Christmas Day

Christmas Day was jam packed this year!
First, we all woke up and let Ryan open his Santa presents first thing! He loved them! He was so excited and in such a good mood!

his big present was a 4wheeler!!

all his presents from Santa!

 After that we went to my parents house where Ryan opened even more presents!!

We stayed until early afternoon and then we went to spend time with Matt's family! Unfortunately, we weren't there for long due to the stupid storm, but we got a few pics!

 We had a great Christmas this year! Matt and I are so incredibly blessed! This year we have learned that the Lord provides at all times and that we have amazing family and friends! 2012 was a great year and brought us many blessings :)

Lately

Well, I've been lacking on the blog lately! Here's what we've been up to!

Ryan and I in front of a big ole tree!

Matt ducking hunting with some co-workers

Silly baby loves eating his socks! 

Take out the batteries and Ryan thinks it's the greatest toy ever! 

1st time in a highchair at a restaurant!

Whad up slim shady!!

We went to Chick Fil-A this past Saturday and got to meet Santa Cow!

No tears! Just confusion...

Uncle Bud is home for Christmas break!

This picture came out awful but we went to the symphony on Sunday! Great show!

 As boring as that is- that's all I got right now! Christmas is only 6 days away and we are so excited! This is a very special Christmas for our little family! Matt and I are so excited to celebrate Ryan's first Christmas! We are blessed!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Well folks, it's that time of the year! My favorite time of the year! CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody freak out! I know I am!! I'm trying to soak it all in because every year it goes too fast and this year is a very special one :)
Here's my lil Christmas angel wearing Daddy's hat! And guess where we are?? The allergist. Blah!

 Long story short: last week we found out that Ryan is allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts and pet dander! He drinks milk-based formula and we have 2 dogs! Great!
After 3 doctors visits he is now drinking soy formula, washing his clothes in hypoallergenic detergent, using a steroid cream for his eczema, and giving him prescription allergy medicine at night along with an array hypoallergenic lotions and washes! Geez! He's more high maintenance than me... almost :)

So, that was the excitement last week! This past weekend we finally decorated the tree! It's been up for a few weeks but we just hadn't had a chance to actually decorate it! I wanted Ryan to be apart of it and finding a time when he wasn't sleeping or eating is rare!

My angel in front of the tree! He loved it!

Sunday night we had our annual Christmas dinner at church! We get dressed up and have a great time eating, enjoying each other's company and a short program! Ryan did so good!

This was Sunday morning at church- notice his snowman sweater vest :)

Until next time! This is all I got today folks!
