Charlie Sheen Starts Christmas Early With Denise Richards and Kids

And Denise's baby daughter makes five, as Sheen gets a jump start on the holidays with a family vacation

If Charlie Sheen is looking to break his cycle of shameful Christmas vacations, this would seem to be the way to do it.

The again-employed actor got a jump start on the holidays this week, tweeting a photo of himself with ex-wife Denise Richards, their daughters, Sam and Lola, and Denise's adopted daughter, Eloise.

"...all in the family—a Christmas.... to remember..! xo c," Sheen wrote.

And where is all this yuletide action taking place? Well, considering Richards is wearing a bikini under her tank top...

They must be somewhere sunny and on an ocean, because Sheen also posted a pic of the family wearing shorts and T-shirts yesterday on WhoSay.

"What's better than a modern family vacation!?! love spending winter break w/ @denise_richards & my kids!" he wrote—sometime before rising at dawn today to go fishing.

"6:30am Hemingway would be proud..." he wrote. "I think the great DiMaggio would be proud of me today. Hell... I'm proud of me today."

And we'll all be proud if the rest of Sheen's winter vacay remains perfectly uneventful.
