Annual Bass Pro Shops Visit

Since my nephews were little, (they're now 6 and 7) we've taken a family trip to Bass Pro Shops in Rancho Cucamonga to take photos with Santa. It's pretty fun to look back at the photos, year after year, and see how much everyone's grown and changed! Unfortunately, last year my mama didn't get to join us because she was in the middle of chemotherapy, but this year....we made up for lost time and cherished every second of being together! 

Ryder J thought he was on the naughty list until Santa explained he's been VERY good this year! 

Cousin Noah and Ryder were both worried apparently...

Ryder J was fine when mama held him. 

Bass Pro shops is a pretty cool place to visit in general but during the holidays, it's super cool! They even have a carousel that Ryder was all about (even though you can't tell from these photos). He was waving to everyone like he was in a parade. 

Family photo op - missing my better half and my brother-in-law, John; they were both working.

Love this pic of Ryder with his cousins looking at the aquarium! 

I love these two SO much! What a year of conquering it has been for both of them!
