Oh my goodness we have had a crazy weekend! I have to break it up into chunks though, as I took a load of pictures and don't want to overwhelm you all.
Friday we drove up to my mom's for our Christmas. We always celebrate Christmas early at her house, and I like that. It's not quite so overwhelming when we get to spread it out like that. We had a nice dinner on Friday, lasagna and salad instead of the normal ham or turkey. It was so very good. Kate and I sipped mimosas while mom cooked and Rhyse played, all the while chit-chatting and listening to Christmas music. It was utterly fantastic. We also celebrated Rhyse's third birthday on Saturday! I can't believe he's 3!!! Holy crap. I love that he can talk more now, and how I'm "Auntie Andree". It melts my heart.
I adore this picture of Kate and Rhyse.
I think this picture shows the chaos that was Rhyse's birthday the best.
Cake! Isn't it adorable?
Rhyse waiting not-so-patiently for his cake.
He's enjoying this far too much.
Even I joined in on the festivities.
