Late Christmas Post

I figure I should update this thing again. Christmas was an absolute blast. We had lots of visitors and lots of family time that made it special. Ryan's brother and his family came to spend the holiday with us, as well as Ryan's mom. One of my closest friends from high school and her husband stayed one night on their way to California. All in all it was a super fun weekend. Filled with fondue, Settlers of Catan and feeding some ducks. Oh and the tree was so full of presents that we had to rearrange the furniture to accommodate for Christmas morning!

Rhys had a pretty good Christmas day! He didn't have a clue what was going on and ripped some paper a little bit. But he enjoyed all his presents (and still does). I think his favorite thing he got was the bag that Grandma Eileen's gift came in. He played with that bag all morning! I can't blame him, it was a really cute bag.

Here he is "opening" up one of his presentsRhys with all the presents he got! (including the pjs)

Rhys and Daddy after all the presents are open!

Just trying to read my new book (that I still love and don't like to put down)
Rhys had a blast watching his cousin Mylie play around our house. He loves her and was always seeing what she was doing. She was so good to him too. Always sharing toys and talking to him. It was really cute to see them interact. Rhys also got over his stranger anxiety for the weekend and let Grandma and his Aunt Angie hold him a lot. I was shocked but also very relieved that he now likes some of his relatives. He still needs to be a little better about being around other people. But it's a process we're learning.

A couple days before Christmas we went to the mall to get a picture with Santa. I figured Rhys would absolutely hate it, but he did pretty good. However, there were no smiles from the event. He was fine until Mylie got on Santa's lap with him. Neither one of them liked that experience.

That's pretty much all for now. I'll try to be better at this, but it's not on my priority list. I do have some blog post ideas, so we'll see if they make it on here! Until then...
