Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year! We got to have Angie, Kevin, Nora, and Margo here for a whole week! The boys absolutely loved having Nora stay at our house with us, especially Brayden. They are three months apart and play very well together. We did everything from go to the park, visit the museum and even play in the snow!

Nora got to be with us on Brayden's actual birthday (the 19th), so we celebrated at Chilis. I love this picture of everyone digging into the cake!

One highlight was my grandmother getting to have all of her great-grandkids together. What a keepsake picture this will be!

We made Christmas cookies for Santa while the guys played Rock Band.

Wednesday, we met at the Log Cabin to have Christmas with the Fuller family. Santa even visited!

Christmas Eve we celebrated at Scott's sisters (after a treacherous drive on the ice to Keller!) with tacky Christmas clothes. Fun!!

We got home on Christmas Eve and threw out our reindeer food

Christmas day, we woke up to a white Christmas! Unbelievable!

Nora's last night with us they slept in Brayden's new bed tent.

We feel incredibly blessed this Christmas season. We couldn't help but have the Head and Webb families on our hearts all weekend. Tim Head was killed on Christmas Eve in a car crash. He was an incredible person, and he is now rejoicing in heaven while his friends and family struggle to say goodbye. Be sure and thank God every single day for your family, friends and your health because we are only a mist that appears for a little while and then we vanish. Life is far too fragile. We'll continue to pray for Amy and Samantha as they bravely tackle the days ahead.
