Christmas #3!

I dont know any kids who have more Christmas celebrations than our kids! 

Eric's mom and stepdad came into town the weekend after Christmas, so we got to celebrate again!

These kids (and all kids, really) LOVE some Granddaddy time!

He is seriously among the most genuinely nice human beings on the planet.  I love that our kids love him. 

It is soooo hard for a four year old to remain calm when Papa Butch and Grandma Debbie carry several bags of wrapped gifts into her house! She tried to wait patiently, and we reminded her that we dont ever ASK for presents, but she was watching those bags like a hawk lol

Papa Claus got to "work" passing out the gifts and Whitney was practically drooling!

Grady got some wheels for his second Christmas! 

Which turned into this, just a few days later...

I keep meaning to write a post about Grady's progress, but want to mention that this video was one of the "okay, its official. He's definitely a different kid..." moments weve had in the last several weeks.  Prior to December 19th (when he stopped eating gluten), he NEVER wouldve run through the house chasing Whitney.  No matter how much he WANTED to, his energy level was low and he was soooo wobbly.  Now, no problem.  He can frequently be found running through the house (or Target or chapel) screaming like a banshee! :)

And once again...Debbie and Butch came to visit and we failed to get a picture of them with Whitney and Grady.  EVERY time.  They pull out of the driveway and within 5 minutes I turn to Eric and say, "CR&@*P. We forgot to get a picture of them with the kids AGAIN."  :(
