Whew! It's almost Christmas, how is that possible!? December has flown by! It's been a busy, but fun month.

Here are the kids at my parents house while Jon and I got out for some Christmas shopping.

Hanging up our stockings!

Ho, Ho, Ho! Starting to decorate our tree!

NONE of the lights worked! Arrggg! Jon was a trooper trying to fix them for me. He finally got a few strands working, but we'll need to replace lots of lights for next year.

Daddy and Jakey

Mommy and one my favorite presents!

Jacob putting the angel on the top of the tree!

Dylan - so cute!

We went out to dinner to Red Robin with Grandma and Grandpa A. after Jacob's preschool Christmas program. It was SO much fun! The kids did great and it was wonderful to spend another fun day with Jon's parents.

Ryan diggin' the onion rings - no surprise!

Grandma A. and Ryan. I love this photo!

Santa Baby Megan!

Megan and Ryan - these two have been little buddies lately. The other day Megan asked me to go get her night-night (her blanket) upstairs, but I was right in the middle of making dinner. I told her to ask Ryan if he'd go with her. She did, but he said no. I said, "Ryan, help Megan get her night-night," and he said ok. So off the two of them go upstairs and come running back with her blanket. Megan was so excited and then she turned to Ryan and said, "thank you Ry-Ry" and gave him a hug and a kiss! So adorable!! I almost started to cry, it was so sweet!

Megan has also taken a huge interest in being a "little mommy". She started changing her baby's diaper the other day and she's also feeding her baby everything she eats. It's been really cute! Good thing she's getting a new baby for Christmas! (a doll that is, not an actual baby!)
Lots of fun memories this month and lots still to come! We've got a busy few days coming up... cookie baking and decorating, Christmas Eve service at church, dinner, looking at lights and of course Christmas day! I can't wait!
Merry Christmas!!
