MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

This year was really special because it was Ryan's first Christmas! Adam and I really enjoyed seeing Ryan with all of his presents. We were very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who gave Ryan so much! We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you to Everyone!!!

We usually start celebrating the holiday on Christmas Eve when we go to my Aunt's house to exchange gifts with my cousins. Unfortunately, I had to work one of my very long, 16 hour shifts on Christmas Eve so I didn't get home from work until midnight. Adam and Ryan went to Adam's parents for the evening and relaxed.

Christmas morning, we woke up and opened the gifts that we got each other. Ryan had gifts from us and Santa Claus. Adam and I did most of the unwrapping because Ryan still really doesn't know what's going on. Most people were telling us that their children were more interested in the paper and boxes rather than the toys, but Ryan really enjoyed his baby grand piano that he got from Santa.

Then, we went to my parents house for lunch and exchanged gifts with them. Ryan got so many toys and clothes it was unbelieveable. I think that more than half of the gifts under my parents tree were for Ryan. It was Great! Later, we went to Adam's grandparents for dinner. They had great food and, of course, more gifts for Ryan!

The next day, we went to have lunch at Adam's parents house so we could have a small Christmas with them. They gave us Ryan's next step carseat which was very helpful. Overall, we had a great CHristmas and we hope that yours was very special too!
