1.) 1st xmas event - attend the annual Geneva Christmas Walk...CHECK!
It was a beautiful cold night, we saw the tree lighting, the band march down 3rd street and present the first candy cane of the season to the mayor(I know, only in Geneva :-), the live nativity at my church, the candy cane pull at grahams and of course a visit to Santa. My mom, Ry and I had a blast and it was a great way to kick off the Xmas season!
2.) the Polar Express Event - the following morning we boarded a bus at Sunset Racquetball Center to the North Pole! The community center in Geneva had set up at Peck Farms a whole event - a visit with Santa, a reading of the story with Mrs. Claus, a barn with real reindeer and a trip to santas toy shop to make a toy. Sadly it was a really rainy morning and Ry's personality was a little "rainy" as well - so while it was a really cute event - I hope we can do it again next year and enjoy it more!

3.) Another two new exciting xmas traditions in the Nguyen household:
one - an advent calendar, which Ryker has really enjoyed counting down each day!
two - George. A cute little elf from the North Pole that leaves notes for Ryker each morning. He will be staying with us until Christmas eve. So far he has....left Ry a coloring book, played with his trucks, sent santa emails and last night he watched one of Ry's movies and ate the last bag of popcorn - Ryker couldn't believe it! It has been really fun to have him here and I know Ryker is really enjoying it too!
4.) This weekend is the annual Kendall/Nguyen/O'Brien cookie baking which should be really fun and hopefully will generate alot of wonderful cookies for the holiday season.
So...to say the least the holiday season has started off with a bang and we hope that it will just continue to get better and better!
Happy Holidays!
The Nguyens (and George)
