CHRISTMAS

We had a wonderful Christmas and both of our families were able to come visit.  The Latimer's arrived on the 23rd and stayed until the 26th and the Taylor's followed just afterwards.  Lets just say that Ryan did not lack for attention.  He loved it!

I will say that we had so much fun and were super busy that I forgot to pull out my camera many times.  I can't believe we didn't even take a family picture in front of the tree or get any good ones with the grandparents.  Sorry, I guess that happens with a toddler on the move!

We started our Latimer visit out with a trip back to Explora.

All dressed and ready to go to the Christmas Eve service.  Really, this is the best I got?!  Such a ham though!

Christmas morning the three of us got up to see what Santa had brought.  He was still pretty clueless about the whole "Santa" thing, but he could tell you that Santa says "ho, ho, ho" if you asked.
Santa brought him a basketball goal and a riding toy for in the house.

He loved them both and couldn't decide which to play with first or how to play with both at the same time.

Then Pop, GoGo, and Uncle Lindsey joined in on the fun.  We checked out the good stuff in our stockings, had breakfast (Ryan loved coffee cake!), and opened gifts.  I do believe he took a 3 hour nap that day.

The next day we took a fun trip to the aquarium and a quick run through the botanical gardens.

 

 

Thanks for a great Christmas Latimer's!
