Ryan had a great first Christmas! We hosted Christmas Eve dinner at our home for Nicholas' family. We had dinner, opened gifts and shared lots of good laughs. After these festivities ended, we loaded up and went to spend the rest of Christmas Eve with some great family friends as we do every year. Finally, we were able to attend the 11 pm candlelight service at Johnson Ferry Baptist as we have made tradition. We were unsure how this would work out this year, but Ryan didn't make a peep! He was on his best behavior for his very first church service. On Christmas Day, we woke up to see what Santa brought everyone, had breakfast and hung around our house before heading up to Rome to have Christmas with Mandy's family. Mandy's mom cooked a great dinner, and we exchanged gifts and shared more laughs.
Here are a few pictures from each celebration.

Santa even visited Maggie, too!
Mimi holding Ryan who is sporting his new Santa hat from Aunt Clelia and Uncle Eric.
Aunt Beth opening her first gift. We didn't take as many pictures on Christmas Day because Ryan was so fussy that we spent most of our time trying to keep him happy!
