Christmas Day 2012

Christmas was truly a wonderful day! The magic of Christmas was felt with Ryan being so excited about everything this year. It was so fun to watch him open each gift and treasure each one...wanting to open it and play with it right away. He quickly learned how to hand out gifts and that we were supposed to watch each person open their gifts. Ryan had asked Santa for a trumpet this year. It was so fun to see him light up when he saw the trumpet. Here are the first few moments: 

The gifts :) 

Blowing in his new trumpet...please excuse my no make-up, just woken up mess ;) 

-love-

he did pretty well! :) 

And out little Ally girl enjoying her gift from Santa...she was way into the gifts too...so fun to see :) 


another musician in the making :) 
We then read Luke 2 together and opened stockings, and gifts together as a family. Such a sweet time.


Ryan also got a drum...he is very musical, and LOVED it! 

and...a guitar! :) 

trying it out. 

future musician ;) 

Ally playing with her new gift 

Grandma and Papa Ekk got him this awesome front loader...he especially likes to scoop up his cars and flip them with the scoop ;) 

trying to get a picture of them in their Christmas pj's 


This is how Ryan hugs Ally...pushes her down...we're trying to work on that one :) 

Love my little trumpet player

and little drummer boy :) 
In the afternoon we had so much family come over. It was the first time in years that my Dad, brothers and I had been together on Christmas. We also were so happy to have my Aunt and Uncle and cousin with us...it was perfect!

Nana giving Ally some love!

both Ryan and Ally got these awesome chairs from Nana and Pa 

Ryan formed a band with Uncle Chris and Jessica :) 

Grandpa K and Ally girl 

sweet cousin Rylan 

I wish I would've gotten more pics of all of us together...but I guess I was too busy with the food and my two kiddos. :) Overall, it was a wonderful Christmas and I was so happy to spend it with so many special people.
