Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas to you! We hope the day was great for all of you! We had an interesting Christmas this year. Rylee was away with her dad for the big day so that was hard but we got Paul, Missy, Matt, Afton, and Halle this year at our house. It was fun to watch the kids open there gifts from Santa. It's so real at that age. Its was magical and extremely entertaining to watch!

Rylee's Christmas DANCE performance!

Rylee had her first dance performance tonight and she was AMAZING! I was so proud of her. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure if she would actually go out on stage with her class but she did and had a great time doing it! We were lucky to have Grandpa, Granny Kate, Aunt Sarah, and Baby Josh come with us to watch! This video is a little far away but it works. Feel free to LAUGH during the entire show because we all did! It is too cute! Rylee is the ballerina on the far left...

GOOD JOB SHORT STUFF!

We're So proud of you!

We made it!

Well... We are finally here! Rylee made it the whole 17 days with the paper chain. She only took two off in the same day once. I honestly think my smarty pants thought it would speed up the process to getting to see her Nana faster! Rylee is in Heaven! Nana (a.k.a. sucker) Will let my little monster do absolutely ANYTHING she wants and I'm beginning to think Rylee is completely aware of this. I don't think that very much damage can be done in the whole 6 days were here so I have made a conscious decision to "let" Nana spoil her. I say "let" because my say gets vetoed anyway. This picture is of Little Miss playing with the pet rodent. Later that vermin bit my angel but that's a whole story in and of itself. Like I said... I have no say what goes on while here. Rylee has a blast and I can sit back and relax. (I have no problem doing that) I thought about getting offended that my daughter wants NOTHING to do with me when her Nana is around but after just one second I realized... THIS IS HEAVEN! I have a happy, fed, clean(sometimes), entertained kid, and I do none of the work. This is the life!

Thanks mom
