…and they got plenty of it! Whether it is wrestling, dancing, laughing, tearing, eating, running or singing.
The boys got enough gifts for 3 sets of triplets! In addition to our gifts, they got more from Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents. Hopefully, this doesn’t set any future expectations. 🙂 Hannah’s family visited in late November, Manish’s parents in mid-December, Amisha just before Christmas and Sachin (“Oak”) during Christmas. Everyone was here at some point but at different times.
The boys loved all their visitors. More people to play with and, in Evan’s case, boss around. Ethan loved having his Grandparents over and Evan told Uncle Sachin “you are my best friend.” Aiden loved having people over (as far as he is concerned, the more the merrier).
Additionally, the twins have really started taking to football. Manish tried explaining some of the players during a Philadelphia Eagles game. He told the about the quarterback, running back, etc. A week later, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers against the New York Jets. As they were watching, here is how the conversation went:
Ethan: Where is Michael Vick?
Manish: You remember Michael Vick from last week? Wow. He plays for the Eagles. That was a different game.
Ethan: I want to see Michael Vick.
Manish: That is another game.
Ethan: Is Michael Vick a good guy or a bad guy?
Manish: Well, he is working on trying to become a good guy.
Ethan: So there are two Michael Vicks?
Manish: Sort of…well, not really.
Evan: Who is that? [As he watches the television.]
Manish: That is Ben Roethlisberger.
Evan: Like a Hamburger?
Manish: No. That is Roethlisberger.
Evan: Can I eat him?
Manish: Not a hamburger, he is Roethlisberger.
Evan: What does he taste like?
Out of the mouth of babes come some of the funniest things!
The images below include the boys wrestling, decorating cookies and opening gifts. The wrestling is a lot of fun to watch although it typically ends with at least one person crying. Also, you can see from the video below that the boys (especially Aiden) love to dance. Amisha also seems to like it 🙂
