Rylee's first Christmas...

Lots of pictures to share with you! Rylee truly enjoyed her first Christmas! and so did we! We celebrated Cmas Eve with Grandma and Grandpa Reedyk. We had all the family over, ate dinner, sang songs, and read the bible story of baby jesus before we opened gifts. Rylee sat on the floor as we sang Christmas songs and she was just soo happy. She always perks up around music. She did great opening up her own gifts but she tried to eat every single piece of paper and bow. She got a book from her Great Aunt Becky that teaches about shapes and she wouldn't put it down, she loved 'eating' it! :) She got soo many cute things, clothes, toys, pj's, and a savings bond from Grandma and Grandpa. She will really enjoy that as she gets older!
Rylee was very tired by the end of the night and so we didn't make it to church for the candlelight service. I was hoping to go but didn't have the energy to stay up any longer!
The next morning, Cmas morning, we went to Mimi's and G's for Cmas and for lunch/dinner. Mimi and G worked very hard to get their new kitchen done. They have been busy remodeling and it was sooo nice to have the open room and nice new kitchen! Rylee was spoiled with presents and one to open over and over again. She really got overwhelmed with it all but her favorite toy was from her Aunt JoJo which is a learning puppy who talks and sings. She really loves it! She also got a toy from Mimi and G that looks like drums and makes music, it can also convert to a rolling toy when she crawls and that seems to be another favorite toy of hers.... She also got a sweet musical bear from her Gma and Gpa Reedyk that she enjoys too! Momma's favorite was all the cool new clothes she got!!! Rylee was starting to out grow that mighty closet of clothes she had, so it's fun to have new stuff!! Rylee's grandparents sure did a great job with the clothes!!
Rylee got her momma a heart mom necklace. Daddy took her shopping and Rylee choose one of two necklaces that he had picked out. She immediately grabbed the one he bought and she still pulls on it now :) Everytime I hold her, she instantly she's my necklace! I've also noticed her grabbing at my wedding ring.... She's learning early that diamonds are a girl's best friend :) hehe
Rylee got her daddy a camcorder and some DVDs.... so we finally (after 6.5months) can start taping our baby girl! Gpa Reedyk has been taking care of that for us thus far. I will have to get him to give us a copy of everything!! He has been really good about pulling it out every so often and getting cute clips of Rylee's milestones!
We got Rylee a pair of personalized PJ's with a bum flap that has her name on it, Of course I did this for selfish reasons as I am going to do a photoshoot with them!! hehe, but they are soo cute!!!
A special thank you to everyone for everything!!!!!!!!! Rylee's first Cmas was sooo great!!
