Christmas morning was wonderful. The boys were excited and that wonderful Christmas magic was in the air. The kids were very pleased with their presents, but they didn't have too long to enjoy them before we had to get ready for 9:00 church. Ty found it especially painful to part with a train/crane/dump truck set that he got, and all during church he asked if we could go home. Unfortunately for Ty, as soon as church was over we went to visit grandparents. We went first to see Grandpa Dastrup and then to Grandma and Gramps Groneman. Ty enjoyed himself at both places, but still asked if we could please go home from time to time. Finally, after being at Gronemans for several hours, Ty went over to Auntie Buffalo and Grandma and said, "Thanks for coming! The end!" We finally gave him what he wanted and he played happily with his new toys until bedtime.At the Groneman Christmas party we all had a good time making gingerbread houses. Brigham, Benjamin, and I spent a couple of hours making a Nativity out of ours. It's been on display on our counter ever since the party. The day after Christmas Jacob was walking by it and suddenly devoured the manger and it's candy occupant. Then he continued on his way. He hasn't touched it since, so it continues to be on display on our counter-- the Nativity minus the babe in the manger.
I love these funny boys!
We love your posts. Thanks.
ReplyDeletePoor Ty! Having to travel around and visit relatives on Christmas day is bad enough, but then to throw church in the middle of that. Poor boy. I was determined not to make my kids go relative visiting on Christmas day....and I never did (because I *hated* it when I was a kid).
ReplyDeletePoor ty is right! That is rough stuff. It is so fun to have kids who are so excited about Christmas!
