Phone Pictures!

I love my phone for many reasons but I have to say the main reason is the photos I capture on a day to day basis. Here a few things from the past week that I've captured with my phone..

The 3000 piece puzzle that is now well underway...

Christmas Hoopla!

We've been so busy with Christmas prep this year. All of the things of course have been lots of fun! Here are a few things we've done so far...

Decorated Christmas Cookies with Cousins...

Ate the decorated cookies...
Went to a family Christmas dinner...
Celebrated (grandma/great-grandma's) 95th Birthday
I'm leaving out several things but it's been hard to keep up! I'm so excited for Christmas morning to see the look on Ryan's face! Love this time of year and love how blessed I am in my life.

Happy Adoption Day!

One year ago today we finalized our adoption and Ryan "officially" became our son! It's such a special day and one we will continue to celebrate. This year, we surprised Ryan with his first remote control car. Needless to say, it was a hit! We are truly blessed to have this special little boy in our lives. I thank God for him everyday! Happy Adoption Day!!!! We love you very much!!!

Happy....

Adoption...
Day!!!!!

The Man in the Red Suit!

Yesterday Ryan saw him....you know, the man in the red suit! SANTA!!!! This was the most awesome Santa I've ever seen. I think it was actually the real Santa Claus! I was nervous Ryan would want nothing to do with him. Or that he would cling to me and not want to get near this man. Boy was I wrong! He walked right up to Santa, and said (quietly) "Hi Santa". I put Ryan on Santa's lap and I told Ryan to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas and Ryan said "a fire truck!" I was so proud of him because he is generally a very timid little boy but not when it comes to Santa apparently!!!! Notice how prim and proper he is sitting with his hands nicely folded....This kid always amazes me!!
