Christmas morning arrived at 7AM when we heard Clark being snuck into the Grandparent room for time on the ipad:) He was so excited to see the kitchen when he came out but didn't really get the pillow...ah well. We woke up to Christmas snow which was really fluffy and pretty to watch from the comfort of our warm house. Dana played Santa and handed out gifts to everyone - which were promptly stolen by Clark because he wanted to open everything.
Clark got a bunch of awesome books from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Jessica, including on on the human body that Dana is very excited to show him. He got early reading books from G&G Kitchen and a really soft blanket from Grandma Sue.
The book theme continued as Charlotte got 3 softie books and a beautiful red Brazilian dress from G&G Kitchen and a soft blanket from Grandma Sue. She was still pretty congested from the croup so she was just happy to be held and kissed.
It was so awesome having G&G Kitchen with us. They loved watching the kids open presents and then Grandma Tina made her world famous pattern pancakes. Clark wanted the cow, Mom went with the chicken and Dad picked a storm trooper.
Then it was up to the Washburns again for Christmas ham and gingerbread houses. And for Clark and Anderson to spend a full half hour watching at the window watching the snowplows.
Tuesday morning G&G left for Utah:( We were sad to see them go but they forgot their Sunday clothes in our hall closet so it's really like we still have them here. And then began the looooong countdown to Daddy heading back to school. Two full weeks seems like a long time just sitting at home. We made the best of it Tuesday by sledding down the streets of Moxee. After some coaxing Clark got in the sled and loved it. Miss Char just snuggled in her bear and watched.
The next day we had the sister missionaries over and decided to make sugar cookies for dessert. Clark's is the very psychodelic tie-dye and Dad did the one that looks like the Cosby sweater. Mine are all the rest. I'm particularly proud of my Charlie Brown attempt.
An ice storm moved in that night so we have been stuck inside for a few days and only going slightly crazy. Dana is working a few nights at the hospital and seeing some crazy fall injuries but otherwise the days are a lot of basketball, dance parties, food making and beastmaster. And yes, our toddler has learned to launch himself off the trampoline onto the couch and then make a fist of triumph. Thanks Beastmaster.
