I'm back!

It's been a while since I last posted to my blog - you may have noticed! I've been a little busy and a lot lazy about posting so I hope to catch you up on what's been happening here.

Of course, we just celebrated Christmas - had our "famous" prime rib dinner on Christmas eve/Arron's birthday and it was good as usual. Joey planned to be here and, we found out the day before, that Evan and Crystal and their kids would also be joining us. Crystal's dad, who was planning to visit them for Christmas, was unable to fly out of Spokane so his loss was our gain. I had been a little depressed that we wouldn't see any of our grandkids for Christmas but we lucked out! It was fun to have them here, even though they haven't figured out what Christmas is all about yet.

Here's a picture of Ashlan, one of the few that I could take while she was standing in ONE place!

Here's one of little Evan while sitting on uncle Joey's lap.


They were more intrigued by the ribbons and bows than by the gifts inside. But they were so cute and next year, I'm sure Ashlan will be a little more excited about Christmas. Here's a couple of video clips of their excitement over their gifts!



Once Evan opened his gifts, he offered to help Ashlan with hers!



Ashlan and Evan both enjoy her new dolly stroller!















Uncle Joey was a big hit with both kids! He loves to play with them.
