The Grants: Christmas

Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year! It was so fun to have Owen here this year and the kids are at the perfect age for the MAGIC! We spent Christmas Eve at our house where we ate finger foods, sprinkled reindeer food on the front yard, put out cookies and a letter for Santa, sang Christmas carols, and acted out the Nativity. Owen got to be Baby Jesus which is really special. The kids and Dave and I took turns being all the other figures in the Nativity. It is so important to us that the kids remember what Christmas is all about.

On Christmas morning, the kids came and got us up at about 7:00. Not too bad. We can handle that time. Santa brought the kids the toys they asked for and a few other things too. We went to Grandma Burrahm's house for Christmas dinner and opened more presents. Later that night we went toGrandma Grant's house to open even more presents. The kids are spoiled.

We had a great lazy week doing nothing and enjoying the spoils of Christmas. I hope all of yours was a good one too!

Funny Things the Triplets Say and Do.....

ASPEN: In the car ride home from vacation, I turned around and scared Aspen with a "Roar". She screamed, laughed, then said, "Momma, roar me again!"
*****We called Grandma around 9:00pm to tell her Happy Birthday. Aspen said it really quietly. We told her to say it louder, but instead she said, "I just really want to go to bed." *****We were shopping for clothes for Uncle Cam's wedding and Aspen picked up a cute outfit. She ran up to Dave, showed it to him, and then said, "Love it!"
*****She calls freckles, "pickles." It's so cute. I can't correct her.

CONNOR: We were in a bathroom in California and I jokingly asked Connor if he needed a diaper change. (He is potty trained!) He looks at me seriously and says, "I don't know. Let me check." And proceeds to pull down his pants.
*****One night we were out late shopping. On our way home Connor fell asleep. I tried to wake him up to ask him what he wanted for dinner at MCDonald's and because bed time was only an hour away. He groggily responded, "But the sky is down!"
***** Playdough for Connor is pronounced, "potato." Again, can't correct it.

BROOKE: We were watching a video of Panda sneezing and she thought it was so funny. She said to me, "Connor and Aspen have to see this! They will crap up!"
*****At the grocery store, the kids always fight over who gets to ride in the "car" part (only room for two). So yesterday I asked who would volunteer to sit in the basket part. Aspen willingly volunteered so I let her choose a treat. I was telling Dave about it before family prayer and Brooke said, "Next time you do that, I'll Bolunteer!"
*****Brooke calls eyelashes, "eyeflashes." Too sweet.
