Ryan opened his fun presents and had his Uncle Steve and Uncle Trevor help him get it working. He also thanked AJ with a big hug!
After these festivities, we headed over to my Papa and Grandma Schmidt's where we had a lot more fun! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera!
We started off the days with a good breakfast!
We then got ready to open and had a great time!
Ryan helped Austin open all of his presents and loved opening his as well!
Justin also got exactly what he asked for! Can someone say spoiled!!!
We then loaded up and headed to Nana and Papa's house...(check tomorrow for the rest of the days events)
Austin had a great time too! He lasted for while in his stroller, but then had to get out and have some fun too!
All ready for Santa to come!!!
We had a pretty quiet day overall. We made him a special breakfast in the morning, attended church, then had some family over for dinner, cake and games. 
and Trevor for coming to celebrate Justin's birthday with us!!!
Justin had a great birthday, and loved all of the help he got from Ryan!
Happy Birthday Justin! We love you so much and are lucky to have such a loving, supportive, hard-working, and caring Daddy and Hubby in our lives! We are so grateful for all that you do for our family, and for how hard you work for us! We hope we can help make this next year a great one for you!
And Santa even happened to be there! They had The Grinch too, but Ryan didn't want to go anywhere near him.
then I hear, "Mommy, look at my boots!" He is such a stinker!!! He's been calling the stockings boots on and off all month and I keep correcting him, but I guess he really wanted me to see why they are "boots." I told him that the stockings are for treats from Santa and not for stinky feet, and he immediately removed them and put them back in place. He's such a funny little boy!
Craig came home from serving the Lord and the people of Paraguay! It was so fun to see him and welcome him home. Craig's sister Jessica was so funny!!! She couldn't stand still and was so annoyed that anyone would stand or walk in front of her. She needed a clear path from herself to where he would walk off of the escalator. Here she is when she first saw him!
Austin meeting cousin Craig for the first time!
I am so grateful for all of my cousins who are so diligently serving the Lord and for those who already have. The sacrifices they have made, as well as their families, are amazing! They are such examples to me of sacrifice and service, and Ryan already talks about going on a mission like his cousins. I love you guys!
