Santa's Sleigh had a hole in it!

Well, Santa managed to get one under the tree, while the others were lost in la la land. Gotta love Amazon.com. Oh well they arrived and we told Katie Santa had a hole in his sleigh and they fell out, but the mailman found them and delivered them to our house....hehe.

Are you kidding me with these?

Christmas Round 4...the finale!

Saturday my mom's family celebrated Christmas here at the house and it was great to see everyone! It was the first time they all got to meet Ryan as well so he got thoroughly spoiled. :) I think I got pictures of everyone except for Lorenzo. :( Oh and my Dad who was quarantined upstairs with a nasty bug.

My Aunt Judy and Ryan


Katie and Jace had lots of fun together!

Hmmm...seems I missed my brother. We had a great time seeing everyone!

It was a White Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas morning, but it wasn't Katie begging to get up to see what Santa brought...it was Grandma begging to wake Katie up! Not too many pictures as I wanted to be apart of the event, but Daddy did get some video which I'll try to post later.

This isn't techically Christmas morning, but Christmas Eve before the kiddos went to bed. Ryan is thrilled!


Katie finally got her Baby Choo Choo, which we've heard about every time the commercial came on after a cartoon!


Brandon, Becca and Keith watching the fun...
