Christmas

This year was all about the Bayer family for Christmas.  We hosted Christmas Eve dinner at our house with Eddy's immediate family.  Eddy's parents and Dana spent the night, and they had Christmas morning with us before Eddy had to go to work.  Luckily his work day wasn't too long, so we were able to drive down to San Mateo to spend the evening with Eddy's extended family at Auntie Judy and Uncle Joe's house.  A great few days spent with family, which is the best way to do it this time of year!  Ryan LOVED all the gifts this year.  Every morning in the week before Christmas, Ryan would wake up and ask "Santa bring presents?".  And then on Christmas Eve he learned to declare "Santa brings presents.  Ryan a good boy", just to make sure Santa had Ryan on the correct list that night.  In fact, he's still telling us that he's a good boy.  Not sure if he thinks Santa is coming every week now or what, but he doesn't seem to be upset when I tell him we won't see Santa again until next year.    Funny, since Santa is about the only thing this boy is afraid of.

not sure that driver's seat is big enough for 2

Ryan was in heaven with Uncle Joe's train track.  Don't think he left that spot all night
