Place: Gramma K's house
Mission: Party like a sock monkey!
In what will probably become a new Christmas tradition, we had Christmas #1 at Gramma K's house the weekend before Christmas. We stayed up late the night before wrapping gifts and headed out the next morning for a day full of fun!
Hubby and I were both very glad when Ian fell asleep on the way there. A napped child is a happy child.
As soon as we arrived, Ian discovered Gramma K had gotten sock moneys for the kiddos. Ian's monkey was sitting in the highchair where he normally sits.
Ian was thrilled. He immediately put his drink on the highchair, signed HELP, and tried to pull his monkey out!
Ace had already discovered that his sock monkey was on the potty!!!
Monkeys ready to eat!
Aunt Kt and Uncle Tray talking with Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa.
After playing with sock monkeys for a while, it was time to get on with more Christmas fun. Stockings had been hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that excited family members would soon peek in there!
In the meantime, Daddy sampled Gramma K's great cooking!
Pile o' presents!
Ian LOVED being outside while all the preparations were being made. After a while, he was the only one out there and came to the door to check on us.
This next picture melts my heart!! Ian decided he wanted in and Cousin Ace came to help him get by the heavy screen door.
Ian pushing Ace. Such good buddies!
Sharing!
Umm...yummy!
Hehe...staring at each other through the glass.
Two monkeys!
Showing off their monkeys. Ian's hand is waving because he wants to "see"...he has decided he has to see every picture we take now.
Big brother lovin' on lil sister. So sweet!!
Love Maci's expression!
A pretty little girl with her pretty Momma!
Getting some love from her Daddy too!
Ace is somewhere in this picture...can you find him?
Ian helping Maci open her present. Tray is obviously more interested in finding his own presents. ;-)
Ian's turn to open a present!
Daddy got a cool drumset shirt that really plays!
Great-Grandma, Gramma K, and Steve looking at calendars of the grandkiddos.
Getting some Gramma K loving!
Love this precious smile!
Enthralled by his new Word World DVD!
Steve playing cars with the boys.
Apparently while I was gone taking Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa back, Gramma K took pictures with all three grandkids. Looking through them, this was the best. Of course, it would be my child's finger up his nose!!
Then I saw this next picture and just about died laughing. Must be a boy thing!
Sweet Daddy-son moment.
Cousins playing with Gramma K's hula hoop!
When we got home after all that fun, Ian wanted to feed his sock monkey his popcorn!
A little later, I looked over and Ian had put his sock monkey on his little potty! I guess even sock monkeys need to take care of business sometimes. :-)
We had such a wonderful first Christmas!! Thank you Gramma K, Steve, Great-Grandma, and Great-Grandpa, Aunt Kt, and Uncle Tray for everything!
