Silly Eric

Another Christmas celebration...

Grammy and Papa got a turn celebrating Christmas with the boys.

Daddy got a super cool telescope as a combined gift from the Lange's and Riek's. :) Too cool.

Yes Ryan loves Batman, such a boy.

Playing in the snow

Trever and Trudy came over to play in the snow.

Trever brought a saucer sled so we all took some runs down the hill in our front yard.

I wanna play with my brother!!!

Christmas Day

Ryan kept telling us how all he wanted from Santa was drumset with two drums and a cymbal in the middle. Here is how we started our day Christmas morning.

Ryan was very helpful in handing out gifts.

We got a lot of snow Christmas Eve. We got a white Christmas this year.

Daddy I think your vegas sweatshirt fits me just right.

Christmas with the Lange Family

Our first of many Christmas celebrations was at Grammy and Papa's house with the Lange family

As expected, Eric found the paper and bags way more exciting than the actual gifts

Ryan got a really cool soccer shootout game that he and Daddy had a good time playing

Of course, Eric wanted to play as well

A picture with Santa

Our annual trip to see Santa

Yes, Eric has his tongue out - figures.

I love this Santa - he is so friendly and so real!

Vegas Trip!

FREEDOM!

My company Christmas party was in Vegas this year, so we begged Grandma and Grandpa Riek to watch the kids so Sean and I could escape for a few days.

We couldn't believe how cold it was in Vegas - and cloudy!  This was the view from our window

The Bellagio is hands-down my most favorite hotel to visit.  And it was all decked out for Christmas so it certainly did not disappoint :)

I should have had Sean stand next to this soldier to show how huge he was

They had huge candies hanging from the ceiling

There was a beautiful holiday display set up and most everything was made out of flowers

The reindeer are all made out of nuts - wish we had zoomed in so you could see it

This polar bear was HUGE - maybe 15 feet tall, and all made out of flowers - so cool!

And one picture from Caesar's Palace

We went back to the Bellagio at night so I could watch the fountains (again)
