Grant's Funniest Home Videos: Christmas Edition

We celebrated Christmas early with my parents since this is our year to spend Christmas at Hunt's. Grant loved opening his first Christmas present ever. He was a little distracted by his favorite giraffe, though.

This dancing tree has been in the family since Hunt was a boy. Grant is doing his best to jam with it. I think it could make America's Funniest Home Videos!

Merry Christmas to all!!! Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

Brilliance in Flight

Hats off to my brilliant hubby who finally got his quadcopter flying. Little did Hunt know when he signed up for a personal enrichment master's level course in August that every waking non-work moment (weekends, evenings, even Thanksgiving break) would be devoted to getting his little baby in the air. Tomorrow night is the final class and the school is sending a camera crew to film the flights. I told him this project was kind of like having a baby. Months of suffering (for both of us) but it was worth it all when the little darling took off. I would even be up for him building another one with Archie (BUT NO MORE FORMAL COURSES WITH DEADLINES EVER)!

 

P.S. I designed the Styrofoam shoes the copter is wearing. We knew it would crash before it flew, and it would break without a cushion. It saved us several times tonight. Not often I come up with an engineering innovation, but I'll give my self credit where credit is due ;)

Safety First: Pillow Forts Rule!

Archie and Grace are very protective of their little brother. They didn't want him to topple over and hurt himself while I was doing my hair yesterday so they built him quite a fortress!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Draw * Write * Now, Grace!

I don't think I've ever loved a handwriting book as much as Draw * Write * Now! We just finished Lesson 1, and both of us are looking forward to the rest of the year. I wish I'd done it with Archie. I might still teach him some of the drawing. Grace draws chickens all the time now because she is so confident of her ability and pleased with the outcome.
