A visit from Grandma & Grandpa Stoker

On Saturday, Jeff's cousin was playing in the State Championship basketball game about 40 minutes from our house. Jeff's parents came up to watch the game and he met them there. I stayed home with the boys since they're still not feeling well but Ethan was excited that his Grandma and Grandpa were coming over to see him. It was even easy to talk him into taking a nap with the promise of a visit from his grandparents when he woke up.
Jeff's brother, Wade, and his wife, Lauren, came over too and Wade helped Jeff finally get the Christmas lights down from the house. It was also the first Saturday in about four weeks that we didn't work on the house so it was a nice break.
While Grandma and Grandpa were here, Ethan and Kamden played the 'Going Fishing' game with Grandpa and Lauren and watched 'Brother Bear'. There was also a game of football going on in the TV Room that resulted in Kamden nearly getting a concusion. And don't worry, Wade, the mark on his forehead is gone :).
My parents watched Ethan and Kamden while we went to dinner with Jeff's parents, Wade and Lauren, and Brian and Sierra. We went to Johnny Carino's and it was nice to go out without kids, even though I felt bad for the boys. Kamden's nose isn't running so much anymore but poor Ethan is miserable. Since his nose is stuffy he breathes through his mouth all night and on Saturday he woke up with lips so chapped they were bloody. It seems like he's had more energy than he's had since Friday so hopefully he'll keep improving.
