Surprise visitors...

Got up and took Cody to school and then headed back home. Rylee woke up in a pretty ok mood. She slept better than the night before, so that's good. Next thing we know Aunt Connie and Uncle Mo showed up and then my dear friend Brenda!!! Brenda brought maybe the most awesome Christmas bag of goodies ever! Needless to say, I was stuffed by the time Logan got home from school...ok, maybe before that. :-) (Best cake balls ever...sorry Kim) Connie and Mo brought lots of goodies for us from Grandma Lila's house. I can remember Logan, Cody, and now Rylee all playing on this stool. So very excited!! And Grandma sent her baby for Rylee...first official baby. Wasn't sure she would know exactly what to do with it. But she seemed to, put her in her high chair...

and then promptly shoved her out because as we all know...it's Rylee's chair! :0)

She tried and tried to fit her big ol' hiney in it. Even asked Aunt Connie for help.

And finally, after lots of hard work she squeezed in enough to be able to pull her feet up for just a second or two!

She also kicked the baby out of her bed so she could sit in it!!

She was so comfortable with Mo and Connie, bossed then around and make them do everything for her! I couldn't do a thing. Had to have them put her in her high chair, change her pants, put her shoes on, wipe her face, build blocks, help wrap up the baby...it was definitely Aunt Connie and Uncle Mo day!

It was time for Cody's party so we headed up. And yup...Aunt Connie even had to ride with us!!! Got to Cody's school and they headed home to check on Grandma. Rylee waved bye, but didn't really understand that. We went up and surprised Cody at lunch. He was soooo excited to see us. Rylee got a chair and plopped down right next to him. Cody gave her a big hug and then gave Rylee half her half his food. Such an incredible brother!!

We got home and I sent everyone to bed for naps. Cody went in his room and absolutely FREAKED out about his new shelf. "OH Wow, I love it!!" he kept saying. "Thank you Grandma Lila, I love it." :-) (It doesn't take much to make that kid happy, but maaaaan, it did!!!!)

Logan got home from his field trip. The Beta Club (Oh, by the way, we didn't' win. A family from school did...darn it!!) went shopping for their families and then to a skating party. Logan was a little worried, but turned out he did great!!! Even won a limbo contest! Woohoo what!!! After that they went to pizza and played. Having good grades has it's advantages!!

And that's about it. What a day!!! Looks like our week is looking up. Love, love, love it!!! Bring on Christmas break!! Love and miss you all!
