Polar Express

We started letting Grant open Christmas presents as early as Thursday. He only likes to open about 2 presents a day because as soon as he opens one he wants to play with it. It took us a week to open up all of his birthday presents this year! :)

So far we have read all the books Aunt Jessie and Uncle Craig sent. He LOVES all the transportation books! We have listened to the silly songs from Jan and Linda (such a hit!), and we have played the lady bug game from Gail (another big hit, Gail!).

Of course he opened his skates and went ice skating for the first time and then later he opened the Lionel Polar Express train set from Nana and Grampa. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Such excitement. Turns out my parents had introduced him to the Polar Express movie this week when Grant was staying with them and he loves it so much. He watched the entire movie 3 times in one day. So when he opened that box and saw it was the exact same train he flipped out. Jason and I didn't even know that's what was in the box nor did we know until the day before how much Grant LOVED the Polar Express. It has provided hours of entertainment. Not sure we're going to get to any other gifts for a few more days. :)
