random sticks because of this...bad idea Santa. 

Gpaw & Mimi's turn

Showing the littles how to play with a toy.

A spot of color to go with all the spit up spots :)

Goose's opinion of present opening.

Apparently Auntie E thinks this of opening presents . . . good to know.

Cars, cars, cars!

Lovin some grandma time!

A kind cousin was willing to share his Santa toy with Mickey. (That's the real gift of Christmas)

Opening gag gifts - including a redneck plunger (attached to a gun) and a iPad arm attachment.

Playing in the snow with grandpa - definitely a highlight of the celebrations for Mickey!

What a beautiful lady!

What the rest of us did while they were out:

Of course, a little boy cannot complete a snow day without sitting on grandpa's lap and drinking hot chocolate!

Blessing Day

The Sunday after Christmas, and with family still in town from the holiday, we took the opportunity to bless Goose.

What a grandpa's boy! He goes and grabs on of their hands and says, "other grandpa . . .and other grandpa," while grabbing the other's hand, then guides them both over to play with cousin T's toy. Haha
