Xmas Eve Party

On Xmas eve, hubs and I hosted a party for all the grandparents. That's right- all of them!

Grandma Dino and Grumpy Grampy provided all the food- and it was delicious! It really was quite a spread. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffin' muffins, steamed broccoli, as well as pre-meal snacks, and tons of cookies! And they had come early to hang with us and open some presents. Big guy got tons of clothes, a homemade xmas ornament, a really cool stool that is just the right height for the big guy, and a kitchen! I know- crazy cool right? Unfortunately, hubs is pulling a "back injury" story in hopes that dino will build it. we'll see!

Grandma J and Aunt B came over and brought big guy a really cool barn toy (ok, I picked it out) and a xylophone! As well as a snow suit- which turns out we needed b/c we got like a foot of snow on sunday. They also brought homemade pumpkin pie. yum!

Grandpop J, Grandma C, and Uncle I also came bearing a veggie tray. As well as more clothes and a cool "wire-block-toy" as described by hubs- "a wooden toy that is educational."

Overall, I really wonderful afternoon/night. However, these people couldn't take a hint that it was bedtime. After several (loud) statements about it being big guy's bedtime, I finally said, "well, thanks for coming over!" Rude, but effective. Hubs got everyone packed up and out of the house within 10 mins of the statement. such a good hubs!

I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful tradition. hubs still wants to discuss!
