Christmas with Papa and GranTee

My dad came to get the boys Wednesday morning so they could spend the night. Then Thursday Ryan took off at 1 and the 3 of us remaining made the drive to reunite and celebrate Christmas with my dad and stepmom. It was a nice visit, it always is. They allow the kids to clutter up the house and you cannot see a single drop of sweat of their brow. If they are stressed, unlike me, they hide it well. The kids had a blast and got spoiled as always.
With 4 active children this year, especially our 1 year old, we were not able to take a lot of pictures. It was just too much to keep up with. Gracelyn had absolutely no interest in the process of opening gifts. She enjoyed a few after I opened them but she did go around to each of her big bros to scope out what they received.
All the kids received a blanket that GranTee made. Tiffani did a very nice job and the boys all love them and will say as I'm tucking them in bed that they need the blanket that GranTee made them. It was such a thoughtful gift.

Brandon's was Red Sox material and Britton was dog print, which he says is like Berkley













Gracelyn's was everything girly and Blaine's was camping, which totally fits him considering he asks to go camping at least once a week.













Brandon, poor guy, this was the only picture we took of him besides the one of him looking at his new boxer briefs from his stocking. I think this picture of him pretty much sums up his excitement from his gifts. He got this Lego game and a Harry Potter Lego set, which was put together within a day. He also received a Barnes and Noble giftcard and much needed shirts!


Britton received a Mobigo. He played with one in the store and loved it but after he received it I was afraid it was little big for him. To my surprise he has mastered many of the games and is doing very well. Blaine got a Leapster 2 and absolutely loves it, as you can tell.












They got underwear, which they are still excited about, little motorcycles and, drumroll please, PILLOW PETS!!! They saw a commercial for these on the Sprout channel and begged for one. Britton wanted the cow and Blaine wanted the penguin. They really are soft!












Gracelyn was very happy and content with the puffs in her stocking. She got a baby doll as well!
