Christmas Fun at School

I'm so excited to go to school today...why? Because today is our Christmas party and concert! My first public performance! We have been working so hard to learn our songs. Here I am with my friend Charlie. Do you like our concert outfits?


This is Kiran and William. Don't they look handsome?

Federico and the girls

We're all dressed and ready to go! Watch out everyone, The Seedlings are the hottest new group of the year!

Before the concert could begin, we had a visit from Santa. This is about as close to him as I got and it took Mommy a loooooong time to convince me to get this close.

I told him that I wanted a castle and the thing you put the baby's on (a changing table) for Christmas.

Now, back to the show!

The Acorns class (2 year olds) joined us too.

We are little Guiding Stars!

Can you guess what song we are singing here?

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

(Mommy tried really hard to upload some video, but it just wasn't working. She'll keep trying)

Happy Holidays!!!

XOXO, Ryanne

The Best Little Christmas Tree Ever!

That's what we're looking for! Not a pink or purple one like the ones in Charlie Brown. A big beautiful green one and that's what we found!
I'm ready to go Daddy!

This year a new tradition started. Paul, Lauren, Sam and Caelyn are moving to Tennessee (that's who we always went Christmas tree hunting with). Now we are starting a new tradition with Uncle Pete, Aunt Katy and Lexi.

This is Lexi's first Christmas so I had to give her a few tips on finding the perfect Christmas tree.

Here's a nice one.

What do you think Daddy?Yep, that's the one!

Mommy let me take a picture of the Christmas tree and Daddy.

Then she helped me to take one.

I took this one all by myself!

Family portrait!

I don't know about you Lexi, but I had a great time!

Later that night, we decorated that Christmas tree.

I felt it was appropriate to dress like Snow White for such a special event.

This is my spot and I will hang all my ornaments right here!

Here' s some more of my photography. Isn't it a beautiful tree with the rainbow lights!?

I took this one of Papa,

and one of Mommy and Nana too.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season as much as we are!

XOXO, Ryanne

Happy Birthday to Me! It's Great to be 3...

especially when you get to celebrate for 3 days in a row! What a weekend it was! It all began with my family coming to my house on Saturday. They must really love me a lot because they brought me lots of cool presents! Thank you everyone!

How did everyone know I like Princesses!?

After dinner and presents, it was time for cake! My first ice cream cake!

Be careful Daddy.

yummy!

I think I really like this cake!

I don't want to miss a drop!

3 cheers for being 3!

This is my first self portrait.

Sunday was my birthday party.

I had a gymnastics party.

Hanging with Sam and Callie

Getting ready to stretch

Abbey was a good climber

Jonah on the tumbling trampoline.

I liked jumping on the trampoline too!

patiently waiting my turn to jump again.

here I go again!

Baby Lexi had fun but she was sad that she was too little to jump on the trampoline.

Time for pizza and snacks.

Cupcake time! I helped my Mommy make them.

Yummy chocolate!

I think everyone liked the cupcakes. Lily liked them.

So did Caelyn...

and Nathan.

I'm lucky to have such good friends who gave me nice gifts. I got this Princess Jasmine costume from Abbey and I loved it!

Me and my Daddy Monday was my actual birthday. First I had a party at school. When I got home, mommy and daddy took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner (Panera) and then I got even more presents from my mommy and daddy. I got a Dora puzzle and a cool bean bag chair!

I'm such a lucky girl. Thank you everyone for helping me to celebrate!

XOXO, Ryanne
