Christmas 09

This Christmas was even more hectic than others as not only did we recently move, but Mike went on a business trip to Stockholm and London for a week in mid-December. Of course we were so excited for our first Christmas in our new house and found a way to fit everything in though. This was the first year that Ryan woke up in his own house in Christmas morning, a tradition we plan to continue. He was a pro at ripping wrapping paper and totally pushed the smaller gifts away in order to get to the big ones first! Santa brought Ryan MANY items including an easel, Thomas the Train track sets and trains, Thomas books and dvds, a Thomas ball crawl, many cars and trucks, puzzles, bath toys, a play house and more!

Penn State brought in the New Year in style by beating LSU in the Capital One Bowl, 19-17. This year is off to a fabulous start! A long 8 months until we get watch our Nittany Lions again though...
