Christmas Eve

Every Christmas Eve we go to my parent's house for dinner and then to Dana and Donna's to celebrate.  My mom let the kids open a few presents.  The girls were beyond excited!

I wasn't sure how Ryker would do opening presents this year.  Needless to say...he didn't want anyone helping him.

But it was okay for him to help Sissy! :)  She's so good to him!

Ryker & Ayken

Grandma found this dog video on Facebook where the dog leaves cookies for Santa and hangs his stocking.  He tries to stay awake to see Santa, but ends up falling asleep.  It was cute, but HOLY COW we had to watch it over and over and over again.  Ryker was a little obsessed!

Grandma Garst with Ellie

We first sang Happy Birthday to Collin and let him open his birthday presents.

Then we moved on to Christmas presents. Ryker was definitely excited for his little trucks.

Even rolling them over Aunt Heather's head. :)

Then Hadley and Brooke decide they are going to sing songs from Brooke and Ellie's Christmas program.  We haven't gotten to see their program yet because it was canceled due to the snow day.  Ellie wouldn't go up, but once the girls started...Ryker backed himself up right next to Brooke and started performing along with them. It was hilarious!

He had to check with Brooke and Hadley to make sure he was doing the right moves. LOL!

Oh Ryker...you make my heart light up!

Thank you EVERYONE for the thoughtful and kind gifts that were given to our children. 
We are all so blessed to have you in our lives!
