Sky's Joke

Skylar has a phrase that he's been saying for about 2 months now. He goes around pointing to everything, saying "What's that?" So we've been telling him what everything in the world is. Sometimes he doesn't even point he just says what's that. So when he doesn't point to anything we ask him what he's asking about and he says "I don't know". Then he starts laughing in his cute little laugh and looks at you like ha ha I'm so funny. He's starting on his path to be a comedian already.

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve was a lot of fun this year as it has been the last couple of years. Skylar was able to enjoy it a little more this year than he did last year. To start off with New Year's Eve was mine and Matt's 3 year aniversary. Happy Anniversary to us!! So we planned on going out to dinner for our anniversary before we went to the annual New Years Eve party, but everywhere we went had a wait of more than an hour so we went to a place that was a little better than a fast food place but not much. Oh well we should have none better than to try that.

Off to the New Year's Eve party we went. This New Year's Eve party is a little different from most. At this party there are 8 games set up and at each game there is a tournament bracket, like the march madness brackets. And everyone at the party has to play each game and see how far you can get on the bracket. One of the games was Foos-ball and Matt won the tournament. He's always been in the top two people of that one since we've been going to the party. I'll have to admit he's pretty good. Sky just ran around trying to play all the games all night. He actual stayed up as late as the rest of us which was 2:30 a.m. He was out by the time we got home though.

Here are some pictures from the party and some pictures and videos from the party. One is Matt in the Championship game. One of the videos is Matt doing a dance game against his dad and the other video is Matt training Skylar for next year's compitition.

Christmas

Christmas this year was almost as busy as last year. We started out by going over to Matt's parents house for Christmas Eve. Matt's aunt Jackie and uncle Dan and his cousins Preston and Kelli came over too. When we first arrived we learned that Stevie's (Matt's sister) flight was late, so Matt's dad left a little later than he planned and waited at the airport for her to arrive. While we were waiting for them to get back we all sat around playing games and snacking. Once they got home we were suppose to eat our big Christmas Eve dinner. To say the least Matt's dad and sister were the only ones hungry when they got home because we had been snacking. Not only was Stevie hungry, but she was also without a suitcase because the airport had lost it. So once they got home Tom cooked the stakes and we ate some more. After dinner Skylar was really tired so he had to open his magic jammys so he could go to bed. Aunt Stevie helped him open them. It was funny how much noise the box made before he opened it, but we soon found out why. Elmo was inside making all kinds of noise. Then Sky went to bed and the rest of us played games till pretty late.

Christmas day we got up at 8:00. It's kinda funny that Skylar was not the one that woke up. Matt and I woke up. It was more me than Matt. My body is so used to getting up early, sleeping in doesn't happen very often. So we got up and open presents and then we had breakfast as a family. Then we all had to get ready to go over to Matt's grandparents house to see his dad's side of the family and eat lunch. We were there for a while. Once we left there we hung out at Matt's parents house for a little while then headed back to our apartment to do Christmas there. To say the least Skylar was done with Christmas by the time we got home. He opened a few things. Then just wanted to play. We were tired that night and went to bed early. The best thing was that none of the three of us had to go to work the next day!! I was very excited about that. So that is how our Christmas went, I'll have to let you know about New Year's later.
