This year we had a very enjoyable, low key Christmas.
On Christmas Eve we went to Bryan's parents house for Italian food and a white elephant gift exchange. Afterwards we headed over to our friends the Kastanis's to read Luke 2 and a really cool book that they read every year called Red Ranger Came Calling. This is the second year we've gone over there for Christmas Eve and we're grateful that they include us in their annual tradition.
Christmas morning we slept until around 9:00 when Bryan woke Ryan up and rounded up the rest of us. Ryan absolutely love his kitchen that we had set up the night before, and for about an hour and a half, we couldn't even get his interest enough to open any other gifts! We took our time opening the rest of the gifts, and Bryan made us a fantastic breakfast.
That afternoon we headed back to Bryan's parents for steak and crab legs, and to open the gifts from Grandma and Grandpa. Ryan got a really cool Little Tikes fire truck that we cannot keep him out of. That night we went back to the Kastanis' to exchange gifts and enjoy some more dessert.
All in all, it was a fantastic couple of days. Having Bryan home for 4 days made it even better. And of course our greatest gift this year, our sweet Annie, was the icing on the cake.

Cori! LOVE this Smilebox! It's such a unique program.
The absolute best picture of Ryan is when he's opening gifts at your house - he has this look of absolute shock - so cute!!! He takes some great great pictures. And I love that firetruck!
I love the Smilebox, so cute! I love your blog updates and seeing Ryan's smiling face and it is so cute when he scrunches up his shoulders and grins. Kills me! Sweet little Annie, so beautiful. So happy that you all are happy! :) Happy 2009!
I am so glad you guys had an awesome Christmas. It is so wonderful when you can have your honey home with you for a day or so before and some after. Makes it even more enjoyable!
