Ah, what a month!

It's been awhile since I've updated, December was a busy month for us, but lots of fun too!
My grandparents came into town Dec 1st, and stayed for a month, they just left Thursday morning.
We had a nice visit with them, and it was great for the kids. I love them having the chance to know eachother.

Kilynn has her Christmas program at school, she did great, she didn't hide her face like last year. LOL.

We survived our 5 day power outage!! It sucked! That's all I have to say about that.
Lucas is finally sleeping in his room, after the limb through his ceiling incident. It scared him.

My aunt and cousins also came into town for Christmas, for a couple days. That was a nice visit, and great to have everyone near for the holidays.
We went to Ryans family on Christmas Eve afternoon. Then we had my family and everyone here for Christmas Eve chili, and the gift game. It was lots of fun!!
We we're up late visiting. Christmas morning was opening gifts, the kids had a great time. And it was nice for them to be able to play with the things they opened, and not just bust through them all.
Then we all went to my dads for dinner.

We had a very mellow New Years Eve, stayed home, playing some card games. New Years is pretty overrated, imo.
We took my gma down to Seattle one day, and had a bit more planned, but her back started hurting, and we didn't do all that we thought we would. She'd wanted to go down there because all the times she's visited she never has.
My bday came and went. I'm 28 now. Closer to 30.
We had family here for cake that evening, and spend the day with my gparents, mom, dad and step-mom at the casino over town. I hadn't done that in quite some time. I didn't win big, but the $20 my mom gave me lasted me the whole time. So, it wasn't a loss atleast.

Kilynn is doing great, she was super excited to start back up at school. She missed it a lot.
She starts dance again tomorrow, after a long holiday break plus the weekend before that due to power outage.
She's getting so big, acting older in so many ways. It's just crazy to me.
I found a video of her at about 18-24 months!! So sweet! Ryan, my sister and I sat and watched an hour of it.
And I swear she's growing out of clothes faster than ever!

Lucas is such a crack-up. Seriously, I can't even explain how he makes us laugh, but he does. He's using more words, but still talks in sound effects alot. It's wierd. LOL. But he gets his point across.
Ryan and his dad are taking Lucas to the Monster Truck show in a couple weeks, Lucas loves his "vroom-vrooms'. We plan on using ear plugs though, he's really sensitive to loud noises.

Hm, that's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I'll think of more AFTER I post this.

Here's are some photos, from the last months or so.
