A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

What a wonderful Christmas season we had! I never wanted it to end. We spent Christmas in Oregon with Darren's parents, two sisters and one brother. It was so fun to be with family and my boys loved playing with their cousins. We got out of Seattle right before the last bad snow storm that cancelled our church. Halelujah! It only rained in Eugene. We talked and played games, went out to eat and saw some movies. It was so relaxing and fun. Check out all these boy cousins:
Joseph was pumped about Santa! Justin was a little overwhelmed. But once all the toys were opened, he was in heaven.
New Year's Eve was fun too! My old roomie, Jessica and her husband Jason came over after the kids went to bed and we played cards, ate junk food and drank sparkling juice from our wine goblets.


We are so grateful for fabulous famiy and friends to share the holidays with and we wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2009!

Taylor has that exact toy with the fire truck, police car and ambulance. Funny! How fun that you got to see Jess, does she live that close?

Happy New Year, Jolleys! Loved seeing you over the break, even if I didn't win the card game. :)

Jospeh scored with the little scooter...does he LOVE it? You are such a creative mom (I read all your ideas about rainy days) and I am going to have to try them...
