snow day

Last Thursday Alan came home from work mid-morning so he and Ryne could play in the snow before Ryne went to school (most of it on the ground would melt before the afternoon). I caught a few shots of snowballs, a snow angel and minnie mouse.

christmas 2010

Christmas was so much fun. Emma Kate told everyone, "Merry Missmas" and Ryne enjoyed helping his grandmummer organize the "cresents" (he made Christmas presents one word) around the tree. We were visited by friends, bearing gifts and goodies on Christmas Eve. Later that evening we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. Mom, Emma Kate and I spent the latter half of the service out in the foyer/halls with all the other mommies and toddlers (having trouble sitting still). Alan, Ryne and I stayed up VERY LATE putting together a little kitchen for a sweet little sister, who squealed when she first saw it. Needless to say, Ryne didn't want to get up the next morning, but when he did he was super stoked to see Santa had brought him the school bus he had asked for. ALL. SEASON. LONG. We enjoyed a peaceful morning leisurely opening gifts, enjoying pancakes made by grandmummer and watching the snow flurries outside.




Ryne gets his first non-diet coke, from a super sweet neighbor... which he thoroughly enjoyed.















Hope yours was merry too. :)

the zoo in december

Stacy called me Monday with a CRAZY idea, "let's take the kids to the zoo". The zoo in December... why not? There was baking to be done and a few gifts left to be wrapped, but all that could wait. We needed a break from being "shut-ins". As it turns out the weather was actually nice that day (in the upper 50's). There was hardly anyone at the zoo (they were all at McWane). It was great!
