Christmas

I hardly took any pictures at Christmas.  I failed miserably. Erin had fun. It was nice spending time with family and we made it through five Christmases in two days.  Christmas Eve Day we went to Ryan's Mom's House for dinner. After dinner we went to my Mom's house for snacks.  Christmas morning we woke up opened Santa gifts and Mommy and Daddy gifts for Erin. We went to Church at 11am.  After church, we went to Ryan's Dad's house.  After dinner, we went to my Dad's house.  You couldn't tell Erin didn't nap at all in two days and she had such a good time with everyone.

Craft Day 2010

We had our annual Craft Day the weekend before Christmas. Ryan's sisters and my sisters joined Erin and I for a day of crafting.  We made lots of goodies to give as gifts and Erin had a lot of fun too. She had a good time playing with Sissy, KK, Auntie A and Mar. 

Playing in the Snow!

A few weekends ago, we all went outside to play in the freshly fallen snow.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Erin was a big help decorating the Christmas tree this year. She really liked all the ornaments and could hang them on the branches.

Yea!

Snowball Fight!

Erin loves to go outside and play in the snow.  I have actually found her outside with no shoes on when I left her unattended for a few minutes (doing laundry or upstairs or something not Home ALONE!)  She loves to make show balls (or make other people make her snowballs because she isn't very good at it yet.)

Watch out Dad!

Mom I don't know why you want me to wear gloves! It is way easier to collect snow and pack it into a ball without them!

Watch out Craig!

Cutting Down Our Christmas Tree

A few weeks ago, we made our annual trek down to Hensler's Nursery to pick out our Riesenberg Family Christmas Tree!  Two cars, four dogs, eight people, two trees later, we found our tree and had fun in the snow.
Erin Not So Sure About Mrs. Clause

Kramer really liked the animals and tried to get in their pens with them (and was successful with the horses. I however couldn't get a picture of it because I was too busy trying to get him out before he got stomped on.)

Erin even sat on Santa's lap this year and No TEARS!  Just a terrified look. A step in the right direction!
