Christmas 2006

We had a very special Christmas this year in Seattle. It was so nice to be able to celebrate with ALL of our family - grandmas, grandpas, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. We feel very blessed that both of our families are in the same community!

At 26 months, Ryan just started to understand the concept of Christmas - well, he understood the present aspect, not the true meaning. He did run around singing, "Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus" - and happy birthday to Daddy, too - which makes things even more confusing!

He loved opening presents, but was a bit overwhelmed. When he opened a gift, he wanted to play with that particular toy. He didn't want to continue opening presents. He is very loved by all his grandparents and aunts and uncles - he made out with an entire fleet of Tonka vehicles, and many other cars, trucks, trains, etc. - a 2-year old boy's dream!!

Caitlin was Caitlin - happy and content to take in everything and occasionally chew on some wrapping paper if she could get her hands on it!!

We hope that you and your family had a blessed Christmas season!
