Christmas has come and gone...

It is always sad when the Christmas season is over. Because thru it all we usually get to spend lots of time with family. And so its no fun when its all over. But we had a great Christmas this year. As you can tell from the previous posts we had several family Christmas parties and had lots of fun at all of them. This year Justin was suppose to work on Christmas day. I asked him if he could try and get it off so that we could have a fun relaxing day instead of it being rushed. And he was able to get it off. So we were happy about that. Ryken had lots of fun this Christmas. Last year he didn't really know what to do with everything. But this year was a little better. He tore into most of his presents with a little bit of help. And of course once the gift was open he wanted to just play with it and didn't want to open another one. So it did take us a little longer then we expected to get all of his gifts opened. And after each toy he was pretty excited it was the clothes and shoes that seemed to bum him out. He didn't enjoy them. But needless to say they were probably more for me then him anyways. : ) We also had to help him out with his stocking he wasn't really sure what to do when it came to getting the stuff out of it.

But once he started he was happy to see what was inside. He likes Elmo and so Santa thought he would like this little see and say. : )

A few more of the gifts that he liked were...

This fancy magnadoodle thing. He loves magnets right now so this is so fun for him to get the animal shapes to show up on the screen.

He also really likes Mickey Mouse so he was SO happy with this fun Mickey book as well as his very own Singing Mickey!

Mommy and Daddy may be regretting that gift in the next few months, maybe even weeks. : )

Once we had opened all of our gifts from Santa and from each other Ryken still wanted to find more but wasn't able to so he decided to use a bag that had nothing in it for his very own hat...

Such a goofy, funny kiddo that's for sure. Once Ryken was down for his nap and got a little more sleep in Justin's parents came over. So we all had a late lunch together and enjoyed some down time and then it was back to opening some more presents.

Ryken got this Elmo Driver from Justin's parents. He is still a little scared by it. But I am sure it will get broken in one of these days. : )

This is his new little teddy bear so he had to show it some love. But then again I just think its a cute picture of him and his little grin. (oh and yes my son did stay in his pj's all day long.)

Just another funny/cute picture of Ryken. He usually doesn't like hats like this or any hat on his head but for some reason he will leave this beanie on for awhile. We just were getting a kick out of him and his silly little self. I think he enjoyed the attention. So we had a great Christmas this year and were spoiled beyond anything. We all got the things that we wanted and even a little more. But again I think the best part of this holiday is all the time we get to spend with the ones we love!

PS- It is not a good time to be pregnant with all the goodies around the house. I think I may have gained a few extra pounds that I didn't want to gain for awhile longer. But maybe I will just blame my chubby belly on the fact that its my second baby. : ) I can do that right? We hope that everyone had a great and safe Christmas and have a safe and fun New Year's too!
