Wrapping up a GREAT 2 weeks!

It has been a terrific two weeks. It all started with a visit to Griffith. We spent three nights visiting. Ryan made a new friend (Cha Cha). Grandma and the three of us stopped by the Lake County Visitor's Center to check out the 'The Christmas Story' exhibit. It was the same exhibit that was at Macy's in NYC last year. My favorite scene was the leg lamp scene. Ryan LOVED the opening scene when the boys were looking in the window, and of course there were two trains running.

Jen and I are sure gland he stopped talking about Cha Cha once we got back home. That is the last thing we need/want right now is a dog.

We stopped by Busia's on the way home. It was nice to see everyone there! Busia and Stan got Ryan some awesome dinosaur pj's. He loves them! He has worn them every night since he opened them up.

Yes, Santa came to visit us! He was sure nice to wrap all of Ryan's presents in 'CARS' wrapping paper. Ryan unwrapped ALL of the presents. When he unwrapped mine and Jen's he gave us the box and then looked something else to unwrap.

We then went down to Ferdinand to visit Grandma Weyer and Pops. Uncle Keith, Aunt JJ, and Uncle Tom were there for two nights with us. While there Ryan enjoyed playing with Ashley (Jen's cousin who is in 7th grade).

After coming home we have hung out and played with new toys (way too many). We also completed some tasks around the house: Made a Ginger Bread house, built cabenits for the play room, painted the baby's room (chocolate), with help from pops (Jen's Dad), and did a whole bunch of cleaning out! Now it is back to school for all.
