More Christmas pics...

Santa brought Ryan a play kitchen and grill set! Christmas morning was filled with lots of presents...for Ryan and mommy:) Aunt YayYay and Grammiz spoiled Ry once again. On Christmas day PawPaw and Meemaw came over to visit, then Grandmomma who brought Ryan a Tickle me Elmo and some animal books. Christmas night we had dinner with YayYay, Trent and Grammiz and Grandad. What a busy day!

Christmas!!

Christmas flew by again this year. I swear the older I get, the faster they go by. We tried to spend a lot of time with family since that is the most imporant part of the holiday to me. Aunt Heather and Uncle John came to Atlanta for the weekend. We had a great time visiting with them and talking about JDE IV. We can't wait to meet him.

Ryan and daddy went to PawPaw's house for the Bailey party on Saturday. Ryan got a Spiderman chair that he loves... He also gots lots of other toys. We all went to the children's mass on Christmas Eve and then opened some presents after dinner.

Lazy Sunday

Three generations...watching football, drinking beer, eating bananas without pants...

Allen Family Christmas

The Allen Family Christmas party was at our house last Sunday. We ate a big meal with lots of desserts- Ryan and mommy especially liked the red velvet cake! We played the traditional dirty christmas game and let the kids open gifts. Ry had a great time playing with his cousins Tyler, Austin, Logan, and Emma.

Ry's First Santa Visit

Ryan had his first encounter with the big man over the weekend. We went to the Happy Birthday Jesus party at the club with Gramiz, Grandad, Aunt YayYay and Uncle TDogg. Ryan had a blast looking at all the lights and Christmas decorations. He was a little suspicious of Santa and didn't want to sit on his lap, so mommy had to tell Santa what Ry wanted for Christmas.

Here are some pics, Ryan was kind enough to salt Grandad's food for him...

Turkey Day

We had a busy Thanksgiving this year. Ryan and mommy ate breakfast at Gramiz house, went to PawPaw's for turkey lunch, and then back to Gramiz for dinner. Aunt Rachel and cousin Carter came into town for the weekend and Ryan loved playing with his cousin.

Weekend Get-Away, Highlands, NC

We just returned from a fun weekend with the Samuelson's in Highlands, NC. We stayed at Whit's parents beautiful home on Wildcat Cliffs. Ryan and Caroline had fun playing together and jumping in the leaves. They are so cute together and have even been called an "arranged marriage" already:)

Halloween Party at Dunwoody Christian Academy

Ryan was the star of his class at the DCA Parade! He walked in accompanied by Miss Loveone while the other kids rode in on the Bye-Bye buggies. Little Stinker enjoyed the party with his Grammiz, Grandmomma, and Aunt Kate-Kate/Yay-Yay.

Happy Halloween!

Mr. Skunky has been enjoying the Halloween festivities over the last few days. We went to a Halloween party at Avery's house on Saturday and Ryan really liked her toys and playset.

Pumpkin Picking

On Friday we took a ride up to Burt's Farm in North Georgia to pick out our Halloween pumpkins. Ryan had a "ball" as he tried to pick up every pumpkin in the patch. We also went on a hayride through the fields. It was a fun day and is sure to become a yearly tradition!

Ryan's first GA Tech game

Yesterday we took Ryan into his first Ga Tech football game. We rolled into the tailgate scene with Ry in his Radio Flyer wagon. Ryan enjoyed himself at the tailgate- eating grapes and rice krispie treats most of the time. He also pointed out every ball in sight by yelling "BALL" his favorite and only word besides "duck."

When we got to our seats in the stadium, we realized it was going to be a hot afternoon sitting right in the sun. Ry cheered on the Jackets for half of a quarter, and after that it was time to go. The Jackets upset Clemson in a close game that mommy and Ry watched the second half of on the sofa at home.

What up, Blogger?

I thought it would be cool to have a place where friends and family can go to read updates, see pictures, and share news! Check back now and again as I figure out how to use this thing... Tracy
