Christmas Eve

Unfortunately Ryan had to work today. Zac and I hung out and played together. He has been quite the chatterbox lately! It's so amusing just to listen to him "talk." I'm sure he knows exactly what he's saying. Ryan didn't get home until about 2:30pm. He changed real quick and we were off to Aunt Becky's house for dinner. Dinner was at 3, but we didn't arrive until almost 4pm. Oh well. It was quite the crowd: aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas, grandpas, cousins. We enjoyed yummy food, especially Aunt Charlotte's infamous sugar cookies! We opened presents and had a visit from Santa Claus! (Uncle Bud). Once again, Zac stared in awe. I'm not sure if it's the beard or the whole red outfit or what. Next stop was Aunt Rhonda's. Last year we enjoyed Mexican food, this year Zarda BBQ filled our tummies. It's nice to have a break from the traditional ham dinner. Afterwards we played Christmas Bingo. I was the first to win, I ended up with a hot chocolate mug set and Ryan was one of the last to win, with a Wal-Mart giftcard. That will definitely come in handy! While Ryan and I played Bingo, Grandma Beth kept Zac entertained in the kids' room. It was a busy, but very fun night with good food and spending time with family.
