Ryan's Preschool Christmas Performance

Ryan's school held their annual Christmas Performance and it was absolutely adorable.  Here are some pictures of Ryan and his school friends during the performance:

 (L-R:  Adam, Emily, Ryan, Lilly, Ethan)

Ashton is in the red shirt.  I guess I didn't get any pictures of Ashton's twin sister Bella this time.

Ryan got embarrassed about everyone laughing (he was being so cute) so he was hiding his eyes

Zoo Lights!

Mommy, Jenna and Ryan went to the annual "Zoo Lights" event at the zoo.  It was tons of fun!  We met up with Addie, Brayden and their parents (Catherine & Randy) as well as Auntie Kim, Uncle Scott, Madison and Mackenzie!  The kids got to see Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas, and they got to look at all the lights and animals and enjoy Hot Chocolate.  It was cold...but lots of fun!!

This year the kids helped make ornaments to give out as Christmas presents.  They turned out super cute!

Ryan's Third Birthday Party!!

Ryan decided on a Firestation Party for his 3rd Birthday!  It was a BLAST!!

Cute cupcakes!

The Birthday Boy!

Some of our guests gathering in the fire station to hear instructions on what to do and where to go if the alarm sounds.

Sleeping quarters

We learned the difference between a fire truck (has a ladder) and a fire engine (no ladder)

The gear

Showing us what the gear looks like, and explaining that we shouldn't be afraid if someone dressed like this comes into our house during a fire

Checking out the truck

After the fire station, we headed across the street to Me-N-Eds for some pizza, cupcakes, ice cream and presents!!

I didn't get a picture of it (unfortunately) but the fire fighters stopped by the pizza place during Ryan's party.  The flashed their lights and flicked their siren a few times in the parking lot and then the captain came in to give Ryan this bike helmet.  HE WAS THRILLED!

He got new light up sketchers!

He was absolutely adorable when opening his gifts.  He kept saying "Is this for ME??"

Madison and Jenna thought it was funny to keep wrapping and re-wrapping cups from the restaurant.  Ryan was a good sport about it....but Mommy asked them to stop.

Cool new Lightning McQueen chair he got from Ashton and Bella.

Happy 3rd Birthday SWEET BOY!  We love you!!
