HAPPY HOLIDAYS

We (Ryan) have been busy this past month shoveling snow like all Minnesotans have! We tried to kick off the Holiday season right with a wine party which got cancelled due to 18 inches of snow. We moved it to Sunday and changed it to a family friendly event. Ben had fun being included and running around.

The other week, we went to Ryan's Christmas party. The company rented out the Metropolitan Club at the new Twins stadium. We got a tour of the stadium as well which was fun.

Next celebration on the list started our whirlwind tour of Christmases! We headed to Ryan's family in WI for a nice weekend before Christmas weekend. Ben had a blast opening gifts.

What two year old wouldn't love a wooden horse to play on? Ben insisted Grandma G join in the fun. I have a picture of her on it but I think I would be in trouble if I posted it!

Christmas Eve was spent in Mankato. Ben had fun running around with his cousins and playing outside.

Lindsey thought she would give snowboarding a try in the backyard.


Christmas Day, we headed back home to see what Santa brought us before the Fox family came over. Santa was very good to Ben this year!

Ben got just what he asked for from Santa-- a choo-choo train!

Later that day, Santa realized he forgot a gift for Ben and hand delivered it! (Thanks Uncle Luke!)

Ben wasn't sure what to think of Santa in his house...

He did like the gift though!

Ben was really confused when Santa went upstairs to leave. We told him Santa had to go to the roof to leave with his reindeer. When he went upstairs for his nap, Ben decided he wanted to be friends with Santa and find him...he looked in every room and kept asking for him. It was pretty cute.
We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
