Christmas in the Central Valley

Christmas this year was spent at my parent's house and with family in Fresno. We started the day with waking up and opening gifts with my parents. Tyler was a cook. He saw one toy and refused to open another gift until we bribed him enough and most of the time we just opened his gifts for him then he became interested after once he saw the new toy.
We next headed to Fresno for a wonderful formal lunch at my aunt and uncle's house. We had fun talking with everyone, but most of the time Ty refused to sit in his chair, so he crawled under the table and played with the dogs.
Next we headed to our other grandparents house to visit some more family and eat some more delicious food. We opened up more gifts. Santa must have thought Ty was a very good boy, because he was especially blessed with a lot of fun toys. It was a wonderful day and in the end the gifts were not what was so special on this day, but the time we spent with our family.

Christmas Snow Vacation.

Our family spent the first part of our Christmas vacation at Eric's parent's house. We had a relaxing and fun time. We ate great food and spent a day in the snow up at Big Trees.
A nice family let us borrow a saucer for Ty to ride around the parking lot. He loved it! We must get one of these!


Daddy and Ty look so cute and so cold.

On our way back to the car, Ty finally got into the snow mood and played in the snow.


We also met a very nice snowman.
