We're Back!

Well, our Christmas vacation is over. And I am so very sad to come back to the "real" world. I will miss my family terribly. It was nice to see my brother, Mark, after over 2 years. Yes, Mark, 2 years! That is WAY too long. And seeing my mom again this year was wonderful. Our gracious hosts, Tammy and Mike, made us feel welcome like always. And Ryan loved playing with his cousins Sydney and Garrett. Our trip home was long. Ryan made no complaints and actually was the perfect traveler. Here are some new snapshots from Christmas time!

Ryan looking so enthused to be sitting on Santa's lap at Mike's Christmas party for his office.

He was more enthused to be eating his first candy cane!

Uncle Mark deciding which size implant he wanted for Christmas(hahahahaha)

The kids attacking Uncle Mark

Trying on Grandma's Dutch wooden shoes

Our Christmas gift to Mike and Tammy (everyone needs a HUGE inflatable Homer)

Ryan checking out the gift to Mike and Tammy from Uncle Mark (yes, that is an inflatable leg lamp ala Christmas Story, again totally classssyyyyy)

On Christmas Eve we celerated the birth of Baby Jesus with a cake

And sang Happy Birthday...Ryan loved that part!
