Christmas - New Years Re-cap...

Once again, a while since I have posted. Have a new set up for our office, so hopefully that will in turn, enable me to post more often. :)

Here is recap of our 2009 holiday. For some reason, I guess with all the running around, all the pictures are with my pocket camera. Most are fuzzy or dim, but we at least have some, right?!

Hope everyone had a wonderful warm holiday, and the new year is starting off with joy!



Nina and Harry before Mass. Andy took these quickly before we walked out the door.

Getting ready for Santa.

You think they were excited?

The next morning. Santa left a note, and lost another bell off his sleigh outside! On the tree it went. Most of the photography Christmas day was in the video form, so not much to show of the excitement.

Moving forward to New Years. My brother, aka Uncle Jeffie and his wife aka Aunt Annie were here for a nice long visit!

This is my parents, aka Mema & Papa's first Christmas in their new house. I think we all broke it in quite well. Nina here was happy as could be that Annie, then Uncle Jeffie played with her Poly Pockets with her.

I don't think Nina could get any more color or patterns together in one outfit!

Uncle Jeffie's turn.

Our annual New Years dinner together at Tosi's. What a wonderful night. The kids both loved the 'fancy dinner'. The boys all were dressed the same with white oxfords and black suit coats. Nina was the talk of the place. She wore her little sparkle crown and her glittery tutu and as she put it 'her fanciest jewelry'. She picked it all out and melted every ones hearts. :) Wish I had a better picture of my two babies that night, guess we'll have to do it all again!

In this picture you can see her tutu a little better.

New Years Day. Off to the ice-skating rink!

Although the kids did better this year than the past, they both have a long way to go with their skating ability. :)

Our last night with my brother and Annie. My brother made an amazing meal.

Off to Gma & Gpa Lewis' house for Christmas celebration.

The activity that was the theme of our Christmas...Harry sword fighting, or should I say, beating everyone on the Wii. (that was our big present for the kids this year, funny enough, when they opened it, they really weren't all that excited, which surprised Andy and myself...but I think they just didn't realize how much fun they were about to have!)

Our neighbor Ed across the street and his wife brought this over for the kids. They loved every inch of it, so did daddy!

Nina's field trip, and Daddy's first time getting to attend with his daughter! Snow shoeing at Sarett Nature Center.

That's daddy getting his snow shoes on. They both had a BLAST!

Jumping.

This is her favorite place to visit. Our little Nature lover.

Nina and her teacher.

There. Somewhat caught up for now. :)

...and a Happy Birthday to my wonderful Big Brother! A sister could not ask for one better!

I love you Big Bro!
