Holidays are upon us

We got an early start on the holiday season this weekend. Matthew put up our outside Christmas lights Saturday morning and we have our stockings hung.

We traveled to Indepedence to see Matthew's family this weekend since we'll be spending Thanksgiving with mine and while there, Nana and Papo took Ryane by to see Santa at a local florist shop. She didn't mind watching Santa, but when it was her time to set on his lap, it wasn't happening!! Then, she didn't even want me holding her standing next to Santa as you can see in the picture.


On the drive home Sunday night, Ryane slept one hour of it, then was awake and ready to get out of her seat. Our way of distracting Ryane is usually to sing familiar songs to her. You can only sing the ABC's and Patty Cake so many times before you get tired of it, so we broke off onto Christmas carols. There were LOTS of words we didn't know, but I think we have time to brush up before Christmas arrives.

Here's a fun little video to help get you in the holiday spirit!
