Weekend Update: some holiday memories by the numbers
A few posts ago, my bloggy buddy Jenners had a great post entitled Christmas by the Numbers.
I thought it was creative enough to swipe. So here is my "not as good" version.
Number of presents we gave to my step-mom and dad: one each
Number of presents they gave us: 10
Number of times my son reminded them he asked for a laser beam and didn't get one: 4
Number of times the girls asked Grammie if she was ready to open gifts: 17
Number of times she said "in a little bit": 16
Number of times they asked if there was more to open: 7
Number of presents we got my mom and step-dad: 4
Number of presents they got us: 15
Number of times I had to remind my kids to say thank you: 2,957
Number of presents Santa brought each of them: 3 (like the wise men brought Jesus)
Number of gifts my son opened before he found this car: 6
Number of gifts he wanted to open after he opened this car: 0

I'm a big thank you reminder too for my kids! Everyone looks so happy. Terrific look at your holiday by the numbers.
Such a fun post! You are too funny. That picture of middle G cracked me up!
That is so cute! I wish I'd thought to do that!
christmas by numbers, BRILLIANT....looks like fun was had by all;)
You forgot the critical stat - Number of naps snuck in before the end of the year. After all, that is what bowl games were invented for.
I always fret about not buying the grandparents as much as they buy us, too. But it looks like everyone had a great Christmas! Even the dog was good....,
20 inches of snow and that is the size of the snowman!!??? : )
And I love your numbers post. It completely captures the reality of Christmas!
