merry (and engaging) christmas

my family has great news – my brother is engaged! nichole is such a beautiful, smart, and funny girl. we are so lucky to have her as part of our family. nichole was a speaker at chris’s farewell over two and half years ago. i remember thinking how great of a couple they would make. i am so glad they found each other. they look so great together!


we had an amazing christmas this year. we are so lucky we got to spend time with our wonderful families. ryker made it so much fun – especially when it came to buying gifts. graham only let me buy two gifts for ryker: a little piano and a crawling ball. this turned out to be a good idea because everyone bought ryker so many toys. we are going to buy a toy chest this week for all the toys.




ryker loves to hang out with kids. the ladies who watch ryks at daycare let him look into the toddler room so he can see all the big kids. ryks laughs and can look at them all day. on christmas, my cousin’s son was playing with his iphone. ryker found it hilarious and starting laughing so hard (it was very similar to the youtube laughing baby video). ryks’ big belly was shaking and he had to stop several times to catch his breath. i have never enjoyed a sweeter moment in my life.




graham and i realized we have taken over 4000 photos of ryker. there are just so many moments we want to capture. here are some awesome pictures of ryker and our family. he is the happiest and funniest baby! he still has no interest in crawling but sure loves to stand and "walk" (we hold his hands while he lifts his legs).








ryker and his cousin kellen


ryker kept trying to eat kellen's sweater - like we don't feed ryker enough!














thank you to all of our family and friends. we appreciate all your love and support this year! happy new year everyone!
love,
the weddicks

How sweet Anne. Ryker is seriously a very, VERY handsome baby! Geddy has that musical table and loves it! I love all the pics of Ryker. I am sure we have about that many too. Isn't it funny how you constantly find yourself with the camera in your hand taking pics of them? I love the last family pic of the three of you - soooo wonderful! Glad you had such a merry christmas - and congratas to chris!
