Christmas morning was wonderful! I apparently still have a little kid in me since I woke up at 6am with the dog and could not get back to sleep. So, I took some morning pictures and drank a nice cup of coffee while sitting next to the tree listening to Christmas music...you cannot beat that! However, I finally got a little anxious for presents and went in and woke up Ricky and Ryder (at 8...who sleeps till 8am on Christmas morning!). I think this will be the last year I wake Ryder up on Christmas.
Ryder was able to open his own gifts and loved doing so. The only problem was he wanted to play with everything he opened. So, the beginning went pretty slow. But, that made Christmas last longer, which was a treat. He ended up wearing himself out and taking a little break, which allowed Ricky and I to open our gifts. Enjoy the pictures.
6am Christmas morning...before the storm.
Ryder and Man (that is what he called his snowman) seeing the presents for the first time. Priceless.
Ryder posing with his presents...the whole right side of the pictures was Ryder presents!!
One more present under the tree.
Holy Crap!! Have you ever seen such a mess!

The Christmas Tree
We had a great time decorating the tree...that is a complete lie. The tree was rough this year. I spent the whole Christmas season saying...no no don't touch. But really, who has a 10 ft tree with nothing but glass balls and glitter bows when you have a puppy and a toddler. It was a bad idea. We finally had to call Santa and he had a phone conversation with Ryder about not touching the tree. It actually worked...can you believe it. Thank you Santa (you know who you are)!
Pictures with Santa
I was a little nervous about this years pictures with Santa, but they went great! Ryder did give both Santas the initial "what are you wearing" look, but then he managed to laugh and smile. Of course, at one Santa...I did not catch the smile in pictures.
PS Check out the sweater...no it is not from Gap...my mom made it!! It is beautiful. I wish I had this kind of talent. Ryder got so many compliments on it, I actually had to show the tag (which said made with love from Granny) to one girl because she could not believe how profession it looked. Ryder is one lucky devil.
