Merry Christmas

Our family would like to wish every one of our friends, family, and blog readers a very Merry Christmas. We have just finished up with an amazing Christmas Eve dinner and are about to head to bed so Santa can come! First though I must share with you our picture we got today of Ryder with Santa. Ryder had seen Santa numerous times before today at the Santa breakfast, at the mall walking by, and Larry's P.X. Christmas party, but we hadn't really gotten an official photo. Nothing like getting it done at the last minute!!! I wanted Derrik to be there and today was just the first chance we had. Ryder was thrilled over Santa while I held him, but got a little nervous once I put him on the big guys lap. We still got a smile out of him for a photo.

(Sorry for the photo quality of all these photos... they are all off my phone)
