Ryland was in a great mood today. He loves having family over!
Grandmothers are awesome! The extra set of hands is wonderful.
Ryland did not quite understand how to open the first gift, but he caught on quickly. He loved to rip the paper off.
We plan on reading Twas the Night Before Christmas every year on Christmas Eve. The book has beautiful illustrations. 
He loved the wrapping paper.
John Chris and I have been collecting Old World ornaments for the past several years and now Ryland has joined our collecting. He received a baby with a rubber ducky. He was very intrigued by the shiny object, but he wanted to put it in his mouth. 
A retro rocket! This is just the cutest toy. It has a few buttons that say things like "asteroid ahead" and "3 - 2 - 1 lift off". It even shakes a little and the back lights up when it lifts off. 
Ryland can't quite push the rocket yet, so John Chris pushed him around. It is too funny because he practically lays down on his stomach, and it reminds me of a motorcycle rider. 
Thanks for the cool new toy. Grandparents rock!
