Happy Holidays

 

 

Dane and Ryleigh like to eat popcorn together.  It amazes me how different Ryleigh is from Dane at this age.  She is much more daintier - Dane would have spilled the popcorn all over within 30 seconds of having it.

 

 

Dane, "Ahhhh, this is the life!"

 

For Thanksgiving we went to Matt and Angie's house.  Dane had a lot of fun playing with his cousins.

Ryleigh really understands a lot.  In this picture I told her to cover up the baby and she did.

Abby painted the car bed for Libby.  Dane remembered it.

Ryleigh snuggling up with a baby. 

Ryleigh got into everything she possibly could get into.  She thinks she is such a big girl.

Ryleigh's first time having a Capri Sun.  She was in heaven!

Dane and Liam telling jokes on the back porch.

Again, Ryleigh being such a big girl.  She can climb up all by herself.

 

By the time Ryleigh had managed to try to break every picture frame, went fishing in the toilet up to her armpit, and began to meltdown just before dinner, I knew it was time to go.  She had not had a second nap, and all the excitement must have been too much for her.  So sadly, I had to leave the party early with no Thanksgiving dinner.  But, I did get some tasty appetizers and had a lot of fun watching the kids play together.  Thanks Matt and Angie!

Friday we went to the Santa Claus parade on Kercheval.  Dane's favorite party was the fire trucks.

The fire trucks were really loud, but Ryleigh didn't seem to mind.  She must be desensitized from her big brother.

Finally, we saw Santa and his reindeer.

Santa looked right at Dane and said, "I see you!"

 

After the parade, Alek got our first real Christmas tree, and we all had a lot of fun decorating it.  Of course, it is only decorated  half way up due to little fingers that would love to bounce all the bulbs off the floor.
