Life has been going by at 100 miles per hour and I finally found a minute to catch my breath and update my blog. So here goes!

Christmas came and went, and much to my surprise it never started to really feel like Christmas. Christmas was getting close, and then it was here, and now it’s gone. Blah :/ But it was incredibly fun to watch K open all of her gifts. Christmas morning went like this… we handed K a present, she ripped it open and found the most spectacular toy she had ever seen, we took it out of the packaging and let her play with it for a minute or so, and then gave her another present. She screamed, threw the present, and continued to play with her new toy (the previous present). We then had to hide the first present, let her scream for about 10 seconds, give her a new present and watch the cycle repeat itself… about 35 times. But it was fun at the end when we brought back all of the hidden presents. She had so much fun with her new toys!

My brother is here! We’re so excited, we’ve had so much fun, and we love him to pieces! It’s been SOOOO nice to have him back for awhile. He likes to bark at Kaelyn while he’s playing with her, and she giggles and calls him her “pup pup” (puppy). He leaves for Idaho on the 2nd. :(

Josh is off work until the 4th. It’s great to have him home and we’ve been able to do lots of fun stuff! He took his vacation time because we were planning to go to Idaho, but then that got canceled and now he just has vacation time to hang out at home. Yay!

Yesterday we took my little sister, Sarah, with us to Sea World and K went on the Sesame Street rides. It was funny because they don’t allow “hand-held infants” on the rides, so before they would let us go on Kaelyn had to prove to them that she could take 3 steps on her own. Kind of silly if you ask me, but whatev. We went on the tea cups, Elmo’s flying fish, and some eel roller-coaster thingy. K LOVED it!

Oh! And the other night we had my brother, Tyler, and Rachael over for a movie and a game. It was fun! Josh had a few alcoholic drinks which gave him the courage to finally tell his mom he’s upset about her going to Oregon for Kaelyn’s first Christmas and feels as if she doesn’t make K much of a priority. Go Josh! I’m sure he feels much better now that he has that off his shoulders. It has been bugging him for awhile now.

That’s the reader’s digest version. Sorry if it’s not as entertaining as my usual posts. I’m sure I’ll find something interesting to complain about sooner or later ;)
