We drove up to Nappanee for Christmas. The boys opened gifts on Christmas Eve morning (they dont know the difference from one day to the next!) so that Andy's family could all be there. They did pretty good about keeping on task and opening gift after gift. However, when Adam got to a particular present that was a Thomas the Train toy and book, he ignored every other gift. So that was his show stopper. Alex, on the other hand, would have opened everybody's gifts it we'd let him. The things he uses the most are his vacuum, the Nerf guns, kitchen stuff, and tools. I made the boys matching aprons and oven mits. Alex wont cook unless he's wearing the apron. And he calls himself a "cooker" instead of a chef. Alex always wants Adam to wear his apron too, so I put an apron on Adam to humor Alex. But usually Adam just plays with his trucks instead of cooking. :)
On Christmas Eve evening, the Rummel side always has their family get-together.
Adam was just taken with Cailin, who is 3 months old.
He was very interested in the baby and would stare and grin at her for quite a while.
On Christmas day, we made the short trip from Nappanee to Mentone.
At home using the new food and aprons.
The boys were so happy to get home! They really enjoyed their time at both grandparent's, but there's no place like home. :)
Lately, Alex has been saying things like: "I snorted, Mom!" "Dad snorted loud." "I just had little snort." It didn't take too long before I realized his "snort" was really breaking wind. :)
