This was the start of the BIG CHRISTMAS WEEK at the Wenck house. It started on Thursday with the sing along at daycare. Then Friday Chris and I took Christian to see Playhouse Disney Live. He loved it. All his favorites were there...Handy Manny, Tigger & Pooh and Darby, Little Einstiens, and Mickey Mouse and his clubhouse friends, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. He loved the food too. He ate cotton candy and kettle corn popcorn. It was a fun show and kept his attention. We had ordered our tickets early and had really good seats, so there was no problems with him seeing over people. He did sit in my lap some of the time.
Saturday we headed to Gran and Pa's for Christmas with my side of the family. Everyone was there. All the aunts and uncles. When we see Gran and Pa, we try to get in a visit with Chris' Great Aunt Phyllis and cousin Glenna. We were lucky enough to get that treat this time.
Christian made out like a bandits and we came home with some much stuff, we had to enlist Uncle JJ to help us bring some home in his truck. The biggest addition to his room was his cool new activity table. It was made by Pa and Uncle JJ. Mom put in a few requests when it came to the construction of the table. I asked that its fit a certain set of measuresments so I know it would fit where I wanted it to go in his room. Then I asked that is be tall enough to have storage boxes underneath, then I asked that the table top have chalkboard paint on it so he could color on it as well. Pa, Gran and Uncle JJ took my requests and made them happen. It fits perfectly in his room. He loves it. Of course he loves all the other toys he got to go with it too...some Thomas trains, some match box cars, a race track, and some chalk.
Sassy bought him a Diego trike that looks a lot like the Big Wheels of our day. I don't know who was more excited about the trike Christian or his Daddy. Daddy has fond memories of riding his big wheel around his drive way.
Aunt Sassy also made out like a bandit too. Gran had some fun making her run around the house on a mini scavenger hunt for her present, but it had a big payoff. Gran got her a laptop for Christmas....and who says just the little kid get spoiled.
Archer didn't do too bad either. He received a few toys and lots of great clothes.
Sunday it was off to Grama Nita's big family Christmas party. This is my extended side of the family. It is about 40+ of my nearest and dearest family members. We are quite a bunch when you get us all together. The highlight of the party, besides catching up with each other, is the christmas gift exchange. It is mainly made up of fun and silly gifts with some classics that reappear year after year.
It was a busy weekend. The boys kept up well, but there were some long night that made for a few grumpy moments. Luckily there were naps when they were needed. Mommy and Daddy can't believe it is Sunday and they have to work tomorrow. It will be another busy week, but lots of fun to be had.
