Graye and Tegan with Great Grandma

Scandanavian Club Christmas Party

Ryan's parents belong to this club and every year there is a Christmas party for the kids along with supper for everyone. Graye had a blast decorating his gingerbread man, running around with a little buddy he found, dancing with mom, listening to the piano man, and (especially!) meeting Santa! He was also the best at doing the limbo!! (No, I don't think he had any kind of advantage!) Tegan did pretty good too, mostly just took everything in. Oh, and she LOVED the supper (as did I!) All in all, a good time had by... all. =)

Almost looks comfortable doesn't it?

Big Accomplishments!

Sorry the quality is quite bad. Just before bedtime and the light downstairs is not very bright! You get the idea though. =)

Decorating the Tree!

Thanks to Farfar for picking up a tree for us! We decorated it a couple nights ago... well, I decorated and tried to keep the decorations on while Graye went around and tried to pull them all off again. To give him credit he did put them back "on" after by shoving them into the tree until they stayed.

Graye's decorating technique: finding a bow that will hold the decorations and just making a pile of them there.

This week...

I finally got a chance to finish the paint in Graye's room - put a puppy dog stencil all the way around. Graye thought it was pretty good, especially since the one white dog in the middle looks like Baba and Dida's dog, Buster.


Tegan got a Christmas 'Who' Hairdo after her bath the other night!

Tegan also got quite sick a couple nights ago so we went to the hospital as her fever was really high. She's ok now, has a cold and cough, but that's pretty typical for winter/Christmas in our family! Getting flowers made it all much better... thanks Daddy!
