The Grass Family Chronicles

I'm getting behind here! This is another favorite Christmas tradition. Before we open presents and Grandma and Grandpa's, we play out the Christmas story. This year, Andy was Joseph.



Jakey was the shepherds.



Caleb was the wise men.



Fun had by all!

This last picture I just have to share because it's so rare to get a picture of Caleb laughing so joyfully. Uncle Michael and Aunt Becky got him the coolest gift: Snap Circuits. The first time he got music to play, he just burst into spontaneous laughter. I am so glad I was there to catch it!

Christmas day was a wonderful, relaxing time of opening presents and relaxing with family. The boys were nice enough to sleep in a bit, and at around 8AM we went down to start on the stockings. Some years we attempt to scale back on presents, but this was not one of those years. :) I could post many, many pictures of the boys opening presents, but I think we will focus on the highlights.



Caleb's favorite present was definitely his Lego set. He started working on it as soon as all the presents were opened.





Andy loved his new Tae Kwon Do uniform. He immediately changed into it and kept it on for the rest of the day. He even wore it to the airport, when we went to pick up Paul, Peggy and Zachary (their flight on Christmas eve was cancelled, they were stranded in Dallas and it took them 36 hours to get home!).





It's hard to say what Jakey's favorite present was. I think he really liked the act of opening presents more than anything! He was a little unsure at first, but caught on very quickly. He's been asking for presents everyday! He does enjoy the monster fort that he got, though.
