Merry Christmas

Jason, Bailey, and I are heading up to Vermont for Christmas on Christmas Eve. In order to get everything home from Grandma's, I have a feeling we'll need more suitcases coming back than we have going.

We celebrated Christmas in Houston this weekend. Bailey got a new Play House from Mommy and Daddy (picture below). She was so very excited. We put it upstairs in our game room. She saw it the minute she woke up. Needless to say, we had a hard time getting her to come downstairs to open any other gifts. Once she did, though, she wracked up. She gots Blue's Clue's DVDs, books, Ariel crocks, a princess purse, an Elmo laptop, a diaper bag for her baby doll, PJs, clothes, etc, etc. I know I am leaving tons of gifts out and if you gave her something that got left out, I apologize. Everyone is so good to her and Jason and I really appreciate that. She loves everything she got and cannot figure out what to play with first.

I will have more to write when we get back from Vermont. The real reason for this post is to wish each and everyone of you a very, very Merry Christmas. May we always remember the real reason for this season....

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV)

Finally - Baby Kyle

Kathy came into town December 8th and we finally got the chance to meet Baby Kyle. He is about 2 1/2 months old and cute as could be. He's a little angel and we are so enjoying getting to know the newest Ritchie. Bailey helped feed him and hold him last night at a Christmas celebration we had at the Griffin's house. She is so proud of herself. She cannot stop talking about it.

Here's a few pictures to enjoy!
