Chillin at the Old Folks Home

Dad always got the family a game at Christmas time. This time he nailed it! The air hockey board was a big hit and it equalized 'big kids vs little kids.' Little Brother thinks you're the best Grandpa EVER, especially after he beat mama!!

Bedtime stories. Thanks for taking the night shift Dad...after two days at LegoLand, an 8 hour drive and two Christmases...I think by this point I was minimally functional...and besides the kids love a special guest at the reading corner.
Aahhh yes. Some more exciting news at Grandma and Grandpa's house - Lulu lost her front tooth...just in time for us to sing that wacky toothless holiday song to her. It was rather gross actually. She caught a hint of that wiggle and she wouldn't let go...she worked night and day, day and night for weeks...but apparently she did her best work at the Christmas dinner table - eeeewwwwwww. We all tried not to look....but with her elbow cutting through the air this way and that, we had to do a quick status check or two...AND...as you can see...GREAT SUCCESS:
...and now ....let the straw tricks begin!
