Holiday Fun

The days of December flew by but prior to Christmas we still were able to get out and do a few fun things around KC. We made our first visit to Crown Center. Our plan was to take Grant to see Santa but after seeing a line that followed through the halls we decided to skip that. Next year maybe we'll try a weekday. We did see Crown Center's train display and then were able to spend some time at Union Station and see their unbelievable train set up. We walked all around the huge display and Grant really liked it...I think his dad did too!Our family celebrated Christmas a little bit early so we could make it back to Kearney before the big storms hit. We had our annual crab leg dinner, which was once again amazing (good job Nick). Then had a lot of fun watching Grant experience his first Christmas celebration. He was good for a few of tears on the paper of his presents and then became more interested in eating the paper. But with a little help from Mom and Dad he was able to get through the rest of the wrapping and discover some fun gifts. In this picture Grant was excited about his new garage and caught on quickly how to run the cars down the ramp...and since has decided he loves to run anything that he can down the ramp (puzzle pieces, his little people, whatever he can find :)
It was pretty obvious that Grant loved his gifts and had a wonderful first Christmas!

I had to laugh at your train comment. Cooper has a train set and I don't know who enjoys it more.....Dustin or Cooper.
