Christmas 2009

We had a great christmas this year. It was busy as always but we both enjoyed it very much. Ryland was spoiled beyond belief. Lance and I realized we didn't need to buy him a thing. He was well taken care of...thanks everyone! It was fun to shop for him though and we did get him a few things. He didn't really understand much of christmas, but he loved playing with the wrapping paper and loves all of his new toys. It was great to have Lance's sister Brenda and her husband Luke and of course Ryland's cousin Adelaide stay with us all week. We started our christmas eve festivites by giving Ryland a haircut. Brenda is amazing with hair and did a great job on Rylands. He needed it pretty bad. Now he looks like he is 5 years old with his hair shorter, it turned out great though.
Most of the haircut went like this....ya, thanks Brenda for dealing with it. Maybe next time will go better :)

After the cut. Thanks Bren!

I just had to snap some pictures, so adorable!

We then headed to brunch at George's house. The food was amazing and we had a great time visiting with everyone there. We had to take some pictures of Ryland and Adelaide together of course.


Ryland, Adelaide, Lisa and Me

We spent Christmas Eve night at my parents house. We had an awesome Christmas eve dinner followed by a program.
All the grandkids did the nativity for us. So cute. Ryland was a bit to tired to join in on that one. Next year...

We went to Gildas for a little bit after the fun at my parents house. We had some awesome gumbo there....so good!

Lance was able to get his fousball skills on too. Too bad Lisa and I beat him and Brenda! :) Better luck next year guys!

We spent the night at my parents and enjoyed looking at christmas lights with them and of course watching elf.
Christmas morning started at 5 a.m. Lance and I were shocked when none of the kids were waking us up before then. Lance being the brother he is went and woke everyone up.
Going down the stairs to see what Santa brought.

Ryland loved playing with his toys and watching everyone open presents. Here he is with his new train.

He also loved the snack Santa put in his stocking. Nothing like strawberry apple puffs at 6 in the morning! Notice the adorable pjs my mom made all the grandkids for christmas! Love them!

We then headed home and enjoyed Christmas morning with Brenda, Luke, Adelaide, and Lisa here. So fun. Ryland was beyond spoiled with everything he got.
Ryland loved playing on this activity table Lisa gave him.

We had breakfast christmas morning and went to see my Grandma. Then we spent some time with Lance's Dad. Yes, he was spoiled once again. We had Ryland in his santa suit and Adelaide in her christmas dress so of course we had to get a few pictures again.

We had a great christmas if you couldn't tell. Sorry for such a long post! :) I have more pictures still if you want more!! We hope you all had a great christmas. What a wonderful time of year to spend with family and be able to celebrate the birth of our Savoir. We hope the new year brings us as much happiness as the ones before! :)
