We had a wonderful Christmas with four days back to back of family parties. We all got some wonderful gifts and are so thankful. We have especially loved having Mike at home with us since Dec 20th. he heads back to work January 2nd and we are all definitely going to miss him.
Here are a few of Ryan's favorites gifts this year:
Toy story Woody doll, Toy Story 2 movie, His spy set (with watch, binoculars, walkie talkies, and flashlight), Sesame Street digital camera, Lots of puzzles (we are doing all of them every day it seems), Sesame Street activity toy, Play Lawn mower, Large doodler with magnets, Thomas trains, Write and glow tent, Thomas tent, and all his books (and Ethan's). (Mom loves all the new clothes too!)
Ethan seems mostly fond of his clothing (Mom is anyways), new Sophie giraffe teether, and fish mirror- he has many other toys and books that have been put back for a later time. His rattle and links are fun toys currently. Ryan really enjoys Ethan's new large teddy bear which looks precious in E's room.
I received a new iPad courtesy of my sweet husband, several pieces of my Arthur Court grapes pattern (which is a pewter set of serving pieces), a new coat, new black shoes, hurricane vases for our formal dining, pj's, the angel and stand to complete my Willow Tree nativity, Christmas ornaments and a new Point of Grace Christmas album.
Mike received a Ruger 9mm (for home protection and target shooting down at the ranch), a folding ladder, iPhone 5 case, Apple TV, new TCU flag, Thomas Dean TCU dress shirt, Colonial and In n Out shirts, several gift cards and lots of black socks (it was the year of black socks-pretty funny)
We also received family gifts of a new mattress pad, two new pillows, bathroom towels and rugs. The boys received money for their college funds as well.
We truly have enjoyed some fun times and yummy food with family the past few weeks and are so thankful for all our blessings this holiday season. We are especially thankful that God sent his Son, Jesus, the first and most perfect gift that we celebrate this season. Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoy a wonderful New Year as we ring in 2013!!
