Christmas & New Year's

We had such a fun, busy, eventful first Christmas with Ryker! Christmas Eve my dad and I did our annual Christmas Eve shopping tradition for my mom. Later that night we went to my Grandma Gunthers for dinner and presents then to Mikes grandparents for more dinner and presents. When we got home we put Ryker to bed and put his gifts from Santa under the tree! It was so much fun! I didn't wrap them this year because I figured it would be the one and only year that I wouldn't have to. Christmas morning Mike and I got up at 7 to exchange gifts with each other. Rykers gift to us this year was sleeping in until 8:15! Yay! Then the fun began...off to my parents for Christmas breakfast and gifts, then to Mikes parents for more food and gifts, then to my Grandpa Bruces house for more fun then to Mikes grandparent Stringhams and the last and final stop is to my grandpa Dick and Dee's house. It was a go go day but I wouldnt have it any other way! Ryker was a little champ and was just happy to be there. We got a lot of fun things this year..Ryker got money, jumping johnny, saucer, clothes...and MORE clothes...he will be outfitted for a good while. Mike got a wakeboard, cologne, shoes, clothes and money and I got a Cricut, clothes perfume, money, shoes, and the best gift of all was having Ryker there to share this special time of year with!
>For New Years we headed to Mikes aunts house for food to start the night off then we headed down to Lehi to our friends Ben and Allison's house where we had games and lots more food and celebrated the New Year with them and some friends! The next morning we took off and headed to Bear Lake. My family had gone up the day before so they were waiting for us. The lake was frozen so we pulled a tube behind the wheelers on the lake, it was a blast! Mike even went on a tube with Ryker...and he loved it...loved it so much that he fell asleep! :) 2009 was a fabulous year, I have so much to be grateful for...and heres to another fabulous year...hope 2010 brings you lots of happiness and good cheeer!
