Our December was packed, with going to Jungle Bells to see the lights
and some animals
and hot chocolate, mm
and Santa. 
We also went to see the lights at Sea World
And Christmas parties with friends
And learning to crawl!
We watched a very long parade. So long we walked home for Mikey to use the potty, then Rhiannon and I walked back to catch the end. Mikey said he was done, and it was nap time for Kaitlyn, so they opted to stay home with Dad and miss the end. 
The kids made a ginger bread house with Nana
And the school performances! The 3 year old class was very cute to watch, even if only half of them were singing, and only half the time. I was sure Mikey would just stand there, and I was wrong. He didn't just stand there, he sat down. heh. Godda love 3 year old Christmas performances. Sense that day he has actually started singing quite regularly. He now loves to sing deck the halls, so what if it is now 2 weeks after Christmas. 
He had lots of support there to see him though. Mom, Dad, 2 sisters, Grandma, Nana, Papa, Uncle Donny, and Grandpa. We all got the tour of his classroom. 
Mikey and his teachers
Rhiannon was awesome in her performance, smiling for her fans and singing so I could hear her over the rest from the back of the auditorium. She loves the stage :)
Rhiannon and her teacher
Christmas Eve we spent at Grandmas house, then driving around looking at lighted houses on our way home. 
She was in awe
Rhiannon's thing this year was Calico Critters. Kind of cool, I remember collecting those when I was a kid, and now she is all into them. The classics trump flashing lights and battery operated. 
Christmas morning at our house, afternoon at Nana and Papas, 
And in between we were at Granty (is that how you spell that?) Chris' house where we got to see all but 3 of the cousins. It is fun to watch them all together. 
Kaitlyn's huge dress, that was Rhiannon's on her first Christmas. Made by Nana, who by the way also made Rhiannon's dress this year, and Mikey's vest, Dads vest, and Moms skirt. We were all matchy matchy. Busy Nana.
