Merry Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas. Ryan was able to be home with us for Christmas Eve and

most of Christmas day. The boys could hardly contain their excitement on Christmas Eve. We did our traditional homemade pizza and snacks and watched the story of the birth of Christ.

It was such a fun year with the boys being old enough to enjoy giving gifts to one another and understanding what was going on.

Christmas morning the boys woke us up just after seven and from there it was a tornado of wrapping paper and squeals of excitment. Bradley screamed like a girl every time he opened

a gift because he was so happy. It was so much fun for Ryan and I.

Christmas dinner went fabulous- it was nice to have a quiet dinner with our little family. Ryan taught Josh how to carve a turkey and the boys took turns doing "cheers" to everyone around the table. We were able to sit back, look around and realize how blessed we are.
