Today just about tuckered this gal out. Rich has been gone the last three nights at work and Improv, so I've been burning the candle at both ends (& shamelessly bumming free childcare off my family when it gets to be too much). This morning Ry and I started out by heading off to preschool, and then...
 |
| He begged to hit up Macy's again...so what else could I do? The boy loves to shop. |
Just kidding. But we really did go to Macy's and a few other stores so we could get some birthday and Christmas gifts...because tonight was my brother Jon's 40th birthday! Well, technically it's not until a few days before Christmas, but because Mika and the boys are always in Japan at that time, we celebrate both his birthday and Christmas early every year before they leave.
 |
| We gave Jon the snazzy gift in the Cars gift bag. Clearly not a re-gifted gift bag. Nope! |
As soon as we got home from shopping, I was busy wrapping gifts, slicing up fruit for a platter and making Jon's birthday cake...a Christmas tree!
 |
| Since 40-year old's have a reduced lung capacity and tend to get out of breath easily, he had a few helpers. |
After Jon's birthday, we smoothly transitioned right into Christmas! Rich had to run to Improv class, so Ryan got to open his gift from Aunty Kathy & his cousins first so that daddy could watch him open it (& assemble it...since mama don't go there).
 |
| At this moment, he has just been told he is being given his own refrigerator...he is thrilled! |
 |
| And at this moment, I think he realized (like his parents) that he's not wearing any pants...again. ;-) |
 |
| The exact moment when we opened the box and he realized it was not a refrigerator... Seriously, the kid was so happy to get his own refrigerator I think the car was almost a let down! |
 |
| Cliche, but oh so true- they loved the box more than the car! |
 |
| What's up ladies? Wanna take a ride with Ry Money? I got some juice boxes and goldfish crackers in the trunk! |
So it's 10pm, and I'm officially all tuckered out. Not everyone celebrates a birthday and Christmas on the same night...just us and Jesus. ;-)
