Post Christmas Blues

DR went home yesterday and we are already missing him. Christmas was so much fun with Ryan's brother here visiting. Here are some pictures that were taken the last night of his visit. They didn't really enjoy the "photo shoot" (I got a couple comments such as "you are worse than mom"), but I caught a few genuine moments.
