I love Christmas Eve! It’s always such a rush, trying to get last minute things ready for the big day, the anticipation builds up and our Christmas cheer is at an all time high! Then in the evening my family gets together for food, fun, fellowship, and our gift exchange…which of course is always fun! We were reflecting tonight on how much and how quickly things change. Remembering what it was like when Sydney was the only baby in the family, and how blessed we were to be able to spend the past few years with Tim, Ashley, and Trinity (who we’re all missing like crazy this year! My oldest brother is deployed, and his wife and my niece are in Hawaii), and now having Ryder as a part of our family…it’s just amazing how things change and life just goes on, constantly moving forward. One thing that always remains the same is the love of our family. You can feel it from the second you walk in the door, it’s comfortable and it’s heartwarming…it’s home! There’s no other feeling like it :) Here are pictures from our Christmas Eve with my family:
Of course Yaya finds Ryder a mailbox! Perfect gift from the mail lady…he loves this thing!
Uncle Dwayne & Aunt Jess bought Ryder some Hot Wheel cars, which he absolutely loved. He literally played with them on the floor for hours. Daddy was showing him how to drive them all around and was making car noises. By the end of the night, Ryder had learned how to make the “vrroooommm” noise, so that was our entertainment. We were all amazed that he picked up on that and he was getting into making the noise for his cars. He’s definitely all boy!! At the very end of this video you can hear him do it:
And now it’s time for bed. Everyone is fast asleep, and I’m about to join them. We’ve got a busy day tomorrow, I’m sure it will be filled with lots more fun and excitement.
**Merry Christmas Eve**
