Mitchell and Grant's flight from Wisconsin to Arizona for Sunday, December 28th was canceled. Their new flight was for the next day leaving at 3:45pm with a layover in Atlanta, GA. So they didn't make it to Phoenix, AZ until 11:30PM that evening. Boy were they tired when they got off the plane!
Grant was so tired that he convinced the airport assistant who was watching him to let his use a wheelchair.
Mitchell was sick of airports and traveling. He just wanted to get home. He literally was sick though. He had a stuffy nose and for the next three days he could't get his ears to get unplugged.
Our lovely tree with all of Mitchell and Grant's presents waiting for them. Although we didn't get home until midnight, the boys didn't want to go to bed without opening all of their gifts. Grant said that he had a half a dozen or more sodas that day so he wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. Needless to say, we stayed up and opened EVERYTHING!
Mitchell found a pretty pink tie in his stocking. He really likes it. He wanted to wear it to the New Year's Eve dance tonight with a t-shirt but then changed his mind. He talks about the tie everyday. Give him a call sometime and ask him about it.
Mitchell gave Grant a small box of Lego's. However, Mitchell wrapped the gift several times in various boxes within boxes. So the mess around Grant came from just ONE gift! Very fun!
Grant's most exciting gift, more Lego's. We have so many LEGO sets in this house that we could open our own LEGO store!
Mitchell's favorite gift was a bike frame. Yes, most kids ask for an entire bike for Christmas. Not Mitchell. He just wanted the frame. He is just going to use his imagination for the rest of the bike. No, I'm just kidding. He wants to build the bike himself and get all the custom parts for it. Then he can go to the bike park with the coolest and lightest bike!
Merry Christmas!

I must have been great seeing them after them being gone so long! tell Grant he looks older al ready!
REAL MEN wear PINK!!! How fun to have another Christmas!
I think that it is so cool that Mitch is into building bikes. Maybe he could own a bike store some day. You could tell him that I would buy one at the grand opening. One of our teachers and friends from high school opened one in Kingman. If Mitchell is interested, the next time he is here we could go check it out and talk about the business with him. some job shadowing to give Mitchell ideas of what he wants to do.
