The rest of the day was fun just spending time with each other, playing games, watching movies...and feeding the cows which is always fun! We played 100 pin bowling with Zane and Lindsey on the Wii and we were cracking up at Zane's signature move (you'll see in the slideshow below) it was hilarious!
At dinner on Sunday, Brooklyn was the life of the party. She was talking non-stop about Disneyland and Jack Skellington. She was so animated and we were all cracking up. She just kept going on about the Haunted Mansion and Jack. So we were asking her questions about Jack. The best one was when Zane asked, "What do you feed Jack?" Brooklyn replied with, "You don't feed Jack, he's a skeleton and food just falls through his bones!" She was so matter of fact she put Zane right in his place. She made up a funny story and loved being center of attention, it was really cute!
Monday, we went in to see my Grandma at the hospital. Our cousins Teri and Scott were in their as well as our Aunt and Uncle. We all got laughing about past Christmas Eve's and the swearing.....you had to be there! We were laughing so hard! Grandma and had done wonderfully through surgery and was on the mend but in a lot of pain. Poor thing, but she was glad we were all there to see her.
Tuesday Zane and Lindsey left and it had snowed a little bit so we took advantage and went out sledding. The kids had a blast as you'll see in the pictures and videos. Brooklyn and Beckham also got to open a present early (this always happens in our family because no one can wait until Christmas!), it was a giant Potato Head pack with lots of attachments, they had a good time putting them together. We also watched the BYU game that night while making a gingerbread house. The kids had a lot of fun and I always love watching them do things like that because they are so particular about how they place their candy, it turned out really cute. We also made sugar cookies, decorated GG's little trees, and played with the kitties a lot!
Wednesday, Laini came home!!! The kids were excited to see her and of course, she is the worst one about not waiting for Christmas when opening presents. She had my mom open hers and Brooklyn and Beckham opened theirs too! Beckham got a stuffed "Woody" doll with toy story blanket, he LOVED it! And had to sleep with it that night! Brooklyn got a really pretty ballerina pin with gemstones on it as well as art supplies that she can never have enough of, they loved their gifts. Brooklyn also opened a present from GG and Papa. It was "The Nightmare Before Christmas!!" Brooklyn was so excited, she opened it and hugged it and couldn't believe she finally had the movie! GG thought it would be fun for her since she was so into Jack Skellington and it was the perfect gift (even though, I admit that it is a little strange that she is so into a skeleton....but she's never been your average princess, so we embrace her uniqueness.) She went on and on the rest of the time about how happy she was to have the movie and that GG was the best! The cool thing was that on the DVD it has a bonus feature which takes you through the Haunted Mansion and the kids loved it and loved showing it to Papa, GG and Laini.
Oh and another thing that was really cute was that because my mom loves snowmen, she usually decorates with them January through March. But she had found some snowman sheets and decided to make a snowman room for the kids. So she put snowmen all over in their room and they slept on their snowmen sheets. They both got a kick out of it and thought it was fun!
