Christmas at Mom and Dad's

We were at Mom's for the past week. We spread out gift opening over the course of 3 days. Here are a few shots from gift opening:

Happy 4th Birthday, Ryan!

Does it ever hit you sometimes how incredibly fast time goes? Today I have stopped to think about how fast the last 4 years have gone. Amazing! Ryan had a great birthday party, despite the snowstorm/upcoming blizzard predicted. Thankfully all of our guests in attendance lived (or were staying) within a mile or so, except my parents (and they made it home safely as well!) We had a couple of families unable to make it due to the weather, but we were grateful as many could come for Ryan's party. He had so much fun with his best friends! The neighbor group on the bottom - Grace, Ryan, Elliott, and Lukas - it is so fun to watch them grow up together! Thanks to everyone for coming and making this day so special for Ryan. Happy Birthday, Little Man! :)

Bedtime Story with Grandpa

Grandpa is by far the favorite for Carter. He can't wait to see Grandpa. We'll do only if Grandpa is not around! Grandpa read bedtime stories to Carter this weekend - Carter was in his glory! :)

Christmas Program

Ryan had his Christmas Program for Preschool this morning. The kids were so cute up on stage, singing their songs! Ryan sang a little bit, and then just watched what was going on around him. Grace was right next to him and she sang every song! It was great to see - I love his preschool teacher, Mrs. Skaff, her assistant, Mrs. Loftus, and the rest of the staff at Family of Christ! It was a very fun morning!

Ryan Graduated!

Today was Ryan's last day in Danny's Little Twos Class. He will start Little Threes after the Holiday Break. It was a quiet day at swimming lessons - he was the only child in the pool and he had 2 instructors working with him - one was in training. Ryan has come a long way since starting this class and it has been fun to see his progress. He was excited to get his "graduation bookmark"!

Daycare Birthday Party

Ryan had his birthday party with his daycare friends this afternoon. They had cupcakes and then he opened his gift from Jill - a new tent! He was so happy to tell me all about his tent! Thanks for making his day so special, Jill!

Preschool Birthday Party

Ryan had his birthday party at preschool this morning. He was so excited! Mrs. Loftus makes the day so much fun for the kids!
