Holidays 2009

Our Holidays were action packed from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Here's the long post of our festivities:

Cleaning up the house/yard before the holidays, Caleb is such a big helper.

Dan & Grace came for Thanksgiving and they got to meet McKenna. The boys played video games and we had a WONDERFUL dinner with lots of yummy food.

After Thanksgiving, the girls and Caleb went shopping, the boys target shooting and then we all met up and got Christmas trees to start off the season.

After getting the tree, we decorated the house, began shopping and getting everything ready for Christmas. In the middle of December we went to California to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family and then my mom's side of the family. When we got back I did some baking, and then family came and we played games, went to the movies, of course shopped, did more baking and before they left did some bowling. It was a wonderful time and an amazing way to spend the holidays. We felt so blessed to have family come and for their generosity and love towards our kids.

All the kids and all the cousins in California

Holiday baking all ready to hand out. (Thanks Sarah for your help)

Family bowling at Big Al's. So much fun, even Caleb got into it for a little while, but he couldn't resist going to the huge arcade.

Hanging at mom and dad's with family. Caleb and his bubbha, Kenna and her great aunt Terre. McKenna started giggling during the holidays. She would only giggle when her aunt Jen or great aunt Terre would talk to her.

Caleb and his remote control car and Jen, Drew and Kenna chillin on Christmas morning.

Christmas morning with Kenna in her PJs and Caleb on his new Radio Flyer trike. The only place to ride it right now is round and round in the house. He was so excited, it was the greatest feeling to see the look on his face when he saw the bike for the first time. Just priceless
