The Holidays!


We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We can't believe it's already New Year's! Where does all the time go? We can hardly believe Ryan's already two. Sorry we haven't blogged in a while. We've celebrated a birthday, Christmas and now tonight will be New Year's...though I doubt Ryan will make it to midnight.....! We will be 5 months pregnant next week and all the test results that they make you do have come back negative, so we're excited about that. Ryan's getting used to the fact that a new baby will be here soon. Daddy painted the nursery and we've slowly begun moving stuff in to help prepare Ryan. He seems to be fine with all the change. I'll let you know how it goes, come May. Ryan is dying to go potty in the big boy toilet, so that's a work in progress. I never knew it would be so difficult to find little boy boxer briefs in a 2T, but we finally found some. Though we're excited about potty training, it also makes me a bit sad knowing that Ryan won't be the 'baby' anymore. Next week we will have the ultrasound that allows us to see the sex of the baby. But don't get too excited....we'll be bringing an envelope again this time too. You'll just have to wait until May. With all of the kicking and moving around inside my belly....I'm already counting down the days until May 28th! Enjoy all of the pictures.

I love my birthday puzzle

Makayla and Ryan with his party hat
When he places this hat upon his head, he runs around the house yelling "party, party" and you too must wear a hat!

Mmmm! frosting in the back of my dump truck

Ryan was SOOOO excited to see Santa, he could hardly stand it.

When it was finally his turn (after waiting an eternity; 10 minutes) he ran to Santa and could not stop smiling.

I can't stand the waiting!!!!

Mrs. Michelle invited us over for a gingerbread house party. Here are all the kids waiting patiently

Mrs. Michelle and Wyatt

Tada! (in Makayla's own words). Our finished house.

I think Ryan liked eating the candy off the house more than the house itself.

Ryan's deciding if he really wants one of these babies in his own house...???

Ryan has a hat obsession lately!
