Pops, Mimi, and GG Christmas 2015

This past weekend, Pops, Mimi, and GG came for an early Christmas celebration.  Pearce could hardly wait for everyone to get here!  GG got here first and soon after, Pops and Mimi arrived.  Pearce was practically drooling over all the presents they brought, but he was very patient until Saturday when he got to open them.  Thursday evening, we just all hung out at home and had vegetable soup and corn bread that I had made.  On Friday, we went to eat lunch and then went to the mall to see Santa.  I asked Pearce where we should go for lunch and he said "Wuby's."  That's my boy....he loves Luby's!  Then we headed to the mall to see Santa.  Luckily, we didn't have to wait too long, and Pearce hopped on Santa's lap and told him what he would like.  He had on the cutest Christmas shirt that GG got him :)  I waited FOREVER to get his pics printed out, so during that time, the grandparents took Pearce to the jumpy place in the mall.  By the time I met them, he had already been there an hour!  He jumped a little more and then we headed home.  GG brought Pearce a gingerbread house to decorate, so we started on that.  It was quite the spectacle, I'm sure, watching Pops and I trying to assemble the house :)  After all the sides dried, then it was time for Pearce to eat the candy decorate with the candy :)  It looked really cute!  It lasted a whole day until Pearce said he wanted to eat the house!  Oh well, it was fun!  We took Mimi and GG to see a light display that we like.  It's the 12 Days of Christmas and all of the houses on the cul-de-sac go all out with their lights!  On Saturday, we went to eat lunch at Mighty Fine and then took Pearce to Catch Air to play.  Pearce LOVES that place!  As soon as we got back, Pearce was ready to open his presents!  We decided to go ahead and let him open his presents that afternoon and then the adults would open theirs that night after dinner.  It was so funny watching him open everything.  He kept saying "Oh wow, this is awesome!" "Oh wow, I always wanted this!"  No doubt about it, his grandparents spoiled him with really nice gifts.....thank you!!!!!! He has loved playing with everything and I'm just glad I recently did a toy clean out so we have room for all the new things!  Chris cooked us a great dinner Saturday night and then we enjoyed exchanging our gifts!  What's so funny is that one of the gifts had red shredded paper in it....Pearce played and played with that shredded paper!  We had such a fun weekend together!  Thank you Pops, Mimi, and GG for our gifts and for coming to Austin to celebrate Christmas with us!!!!!!  We love you!!!!!
