Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's House

We loaded up the boys and headed to Topeka early on Saturday, December 22 to celebrate Christmas at my parents' house.

When we arrived, the boys had a few gifts waiting under the tree unwrapped.  They went straight to them!  Check out these awesome toddler football helmets and football!  If only they were Aggie helmets...

The helmets and football entertained the boys until my sister, brother-in-law, aunt, and uncle arrived and it was time for lunch. After lunch, it was time to open presents. Uncle Kyle helped Garytt open his first gift while Great Aunt Trish watched.

Both of the boys got the hang of opening the gifts pretty quickly...go figure!

The boys were pretty excited about all the cool things they received!

While the boys did get a lot of amazing gifts, when Garytt came upon a gift from Mark and Dana Harrison, he had to put present opening on pause. They gave him a Chuggington train! Garytt loves trains and could hardly focus on anything else.

We did convince him to put the trains aside for a bit to finish opening gifts. But it didn't take him long to pull the trains back out once the other gifts were open. This time, we opened the Chuggington train tracks from Aunt Bec and Uncle Kyle...it took quite a few adults to decide the best way to arrange all the tracks.

Of course, Christmas isn't Christmas if one of the kids doesn't use a box as a toy.

Garytt did take a break from trains to play his new game, Ants in the Can.

As the excitement of the day was winding down, we caught Garytt playing by himself and enjoying two of his favorite things...football and trains...too funny!

We had a great day and the boys were exhausted by the end of the night! What a great way to kick of the Christmas festivities!
