Christmas 2010

I cleaned off the camera this morning (1/4) since Ryan decided to sleep until 9am! I found a few pictures from Christmas and the few days before it. You'll notice I didn't take many on the actual day, I had a 28 pound weight attached to my leg what seemed to be at all times. Better luck next year!


Ryan still fits in his bird sled from last year, with knees bent. Here Dean gives him a ride around the yard.
It was a chilly one! Even Gizmo ended up wearing boots that day.

Cold weather didn't bother Ryan at all, he trekked up and down the sidewalk like it was a balmy 60 degree day, rather than a frigid one in the teens.

And now the Christmas pictures:

Cousin Adam received some dress up clothes. Although I missed getting an absolutely adorable shot of him in the construction workers clothes, here he is - following in the steps of his parents and dressed as Dr. Lendman.

Looks like Gramma Pat was one of Dr. Adam's patients.

Ryan loves his trampoline. He wasn't a big fan of jumping on it that day while people watched, but it's a hit at our house now!

The tunnel/tent toy also was a popular one. The tent is almost big enough for Dean to sit in, but Ryan loves to hide in it.

And that's it for Christmas pictures, I told you there weren't many!

Dean's parents (Nana and Grandpa - who like my dad Ryan ended up calling Papa) came out for a visit. I finally remembered to get out the camera the last day they were here. Ryan's little issue of separation from me carried on through the week. I'm the one taking the picture and he was mad that I wasn't holding him. I tell myself he won't do this when he's in kindergarten, it's just a phase he'll grow out of.

A much happier little boy now that mama is holding him, though you can still see the tears in his eyes.

Even daddy's death grip couldn't calm the whinin' Ryan.

Our family of four, and a half - though you can't see any sign of our half in there yet! Won't be long I'm sure.
