It was hard to get a picture of his face, but Ryan had a great time today in the Atlanta Snow! After a big birthday party, we came home in the snow and played with our neighbors! Ryan loves playing with the "big boys" and while he wasn't too interested in snow in Cleveland, he loved running after Ethan and Andrew today! They made a snowman, filled a dump truck with snow, and ran around with the dog. All this, and Ryan still didn't take a nap!!!
Ryan and I went to Cleveland over the weekend. We drove by the house I grew up in! Isn't it pretty?
Ryan LOVED Poppo's trains. When we went back upstairs, he kept saying "watch trains...Poppo's trains..." In fact, the first night, he screamed and wouldn't go to bed for an hour because he wanted to go back down and see Poppo's trains. Then right when Ryan woke up, the first thing he asked for was "Poppo's trains."
Ryan got his first "snow experience." He would go to all of the windows and said "snow" over and over.
Ryan did great on the plane...I think because I got him his own seat!
For Eric's birthday, I threw him a party. Ryan had a little to eat and then went to bed. Magically, he stayed asleep while we had a party downstairs! We checked on him often, but he never made a peep!
Eric's Augusta friends came in to help celebrate! They made a surprise visit!
We have one cabinet reserved for Ryan that is not babyproofed. This is where we have some non-breakable items, including some of Ryan's cups. When Ryan wants something to drink, he brings us a cup and asks for a drink! One day, he thought he'd make sure he saw each and every dark corner of the cabinet. You can see the result!
Abigail, Ryan and Graham enjoyed a lovely bath together...
Charlie's Birthday was December 26th. He turned 5! What a milestone! We love him so much! Here Charlie enjoys his "Frosty Paws" treat. 
Next I presented Charlie with a special bone. He loves his rawhide bones!!!
The cousins enjoyed playing in the playhouse together!
But not as much as Ethan and Ryan enjoyed playing with the trains...
Aunt Jody "high 5's" Ryan after he goes down his slide. Ryan loves to share his play room with friends and family!
This year for Chanukah, Ryan had a lot of family in town! His Nanna and Poppo were here along with Grandma and Grandpa. And Aunt Jody, Uncle David and cousins Noa and Ethan. (I will put more pictures below since it would not allow me to put enough pictures on here!) Luckily at the end of Feb, we will be home to see Uncle Brian and Auntie Laura!!! Ryan got spoiled with presents, and learned the word "open" as in "open" the present.
