My mom and dad came out for a few days so we were able to have a second christmas with them. maryryan is obsessed with her new baby. she brings it everywhere!

christmas 2010

count down

MaryRyan is patiently awaiting the days until santa arrives. there are only a few presents under the christmas tree but she asks every morning if it's time yet. and from the boxes and boxes of gifts for her that continue to arrive i can only imagine her reaction on christmas morning. i can't wait!

we spent the weekend getting ready and christmas partying. we are so lucky to have such great friends out here!

hair

MaryRyan got her second haircut on Saturday. All of a sudden it's growing like a weed. 'We' (meaning me) are growing her bangs out. I've been getting some slack b/c for a few weeks she's been blinded b/c it's been in her eyes but I think we are over the hump. And she now enjoys (gives in to) wearing bows. The price of beauty!

nana, papa and santa!!

nana and papa came out for a visit last weekend. it was so fun to have them out around the holidays. they helped us put up and decorate or christmas tree and they also went with us when we took maryryan to see santa!! this was her first visit to santa. she was a little unsure about the whole deal at first so we didn't think we would make it to his lap. but after seeing that santa was giving all the boys and girls STICKERS!!! she decided she wanted to get in line. she was soooo cute waiting in line. i really thought she was going to go for it. but as soon as santa reached for her she flipped..hence the picture. she did give santa a high five after he put her down and gave her stickers so i think it was worth it for her.

thanks again for coming to visit. maryryan loves her nana and papa!!
