Christmas Eve 2009
Josh and I went the morning of Christmas Eve to see A Christmas Carol in 3D.
We loved it!!

Clint and Josh
That night we went to my parents and enjoyed some yummy food, opened some gifts from my parents, and went to see the lights.

We opened our traditional gifts that were pj's.
Alec was obsessed with my slippers

My parents got some fun new tunnels for the grandkids. My boys loved it!


So did Aunt Stacie, yes this is her and Alec stuck in the tunnel

The girls in our new matching pj's

Our family

Ethan got a new Bakogun set!

Alec got a digger that he could ride on!
Rasmussen Family Christmas Party
My brothers and their families couldn't come for Christmas Eve this year so we had a party the Monday before Christmas.

Ethan doing what he does best-
Playing on the computer and being non social. :)

Alec doing what he does best-
being crazy and climbing in all of the presents! :)

Yummy food!


SANTA!!
We were able to have Santa come to Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen's house!
The kids loved it!
Alec was hesitant at first but once Santa called his name and said he had a present for him, he was all over that!


All of the adults got to sit on Santa's lap too!




This is Josh explaining to Santa why I shouldn't get what I asked Santa for for Christmas!
(A baby) :)

San Diego Family Vacation
My parents took us a week before Christmas to California for our Christmas present. We had so much fun! We went with my sisters too! I've never seen my boys so happy!
Thanks mom and dad!!


We drove down to Vegas and stayed our first night there. The boys were awesome on the car ride down. They just slept and watched movies! Thanks Stacie for hooking us up with the hotel and breakfast!!



Waiting for our cars to go to dinner

The M&M Factory

They had a cool 3D video

Grandma and Grandpa surprised the boys with Mickey Mouse sweatshirts!

We stayed at the Lawrence Welks Resort in Escondido California. The weather was amazing in the 70's. It got up to 80 degrees the day we left to come home. Believe me we did not want to come home! It had several pools, water slides, hot tubs, clubhouses. We had our own 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom condo. It was awesome!

Ethan, Stacie, and Alec swimming the first day

Ethan was so excited that he was tall enough to ride the waterslide!

Josh and the boys enjoying the hot tub

Cute Alec all wrapped up in his towel

Josh coming down the waterslide


Ethan had to wear his goggles. That was the only way that he would go down. He couldn't get enough of it. He would scream like a girl the whole way down and love every minute of it.

San Diego Beach
It was cold, but beautiful!




We went to Anthony's and had our favorite fish and chips!


Ethan was obsessed with playing the Wii and X-box at the clubhouse.
Josh got in on the fun too!

Alec just chillin

DISNEYLAND!!
This was our boys first time there! They had so much fun! We were worried about bringing a 2 year old there but he LOVED it! We want to go back, our boys still talk about it all the time!
