Christmas 2012

Christmas is always such a special time.  It was extra special for us because if was the first one for us in Vancouver.  Ryan was super excited for Santa Claus to come.  He had written a letter to Santa to ask for some Lego and promised to be a good boy.  Ryan even received a personalized video message from Santa.

When Christmas finally arrived Ryan had to wait for his sister to wake up.  Madeline had decided to wake up for about three hours on Christmas eve and was very tired.  She wanted to sleep in – not Ryan!  All he wanted was to get up and see what Santa had brought him and open all of his gifts.  After some convincing Ryan said he would wait and decided to watch the movie Rudolph while he waited for his sister to wake up.
