Merry Christmas!

Santa was VERY good to us this year. (most of which was courtesy of a recalled baby item...we got a sweet rebate check that we had to spend on fisher- price stuff. Lucky Tyler)Christmas Eve we enjoyed a great turkey dinner and read the Christmas story out of the Bible. Tyler enjoyed leading the music as we sang some Christmas Carols. We let our little guy open one present on Christmas Eve and he chose his super cool tool chest/work bench. He sat and played with it for at least 20 minutes straight. For anyone with kids you know what a miracle that is. Santa came and got the tree loaded up and it was only a few hours until Tyler woke up (at 5:45 am) and wanted to come downstairs to play. We spent the early morning making coffee cake and sticky buns. The family came down to join us for Christmas at 7am.

Tyler's first gift of the morning was a new trike from Granny and Grandpa! He loves to hop on it and scoot around the house. Tyler was spoiled rotten. He also got an awesome fire truck, a bull-dozer, a hot wheels transporter with some extra cars, play dough, 4 books, 3 movies, a training potty, a bed rail, and new bedding for his big boy bed (which he will hopefully be in before his little brother gets here). He also got a new top and some goodies in his stocking. As I have said many times this season- this Christmas will never be topped and I hope that Tyler is young enough to forget how many gifts he got. I am completely enforcing a 2 gift maximum from here on out!!
Ryan got two pairs of shoes, a Volcom beenie a new sweater, two movies, a video of the early years including his first steps and Christmas, and our family gifts were new pots and pans and some serving dishes.
I got two maternity shirts, a Volcom jacket, and the pots and pans and serving dishes.

We were definitely spoiled rotten- no question about it! We have enjoyed having family around and Tyler is going to miss his company. He is loving his Granny, Grandpa, and Uncle Kyle.
Thank you to our family far away for taking such good care of us. We love you all and know how blessed we are to have you. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Laura! I'm glad you had such a good christmas. Your little guy is absolutely aborable!! Thanks for all the great comments and tips! My maternity wardrobe secret is that i didn't buy any maternity clothes! I just continued to shop in BP at Nordstrom and alot of what we had worked for me. The nice thing about it is that now that i'm not prego anymore i can still wear everything, and believe it or not i still like it all, because it fits a little different now. Congrats on the new little one. I'm so excited for you guys!
