Christmas Day

This is what Santa left for Ryleigh! A cozy coupe car, baby doll stroller, and a stocking full of fun stuff!


She LOVES her new wheels!!!!

Pajama family!

Roo's new slide from GrMa & Pop Pop!

She likes to get into her car Nascar-style by climbing in the window instead of opening the door! lol!

*funny story - when Roo came out to see what Santa had brought she was so excited! GrMa Joanne pointed out that Santa had brought those things for her, and Roo looked puzzled for a minute before running over to a tiny animated Santa we have and picking him up and hugging him saying "ho ho ho"!! we laughed so hard! she must have thought "wow, he's really small, but I guess if he brought me all this stuff I better give him a hug"! lol!*

We had such a wonderful Christmas! We are too blessed! Bette, Bob, and Miss Mary drove all the way up from Corpus Christi to be with us, and GrMa Joanne, Pop Pop Dave, and Uncle Jordan came over too! Ryleigh had sooooo many presents to open, she was running in circles trying to play with everything at once! Some of her presents include: hello hitty purse, disney princess toothbrush, giggling Elmo doll, Elmo movies, clothes, baby Ugg boots, lots of books, a toy vaccum, ABC fridge magnets, toy food and dishes for her kitchen, tons of clothes, bathtub crayons, stuffed kangaroos, and sooo much more! whew! Ryan got an awesome set of tools and a tool storage chest, I got GORGEOUS new Uggs, tons of beautiful clothes, and even a ShamWOW (that's a totally differnet blog, I will have to give y'all my product review on that one! I love it!)!! I can't even begin to cover how generous everyone was to us this Christmas! It's just mind boggling! After opening presents we sat down to a HUGE meal and stuffed ourselves silly! We got to talk to the AZ tribe on Skype a few times throughout the day, which was awesome! And the most exciting part of Christmas for me.... drumroll please...... RYAN AGREED WE CAN GET A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, our family will soon be complete! We are looking for a labradoodle! yay!!!! anywhoo... I better cut this blog short and get to cleaning my house and figuring out how I am going to rearrange Roo's room to make all her new toys fit! Let's put it this way - all she needs for her birthday are empty boxes, and if you people get her anything else, I'm gonna put you on Santa's naughty list for next year!!!!!!!

Thank you so much, everyone for the gifts, cards, and most of all FAMILY TIME you gave us this Christmas! We love you all so much, and thank God for each and every one of our wacky, fun, and loving family members!

p.s. we have some videos from Christmas too, so we'll post those as soon as we get a chance to edit them!
