Ryan's late Christmas gifts.

These were opened on New Year's eve and not Christmas. We figured we'd hold back on some of his gifts a bit. too many at one time might overload the poor kid. He won't know which gift to use first.

Ahh, I remember when I was a kid and got soooo many gifts I didn't know what to do......NOT!

Lot's-o-food!

Believe me, there was a lot more than this! Lot's of seafood...Steve Pellowe's favourite!

We made enough to feed 4 times the number of people that were there. I'm not complaining though.

Happy new year folks!

I have to admit I lost this stare-down match. Better luck next time, I guess.

Merry Christmas Ryan!

From the Melo family back in the tdot....Merry Christmas to Ryan, the entire Melo and Pellowe family. We're looking forward to seeing all of you for new year's.

Love,

The Melos.

I added these pictures just the other day and thought to post this on Ryan's blog. This will be a good reference for Ryan when he's much older and reading through his online life history.

So Ryan.....if you look carefully...that person on the right with the dark hair is...believe it or not...your mom!

Well, it's soon going to be a year. A year since this image was taken. It will be interesting to see the latest Christmas pics of Ryan this year.

Ahem....this means get to work Lane.

Practicing.......

I thought I would dip into the Ryan archives a bit. Ryan looks much different now, especially since he got his new haircut.

He seems to be having quite a blast in this image. Is that a smile? Man, I'm good!

Man, the kid looks totally different. I liked the hippy look before, but this suits him just fine as well.
