Christmas at the Ritters

"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.


It all changed in a blink of an eye when it was time to open gifts.




We had a wonderful Christmas. Little Jack (not pictured above) was sick, but was a great sport by opening his presents and flashing that brilliant smile once in a while. Brooke was her usual darling self, so happy for Christmas Eve to have finally arrived. Scotty was wide-eyed and excited on his first Christmas. He caught on to ripping open wrapping paper pretty quickly. It was great to have Geoff home for a couple of weeks and for Megan and Ty to spend so much time at our home. We felt lucky to have Stephen for our Christmas Eve feast knowing that he was working both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We also were so grateful to have Lyndsy and kids all afternoon and evening on Christmas Eve. They headed to Washington on Christmas afternoon. Amy is growing up so fast, but she still was very excited about Christmas and all of the surrounding traditions. Thanks family for a fabulous Christmas, especially to Scott who truly is the leader and anchor of this family.

Christmas at your house is the best. You have fun traditions and your family is really great to hang out with. I am so happy I live close again!
