Christmas ~ Part II

We spent Christmas Eve at Ryan's aunt's house where Jill and Kaiser provided a delicious dinner, we played a gift exchange game and sang carols. We had such a great time!! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera so all the pictures on on Jill's camera... I may get them sometime... :)

Christmas morning is still pretty slow paced and relaxing around here. I think Ryan and I were more anxious for it than Dylan, he's not quite into it yet. But doesn't he look adorable in his Christmas jammies!?!


We went a little overboard this year, the playroom pretty much needed a full makeover. Dylan has outgrown his baby toys but isn't quite to the kids toys yet, it's a strange stage really. His favorite thing to do it put things in cupboards, boxes, etc. and take them out and try them in new spots. You wouldn't believe the things I find in my kitchen cupboards! It's awesome!! So we had to kind of guess what he may like in the next few months and found some great deals on these wooden toys that we really like. Here are some pictures of the new playroom with a play table (he got a small train from Grandparent's Thomas and some cars to drive on there from Grandma Humphrey and Anna, but he doesn't quite get it yet) he mostly just stacks everything up there (including himself) and then takes it all off, over and over... He also loves to play with the kitchens anywhere we go, again with the cupboard thing! So Santa got him a play kitchen and this play house which truthfully I play with more than him! I love that he is already pretending to make food and feeds us when it is ready. We also got a treehouse that matches these but it's too old for him so I think Santa gave it to the Easter Bunny...

Obviously he wasn't interested at all in looking at the camera.

Two perfect examples of him taking everything to place in the oven, including the sink and the play house bathroom!


As I said before Ryan got me the new video camera - really it's for all of us since I know you all will be loving the videos I post on here! *wink, wink And I got Ryan a leather messenger bag for his computer and school stuff, he has wanted one for a while and it was a complete surprise! Yeah me!!

After Santa and family gifts at our house we got ready and went to the wild and crazy Thomas house for brunch and presents - lots and lots of presents... Stay tuned I have to get the pictures before I post about that, I know you're on the edge of your seats in anticipation!
