the telschow family: Christmas at Home

(A shot of the tree the night before-not sure why the time stamp says 18th)

The Saturday before Christmas, we celebrated at home. Ryan was so excited when he saw all the presents under the tree. This is the first year that he really understood what presents are. As he opened his presents he said, "oh wow! this is great!" Even when Ryan opened a present that wasn't as exciting as the others, like the Curious George book, Ry said, "oooh, Curious George! Let's open another one...". Too funny! We decided to take our time, let them open each present and play with it. Then move on to the next. Ryan's favorite had to be the Geo-Trax train set. He's played it at Kyla's house and has always loved it. He also really liked the Shake and Go Speedway Crash-up thingy we got them; except it didn't go together as it was supposed to. We'll need to return it, but it will definitely be another one of his favorites. Devin's favorite I would say, was the basketball hoop. He loves balls! Easy now, we're talking about a cute little almost two year old, get your mind out of the gutter! Anyway, he had so much fun throwing the basketball in the hoop. And as he is with the football and any other variety of ball, he was really good and accurate!

Here are some pics from our morning:

(First, I just want to say "thank you!" to Jamie for lending us her camera, so we can capture the cute moments of this day...love ya girl!)
