Christmas 2010-Long :)

I am a bit behind in the blogging dept! We have been so busy just enjoying the holiday season with family and friends! I cannot believe how fast Christmas came and went again! Every year I try to just relax and enjoy the time with family and before I know it, it is New years! This year was SO MUCH FUN with Jack! He obviously doesn't get the whole Santa thing this year but we attempted to still see Santa before Christmas. We stood in line for a while and Jack was SO excited when he saw Santa while we were in line! He was yelling "hi" and "ho,ho,ho!" I figured that it was going to go much better than I had thought! Boy was I wrong--apparently we only like Santa from afar :) So, needless to say we don't have any great Santa pictures for 2010--hopefully 2011 will be better :)
This Christmas Ryan's mom, Jim and his daughter Tracy were here visiting. It was so nice for Jack to spend time with his Grandma Becky and Grandpa Jim--I also think he liked Tracy a little :) We spent Christmas Eve Eve at our house opening presents with them. Jack quickly figured out how the present opening process went. He handed out all the presents and than went from person to person to help them open! It was really fun to see him get excited about his new gifts! On Christmas Eve Ryan, Jack and I headed to my parents for the night. We went to church with my family. I LOVE being home for Christmas and going to the church where I grew up. There are so many memories that come back when we are there! I am glad we are able to start these traditions with Jack. A cute quick story from Christmas eve mass--my little sister, Stephanie, sang O Holy Night right before mass. Jack watched her closely and was humming along. When she finished and the entire church was silent, Jack started clapping and saying YAYYY! He was SO proud of her--I seriously started to cry! Anyways, after church we headed back to my parents to have dinner and open presents! On Christmas morning we headed over to my Aunt Margurite's for Christmas with my extended family. Jack got a new HARLEY ;) he is in love with that thing! I am looking forward to spring so he can ride it OUTSIDE and not in the house :) Last but not least we headed over to Ryan's grandma's house on Christmas night to spend time with his family! We were busy but it was so nice to see everyone. At Christmas we are always reminded how truly blessed we are--Ryan, Jack and I are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends!
