Still more...

Still a few more Christmas morning from Todd's phone:

More, more, more....

Just downloaded some pictures from Todd's phone.

Here is Ryan working feverishly on Christmas Eve on Santa's thank you card. And here the boys are the moment they woke up and found that Santa had come during the night (excuse the underwear shot)! Santa also left the boys litle notes to thank them for the cookies and carrots and to remind them that he is watching ALL year long! :-)

Las Vegas fun

We enjoyed our brief stay in Las Vegas by visiting NY, NY, the Excalibur and a quick trip to Egypt (Luxor). The kids really thought we visited Egypt. hehe We also got to ride two 4D rides, the Polar Express and Spongebob. The boys enjoyed them as well as a trip to the M&M store and some fun time in the Excalibur arcade!

Las Vegas Bowl Game

So, we all headed up to Las Vegas to watch OSU play BYU in the Maaco Bowl - Dec 22. What an awful, miserable game that turned out to be. The day of the game, they forecasted rain and high wind gusts. Luckily we avoided the rain, but the temperature and wind was enough to drive most of the Beaver fans out of the stadium by half-time (along w/a miserable game).

• 500 piece lego set - Pirate Ship
• Wii Indiana Jones II game

Jack:

• Nintendo DSi

Grandpa also did a good job selecting for the boys - with 2 Star Wars sets, new games, Batman cars, and Spongebob scented coloring pages

Aunt Lori sent the perfect gifts - a box FULL of lego people for Ryan...exactly what he loves and Mario Kart for the DS for Jack!

They each gave each other lego sets as well. It was an all out lego year!

They also got socks, underwear,books and a new game from Mom and Dad. All in all a great haul - they are very lucky boys! :-)
