Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

What a great Christmas season!!! We had so much fun. My favorite part was taking treats around to the neighbors. Everyone was so excited to get some Muddy Buddies. We ended up staying at peoples houses for hours. We played American Idol and Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii and even watched someones wedding video, I LOVED every second!!
I bought this dress for Carley last Christmas at TJMaxx and was hoping it would fit her this year. She looked SO ADORABLE!! She got so many compliments at church and at Joel's Grandma's Christmas Eve party. She is so cute!


Here is Joel helping Carley open her first Christmas gift at Grandma Eastman's house. She had a ton of fun looking at everyone's gifts and crawling from person to person. She made Christmas so much fun!

A little family shot at my parents where we had a great time. We had Elk shish kabobs that were fantastic and enjoyed exchanging a few gifts.

We finally got dressed for the day at 7 o'clock that night and went to see Blindside with Joel's mom and some siblings. The movie was so good! Carley didn't cry but she kept yelling and cheering at the football parts. I'm sure everyone else in the theater was as amused as we were by her.

On top of all our family fun we got to spend some time with friends. Of course i didn't take pictures but we still had fun.

On New Years Eve we went to dinner with some friends and came home to watch Angels and Demons...so good! Luckily i had read the book so i could explain to Joel what was happening. The movie goes so fast it is hard to keep up. The 3 of us welcomed in the new year with some sparkling cider...Carley didn't like it at all. 2009 was such a fantastic year for us I am looking forward to all 2010 has to bring...especially the a new baby in June.

Joel spent New Years day tinkering in the garage and running to Checker for sockets. Joel is becoming such a mechanic he changed the transmission fluid on our Santa Fe. He can do anything with the help of a YouTube video.

Carley and I relaxed and tinkered in the house all day. She wanted to go out and help Joel with the car. She made a break for the door at every opportunity. She is a fiddler just like her dad.

See ya 2009. Hello 2010!!
