CHRISTMAS 2008

Ryker and his Garbage truck that he wanted...

Ryker loved his Buzz Light year sweat shirt.

Ryker was so excited to see his presents all in a pile.

We started Christmas morning not being able to find our video camera,Chace and I looked every where for it... we were so bugged that we wouldn't be able to video Ryker opening his gifts..So we videoed him on our camera instead...After everything was opened we found our video camera! LOL I knew that was going to happen we were just glad we found it..

My sister in law Nicole invited us out to her parents house to have some fun in the snow..Devan and Chace had fun taking turns eating snow behind the 4-wheeler on a sled!!!(it was funny to watch) we need to get a better sled for the kids so they can get pulled behind the wheeler to,but they still had fun just riding on the 4-wheeler. After all the fun and freezing we went inside for a bowl of yummy soup ....

Ryker is getting excited for Santa to come and bring him his GREEN GARBAGE TRUCK that he has been waiting for which seems to be a long time!!! but that's not all he wants if you ask him what he wants he says a Buzz,Jessie,Bullseye and (His lost Woody that we still can't find!!)
This year will be fun watching Ryker open his gifts, he is at a fun age where he gets all excited over little things....I'm sure he will love what ever Santa brings him.

I Just wanted to wish everyone a fun and safe Merry Christmas !!! love the Petersons

{ Let it SNOW, SNOW,SNOW }

Ryker insisted on riding his bike ....then got mad when it didn't work ...I tried to tell him..

It has SNOWED nonstop today!!! I was planning on going out today to a couple stores and I woke up to it snowing and it never stopped !!! I knew the snow was going to be so deep by the time Chace got home from work, so I thought I would go out and try to see if I could even get the 4 wheeler started and wah lah I did it !!! So today I plowed snow instead.... I did it for a while and noticed my neighbor Scott was out shoveling his driveway so I let him take over. It was fun while it lasted but men have more fun doing it . It's crazy though how much snow we have...

{ SNOW fun }

Ryker thought he was a BIG help

Ryker loves to get on the 4-wheeler with his dad to plow snow...We keep saying we need to go buy a sled to pull Ryker around I bet he would love it...

{ Colledge family Christmas party}

Ryker was fine talking to Santa as long as I was holding him ! He told him he wanted a green garbage truck and a new red guy(power ranger) because his broke.

Talking to Mrs Clause, he liked her to as long as I was holding him !!!

We had been talking to Ryker about this Christmas party and that Santa was going to be there and we asked him if he was going to sit on his lap and tell him what he wanted and he said yes! So we thought good this year he won't be scared of him ......well this was Ryker as soon as Santa walked into the room ringing his bells .......
