Pearce Party of Four:: Santa Baby

Merry Christmas everyone! We had such a wonderful time celebrating the holidays this year. We started off by celebrating early with my family in California. It was especially wonderful to see the little baby cousins meet all together for the first time. It is so great they are all so close in age. My parents threw a nice pasta holiday celebration while we were there. Thanks so much for your hospitality. We had a great time. We also got a chance to spend time with my Mom while we were visiting. Thanks Mom for the awesome Christmas lunch!

After we got back from California it was time to celebrate my birthday and Riley's first Christmas at home in Arizona. My birthday was the best. Ryan let me sleep in and we made Christmas ornaments with Riley. The weather was so nice...clear skies, 76 degrees...so we went on a nice walk around the neighborhood and checked out some Christmas lights. I also got a chance to make my first Christmas feast for Ryan. All of the food turned out great...I was impressed with my skills haha =) We let Riley open her first present on Christmas Eve. She loves her Bumbo chair but, I think her favorite gift of all was the wrapping paper...she kept trying to eat it! Christmas morning I made a big breakfast and we finished openign presents with Riley. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday.

Thanks to all our family and friends for the gifts and cards. We miss you all and hope you had a great Christmas!!!
