Happy New Year 2009

We have returned to see another year. We arrived home late Tuesday night to wildly rip open the rest of our Christmas gifts under the tree. Santa left Madeline a ride on beach racer and Annie a little wooden kitchen set complete with wooden tableware and food. They were both very happy with their Christmas this year and they had tons of fun in Colorado with their aunt, uncle and cousins. The cousins were very tolerant of our high energy want-to-play-all-of-the-time children! While in Colorado some of us played at the park, went running, ice skated twice, climbed in the mountains, went to a movie, baked cookies, stayed in the YMCA of the Rockies cabin, enjoyed the shops in Estes, and went mall shopping. It was a great vacation except I brought a little stuffiness home with me. That's okay because it's been six months since I've had any kind of sickness. Hopefully it will stay mild.

We rang in the new year by watching movies; Wall-E and the Dark Knight. Mary is coming over today to make cookies with Madeline. She and David spent yesterday morning with the girls too. I heard that Mary had fun riding the beach racer with Madeline. Ryan spent some time yesterday playing with his new Air Hog and Wii games. Today we've just been cleaning out some of the closets to help de-junk the inner depths of the house. I will post Colorado Christmas pictures later. Happy New Year to all!
