Christmas

We had a whirlwind of a Christmas. Our Christmas starts on Christmas eve morning at my parents' house. Ryan was beyond excited to open presents this year. He couldn't wait.

Jack was really into the wrapping paper and bows. I think the presents will be more interesting next year.

The package below was the one that interested Ryan the most. He couldn't wait to open it. Inside he found a dump truck and a loader. He was thrilled.

He also liked pretending to be a package. Here he is "surprising" me when I unwrapped my "present."

Our next Christmas event was at our house with Phil's mom and her husband, Don. The boys opened their gifts from them. Again, Jack was really into the paper and bows.

After Christmas with Grammy and Papa, we went to church where Ryan had his debut performance in the Christmas program. The preschoolers have always been and always will be my favorite part of the performance. When I asked Ryan why he didn't make the animal sounds in his favorite song he said, "because I didn't want to." I also complimented one of his friends on how well she sang. She looked at me and said, "I know." I love 3 year olds.

Our last stop on Christmas eve was at my Grandma Net's house. Denise's husband, Andrew, took the family photos for us.

Christmas concluded for us the next morning when Ryan found this gift under the tree.

He was pretty excited and had a good time riding it on Christmas morning. What an event!
