Christmas Second


My family stopped trying to celebrate Christmas on Christmas day.  So we celebrate "Christmas Second" aka "Boxing Day."  We had a great time.  The kids came in their jammies and ate cookies for breakfast.



All season long Grant has asked Santa for "tissues."  Since Grant wanted tissues Evy decided she wanted tissues too.  Santa of course brought Grant tissues but Uncle Trace and Aunt Sierra pulled through too.  Grant and Evy were so excited.  I think Grant used about 20 tissues in 15 minutes.  It was driving Papa crazy that he was 'wasting' so many good tissues.



Uncle Trace and Aunt Sierra also pulled through with the best Christmas gift ever.  These little 4 wheelers were a BIG hit.  Evy loved her's a lot and within 5 minutes she not only could operate the thing but was trying to do stunts on it.  Grant was a little more cautious, like usual, and wasn't nearly as daring.  
Later that evening we took the kids up to the church so they could have more room to drive.  Grant walked into the gym and saw the basketball hoops and that was all he wanted to do.  Bag the car he wanted to play basketball.  He did eventually get bored with the basketball because he couldn't make any baskets.  If only dad was about 6 inches taller.  Evy chased Grant around because she liked the cool spiders on his wheels.  What silly kids!  Thanks "Hace and Herra" for such great gifts!

Grant is so cute on the little four wheeler. That is such a fun toy. It is also a fun idea to have a Christmas Second when it is hard to get together on Christmas day.
