After dinner on New Year's Eve (nothing fancy, just taco salad...but we did have Fritos instead of regular tortilla chips - that's fancy right?) we each had a fortune cookie (I was told that I love music and the arts, which I took to be prophetic since I DO have a gift card to the Hale Center Theater courtesy of Aaron) and then we played Slap Jack and Hide and Go Seek. Grant watched us play the card game with great interest. He finally plunked himself down in front of me and proceeded to slap every card that we put down. It was hilarious. Then it was time for hide and seek. Chad and I stood in a corner of the tv room and counted to 15. When we turned around the funniest sight met our eyes. Grace was hiding on the recliner, but I think that since she couldn't see us, she figured we couldn't see her...
Merritt was more creative. After hiding under a blanket the first time around he hid inside the entertainment center. Too bad he had to haul out three books, a bin of toys and a dvd folder to do it. Plus, he was right next to where we were counting. :)
The award for best hiding place went to me, of course, because I hid in the shower. If Grant hadn't started talking I could have hid there forever. Even though Merritt knew I was in there, I still scared him when he opened the curtain - I laughed and laughed at the look on his face. He thought that was a pretty awesome hiding spot so he went there on the next round. It wasn't a very subtle option though, because he left the lights on and was giggling.

That's great--kids are so entertaining!
It looks like you guys had so much fun. Soon they will be really good at hiding and you will wish for when they made it easy on you.
