I'm so behind!!!

Here it is 2009! I'm so behind...but for the purpose of keeping a journal I'm going to post about our Christmas and New Years 2008!
We had a wonderful Christmas! It started out with the kids waking up at 7:30 (not too bad) after all the presents were opened I made a big breakfast. After that we were off to Todd's parents house to be with them.

Here is Trevor with his gifts. Trevor and Ethan's "big" gift from Santa was the x box 360 and Guitar hero. They were SO EXCITED about that!!



Can you tell Kate is the "only" girl? I can't get enough of all the pink, it's so fun! Kate and Mack got bikes from "DAD" this year...they found their bikes in the back of Todd's truck on Christmas Eve...Santa wasn't able to bring bikes this year so dad had to get them instead:)



After spending the afternoon with Todd's parents we headed on over to my parents house for the evening. My Mom made a really nice dinner. It was fun being with them and opening more presents. My Mom never disappoints in that department. We ate and played games and had a really good time.
How could I not get a picture of Noah on his first Christmas?!?

Here are my sisters and I... (we missed MELISSA and CAROLEE this year)!

Now on to New Year's Eve! I was determined to have fun this year! It was sort of a last minute thing but we went to dinner with some friends at the Cheesecake Factory (YUM) and then headed over to our house afterwards for a little Guitar Hero.

Go Erin with the vocals!! Jenny on the guitar and Trevor on drums..

All the kids had a blast too..

and the night ended ringing in the New Year banging pots and pans! My FAVORITE part!!

Now on to News Years Resolutions and our 14th wedding anniversary on the 13th WAHOO!!!

Under the pictures of the sissy's you said you were missing Melissa this year. Are you forgetting someone else?
