Christmas!






Ryan's first Christmas. What a wonderful day it was for our little family. Ryan is standing in the brand new Detroit Tigers toy box that Daddy just put together for him. Oh boy!



By the time we got to Grandma Friend's house on Sunday Ryan was exhausted from opening all those presents!

More Christmas





Next it was on to Pete & Tricia's house to see more family. Ryan seemed to latch onto his cousin Andrew.

Christmas weekend






We had a very busy weekend before Christmas with a trip to the Grand Rapids area to see all the family. Four houses in 2 1/2 days - whoo hoo! What a great time we all had. Here's Ryan at Grandpa and Grandma Vredeveld's house meeting his new step-cousin Landon.

Gettin' ready for Christmas! (part 2)






I've been good all year - right Daddy? :-)

Party on!



Ryan enjoyed his first (and our 12th annual) Vredeveld Christmas party with our friends.

Ridin around in my automobile...



Check out Ryan getting a ride in his police car given to him by his cousin Logan. Before we know it he'll be tall enough to push himself around in it. That's Bailey on the left figuring out how long before he needs to run away!
