Dylan in December 2015

I love everything about you, but you are especially fun during holidays!  All month you've been so excited for Christmas to come!  You've been my handiest helper and I couldn't be any luckier to have you as my boy.

When we ask you to do something you don't really want to, but have to anyway you respond with "Fine!  I will!"  So much attitude!

You have been extra emotional lately, so much crying!

You love playing in the snow

You are constantly practicing your letters, both recognition and writing, and getting so so good at them!  Makes me and your dad super proud!

Your favorite saying this month is "what the heck!?!"

We have six Christmas countdowns and they are the highlight of your morning, that and finding our elf Jingle-Bell

Speaking of Jingle-Bell and Christmas you are totally into the magic of it all, I love it so much!

You love to play board games, but are a horrible loser!

If we ever need you to hurry and get something done, we turn it into a race.  You love to race!

You've found your first favorite song that you picked out all by yourself, it's Rude by Magic!  Your dad hates it, but it doesn't stop you from loving it!

You love to go to the movie, it's one of your favorite outings!

You loved having Uncle Ryan visit for Christmas!

December 2015 Family Recap

I feel like every December I have this long list of fun things to do, that always get derailed by the cold!  Why do all the fun Christmas things have to involve being outside?!?  Despite not hitting everything on my December wish list we still managed to have some fun!  We spent many nights driving around the neighborhood looking at lights, went to the Thanksgiving Point lights, visited Santa, made ginger bread houses, played in the snow, and of course baked (and delivered) plenty of Christmas goodies!  Then to top everything off, at the end of the month Uncle Ryan came to visit and celebrate Christmas with us!  We loved having him here, the kids both totally adore him!  Christmas morning was perfect, with a great visit from Santa, and way too many presents!  We also took Uncle Ryan to the aquarium, one of our favorite places.  With the help of Ryan, Dylan got brave enough to go across the rope bridge, and Neko held his hand through the entire place.  We were all so sad to see him go, but glad he came to spend the holidays with us!
