The Grass Family Chronicles

Caleb's two front teeth have been loose for a while now, and he this week he really began wiggling in earnest (he spent all his money on a toy this weekend and I think he was hard up for cash!).

He went to Miss Debbee's today with Andy and Jakey because of the holiday. When I went to go pick him up, he had quite a surprise for me! Apparently it just fell out when he wiggled it. Fortunately, all FOUR of his teeth that have come out have come out just that way. Nice and easy! He's got the most adorable smile now:



I expect the other one to go any day. Our boy is growing up! *sniff*

Today the boys and I sat down to work on their class valentines. They were super excited about it! Caleb and Andy requested candy valentines and Jakey wanted Buzz Lightyear ones (big surprise). It was actually lots of fun - Caleb and Andy wrote and put together all of theirs, and Jakey separated all of his while I wrote the names.





A cute side story - Caleb has been mentioning a girl in his class, Sophie, quite a bit. As we were doing valentines, he found his favorite one (it says, "You're Awesome!") and put two heart stickers on it. For Sophie. No one else got heart stickers! I think I'm going to have to go check this girl out... :)

It's not completely done yet, but I wanted to share some pictures of our kitchen remodel. Honestly, it turned out better than I hoped. Paul and I love it so much that we don't mind cleaning it at all! I wonder how long that will last...

Here are some before pictures:




And after:





What do you think?

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.
