Week with Riley!

 

Riley was down for a whole week, and we had alot of fun with her! She spent the night one night and Ryder was just having a blast! He is still asking for baby Riley!.. I had to take her to build a bear to let her and Ryder pick out animals and they both had a blast! Riley's has a special sound when you squeeze the bears hand it is Ryders voice saying, "Wove you baby wiley" its PRECIOUS! and of course I took some super cute pictures!!

Getting Back into the Groove!

So YES I know its been almost a month since I posted ... I can't believe it, but it's been pretty busy around here with the holidays and all, and were finally getting back into the groove again.. This is what has been going on around here...

On Christmas Eve, we headed over to Meme and Pa's for a family dinner, and then we all went caroling on the school bus and looked at lights.. it was alot of fun and Ryder was in heaven. He did fall asleep about 30 minutes into it, but we all had a good time!.. Our Christmas "morning" started REALLY early, Ryder woke up SCREAMING at 1:30 and we couldn't get him to stop, after a good hour of trying to calm him down, we just decided to go ahead and let him open presents.. ( turned out he had an ear infection)

This was the night before, when we were setting everything up...

The train table turned out FABULOUS! My grandpa built the table and then Tanner and I made the top, it is EXACTLY what I wanted!

Eric and I always open our presents on Christmas Eve, and Eric had a VERY good Christmas if I do say so myself, ... my Christmas was HUGE and I'll have to do a post of that coming up soon!! :)

He about fell on the floor he couldn't BELIEVE he got a train table!

As you can see no more tears!

This was around 4am and he was getting tired and SO WERE WE!

We finally got back to sleep at 4am and quickly woke back up at 7:30 to head to the Grove Park Inn to have lunch with everyone! The Grove Park was alot of fun and we saw a ton of fabulous ginger bread houses, ice sculptures, and HUGE Christmas trees! The food was really good too, my favorite was a chicken pot pie

AND the best thing of all was Santa Claus was there! I thought Ryder would be really scared, but I think after getting all of those great presents he had a change of heart! He went right to Santa and told him all about his choo choo train that he gave him. He kept saying "kank you santa, kank you!" it was soo cute!

We weren't even out of the parking garage before Ryder was asleep.. although it did take a good 30 minutes to get OUT of the parking garage!! Thats a whole seperate story!
