Christmas happennings

This is how you know for sure....without a doubt.....that your family is not into Star Wars.  Jack came home from school yesterday with an ornament from a gift exchange.  He said, with all sincerity and seriousness, that he got a bird dressed up like a Native American Indian and then pulled this out of his book bag..... 

Haha!!!  and if it had not said "Star  Wars" on the box, I might have agreed with him!  Thanks to the kind soul who gave Jack this ornament for trying to help educate us in pop culture :)

We loved having Gramps and Grandma here for the boy's school program and for an early Christmas celebration with lots of food and presents :)  

  

They even got to join us on Chase's Polar Express field trip!

pancakes are his favorite :)

And today I wish the very happiest of birthdays to my wonderful dad!  The best Gramps we could ever ask for.  We love you Dad!!
