Bringing In 2010

Well the end of 2009 was a whirwind of activities and travel! We ended up having 4 Christmases (nothing like the movie, though!) and the kiddos got very spoiled on each one!

Christmas #1: Our house with Nana and Papa
Last year my parents came down and we opened presents, had breakfast and then had prime rib dinner later on in the day, we did the same thing again this year and both times we had a lot of fun and a lot of yummy food. Who knows, maybe it will be a new tradition! KJ & Lainee got loads and loads of gifts and both had their favorites. KJ's: The Buzz Lightyear & Woody Interactive Action Figures and Lainee's: The wrapping paper!




Christmas #2: In Shelton at Chad's Uncle Bob's and Shelly's House
So much fun to spend time with family in Shelton. We don't get to see them very often, so it's really great to get together with everyone we visit! KJ had a lot of fun playing with cousins and again opening gifts. Lainee got lots of loves by relatives who told us how much she has grown in the last few months. We know she is growing fast but don't see the huge difference like those who don't see her everyday!

Christmas #3: In Shelton with Chad's Mom and Grandma
Once again a lot of spoiling and good times! We all got a lot of neat gifts and it's always fun to have those smaller, more intimate times with just immediate family. Chad's mom doesn't get to see the kids very often so it's really great to see and spend time with her when the opportunity arrives!

Christmas #4: In Leavenworth With My Side of the Family
So, back in September, Nicole and I planned a trip to Leavenworth for the whole family and it was SO MUCH fun!! It was so great to spend a few days with everyone in one place. We played lots of games, ate a lot of good food and did some shopping (and falling, on my part) in downtown Leavenworth. We also celebrated Christmas there with everyone. KJ loves seeings his aunts and uncles so he had a lot of fun (when he wasn't having melt-downs).

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a happy, healthy and safe 2010!!
