Christmas in Texas

This year we spent Christmas at home in Texas with the company of my mom and step dad! It was a perfect Christmas! We went to the Saltgrass steakhouse for a Christmas Eve steak dinner and then we made a Christmas roast for Christmas Day! This year was so magical for Ryker! He kept talking about Santa flying to come see him and we even baked him sugar cookies that evening and put them out with a glass of milk and fresh carrot sticks for the reindeer! Unfortunately late that night Ryk developed croup and we ended up spending Christmas night in the emergency room getting him a breathing treatment! 

Ho ho ho

Ryker was so excited to meet santa this year! We talked about it to him several times because we really didn't want him to freak out! He was so excited to meet him and he got so shy around him! We are thrilled that he actually smiled and waited for his picture to be taken! We were making bets that he would immediately want down from his lap!

Ryk loved watching the trains while we waited to meet santa 

And then we enjoyed the carousel rides after 

Oh Christmas Tree

This year ryk was so excited to put up our Christmas tree! He loved helping hang the ornaments and he loves the lights! If they aren't plugged in he will help himself and just plug them in for us! He also loves looking at all the lights on people's houses when we drive around at night.. He always says to me "look! More lights!" It's so cute! This I think will be our funnest Christmas with him! He understands who santa is and what presents are so we are excited! And of coarse this year is Landons first Christmas!
