Things to Remember-
Tyler's big gifts were a razor scooter and lincoln logs
I agonized over Grant's gifts the whole month of December because there just isn't anything he needs (because older brother!) and there isn't anything he vocally wants yet so...
We had Christmas with the Hockemeyer family the weekend before Christmas so we got in multiple celebrations and had an extended holiday. Tyler and Grant and Makenna are really good playmates and run around the house keeping themselves busy.
We traveled to Illinois for the actual Christmas holiday and that 5 hour drive seems like a piece of cake now that we've done it so many times and have it down to a fine science, stopped halfway to eat and then the boys napped the 2nd half of the drive. Kristen wasn't home for Christmas this year so we planned to FaceTime for gift opening and it worked SO great...better than we all thought it might, I think. The boys would both turn to look at the computer screen to say "thank you" after opening a present. At one point, Tyler asked if he could come to their house where they were sitting! (awwww)
Playing with all of the new toys from Christmas was a great way to spend the following week. Kevin and I got to spend a night downtown Chicago while Tyler and Grant stayed with Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Bud. It was great! (I think everyone thought so!)
