Opening Christmas presents

* This post may be boring for most people. The main reason is when grandparents ask what Ryder got for Christmas I an say 'go look at the blog post'*

When we finally got home from our trip, we realized that we had left Ryder's blanket in a hotel room. Ryder can not do anything with out that thing. You will always see in in pictures. It is a part of our family. To help with the process of going to sleep, we let him open 2 of his gift Santa had brought him.

A Lotso from Toy story 3!

 A real Woody!

The next morning Ryder went to work on opening those gifts! 

 Bolt!

 Ham from Toy Story!

 A lunch box! He carries all of his toys around in this all day long.

 This potato head has like 6 different potato heads inside him.

 Sully from Monsters Inc.

 A cars shirt.

 A new game.

 One of the trick or treaters  from A nightmare before Christmas.

 Another trick or treater from Nightmare before Christmas.

 Another shirt.

 Musical instruments. 

 A mini Buzz. He broke right when we took him out of the box.

 Ham from a Toy story.

 Slinky 

 A coloring book.

 Mini Lotso and Mini woody.

 Mike from Monsters Inc

 Kermit the frog.

 The Mayor from Nightmare before Christmas.

 Another trick or treater from Nightmare before Christmas.

 A book.

 Some candy

 A bath book.

 Another book.

 A coloring book.

 We brought Burton a sombrero back from Mexico. I think he looks great.

 Its like they were made for each other.

Ryder was spolied rotten this year. That's what he gets for being such a good boy. Maybe he will be a little naughty this year so Santa does not go bankrupt from having to give Ryder so many gifts.
P.S. The hotel sent us his blanket two weeks later!

Cruise day 6

12.29.2011

Castaway Cay - Disney's private island 

This was by far my favorite days. Too bad it was the last one on our fabulous cruise.

 This is the famous cat. He lives on the island. There are blogs dedicated to this guy.

 I decided to run the 5k race that was going on in the morning. It was a lovely way to see the island.

 I had my two biggest fans greeting me at the finish line. I also got a medal!

 I love Castaway Cay!

 This is Ryder and Daddy on the kids beach. They were going to go play in the water.

 I am not going to name any names.. but SOMEONE forgot my swimsuit on the boat. So I was stuck in my running clothes. 

 Someone also forgot to grab the towels that they hand out when you first get off the boat. So Ryder used Dads sweater as a towel.

 As we were walking back to the boat to grab my swim suit, We noticed a splash pad.

 Ryder had the whole thing to himself.

 They dressed the tram up like a reindeer for the holidays.

 This is the back of our boat.

 We love the Disney Magic! (that is our boats name ).

 Right before you get back on the boat, they have  the cutest displays.

 When we got back on the boat, Ryder had an appointment at the nursery. Chris and I  had the most amazing excursion set up back on the island. We had a stingray adventure. We first got to feed them .Then we got to snorkel with them. It was so romantic to be able to hold my husbands hand and snorkel with the stingrays

This was our last towel animal..

 The last night they have all the characters come out and say goodbye. We took a picture as we walked by because we were on our way to play a game show in Rockn Bar D.

So that was our cruise. Six days of bliss. So sad to see it go. But so many memories.
