Update: Big Playdate, Christmas

So I feel a little behind...o.k., way behind, but I hope to give you the full update of whats been going on around this busy house before the "busy culprit" wakes up from his nap.

The week before Christmas, this slightly nutty woman decided it would be the perfect time to host a play date. It had been a while since all of my friends with babies got together...in fact the last official play date was this one. Yikes! So I sent an email out to my pals, half expecting they would be busy with holiday happenings. Well...they weren't too busy for a play date. We had eleven mommy's and twelve babies (under the age of two) for brunch in our pj's. As crazy as that sounds, we had a lot of fun and the kids played great. Thanks to my friend Kara for taking some pictures since I was a little preoccupied!

Christmas came and went quickly. We spent our first Christmas eve and Christmas morning at our house this year. Christmas eve we opened a few presents including a matching set of red union suit pj's (sorry no pic!), and drove around looking at Christmas lights. The next morning Rylin woke up to presents from Santa and then we drove to my parents for our family Christmas with them and afternoon with my Dad's family. We returned on Monday, and Jordan's family came to our house for their Christmas. It was a lot of driving around, but we had a good time visiting with family. Here are some of the picture highlights from the holiday. All my pic's are posted on my Shutterfly site for anyone that wants to see more.

Rylin has had a blast playing with all his new toys. He LOVES his woody wagon and uses it as more of a jungle gym than a car.

I kept Attie one day this week and he got to play with Rylin's new toys too. We joked that it was Christmas all over again for him!
