Christmas

We spent Christmas with my older sisters family, my parents and Grandma. Ryan enjoyed breakfast sitting on my dad's lap the whole meal.

Ryan took a nap being held by his oldest cousin Emily and my older sister.

Christmas Eve

We went out for Chinese Food on Christmas Eve with cousins and my Aunt Sue. My dad dressed as Santa and brought gifts for the kids on Christmas Eve. Ryan was still getting over his second ear ache and had a hard time Saturday night.

Another Pre-Christmas

We went to my parents house for Christmas so Ryan opened all his presents from others the day before we left. We skyped with Allen's parents in TX and they loved seeing him open his gifts. I had to run interference with the wrapping paper making it into his mouth.  

Early Christmas

We weren't spending Christmas morning at home and Allen was excited to assemble Ryan's trike; we gave it to him a couple weeks early. Ryan really enjoys his trike on short neighborhood walks. As he gets older we can remove certain parts to make it age appropriate for him. 

Thanksgiving

We drove to UT to visit my brother's family for Thanksgiving. My younger sister's family was there and we had a great time with six children!!

 The three youngest cousins, born within 6 months.

 Jack loved playing with Ryan, even when Ryan would grab him.

 We took Jack and Audrey to breakfast at Kneaders. Audrey had to bring her doll and left two pink blankets in the car!! It was her first time going with us and she did great.

 Lauren was sleeping during the last picture, but she is adorable.

Cousins

Ryan came back from UT with a double ear infection.  

LA Zoo

We went to the zoo on Veteran's day and met my sister's family. We had a blast enjoying the animals together and a yummy lunch at Bob's Big Boy.

 Ryan started chewing on his pacifier and didn't want it anymore at about 6 months. He is chilling with his cousin's polar bear from Alaska.
