Day 11:
A visit to the library to see, Santa!
While the kids waited in line, there were tables lined with crafts and coloring pages.....As I have said many times before, I am grateful to live close to Grandparents, so they can share these lasting memories with us.
My big boy!!! asked Santa, for a car and teddy bear.....a step up from the iPod, dog, baby and phone, he asked for last year:)
Day 12: We went to Ben's work Christmas Party....Parker had fun baking cookies at Grandma and Grandpa's
- Day 13: Christmas story and coca
- Day 14: Attemped visit to the Putnam, for FREE museum day.....it closed a little earlier than I had anticipated:) We read dinosaur books when we got home. and played with his toy dinosaurs....it made things a little better.
- Day 15: Made Christmas treats for Parker's, pre-school party.
- We had to keep it simple for a few days, because someone....was "too overwhelmed" with the festivities.....we won't mention any names:>
- Day 16: Played games
Day 17: Polar Express 3D
Last year, this was the movie of choice.....according to Parker. After the 95th time, I was over the movie. He loved it though. When I was pregnant with Parker, I remember seeing this movie in 3D with my family. I think Ben had to work. I forgot how neat it was....and let me tell you, I do not think I have EVER seen this kid, so excited over something in my life. When the train felt like it was going to hit you, or it got really loud, he would grab our arms and shriek....."Wow, that was so cool!!" I am really glad we went. And it was relatively cheap.....minus the popcorn:)
Day 18: White Christmas.....plus presents and lots and lots of cousins to play with.
Day 19: Christmas with the P's
We always enjoy our time with Ben's family. This year we were able to spend the weekend with them. Sunday morning we arrived home from church a little before everyone, and took some pictures......which turned out really great!
Then it was time for presents.....Parker hit got a lot of really cool gifts.
He got, Hiccup and Night Furry action figures from, How to Train your Dragon......which he loved.
His favorite thing to play with was his cousin's, nerf gun. He played with it all weekend!!
Picture time!!!! every year, Grandma gets the kids matching pj's!!! The thing I love most about Parker is, he is a lot like me. He can be rough around the edges and a tough guy, but he is also very tender, loving and caring. He loves his 2 little cousin's so much, and always tried to give them loves....maybe a little too much sometimes:)
So, the thing about Parker is that he is really good at taking pictures....I mean when I get my camera out and say, SMILE! he strikes a pose. He also needs to let loose and do a few, silly pictures....He also taught his cousin to do the same:)
This was the best picture I got, and it is blurry:( so if anyone has a better picture, send it my way please!! All of the kids really get a long with each other, each with their own personality. We did good, with two days without nap and early risings....his first meltdown did not occur until we were leaving Sunday night.....it think with the 98% junk food all weekend and little sleep, he was over it!!!! and slept the whole way home:)
Merry Christmas!
