Holiday Recap 2009

Christmas 2009 was so much fun, especially with a 2 year old. Samantha did a great job helping to decorate the tree (most of our ornaments are from the Dollar Store which was a wise choice considering she rearranged the ornaments daily and broke most of them) and Todd did a great job of decorating the outside of our house with lights, poinsettias and Christmas bulbs. We even went to the Natural History Museum last weekend and played in the "snow". We got to see lots of family and opened lots of great gifts. We even got some unexpected gifts this year, a new laptop since Samantha dropped mine on our hardwood floors and broke it and new tires on our car since we got a flat tire on the way down to visit family, hopefully 2010 will bring us better luck when it comes to things like this ;)


Here are some photos:

My favorite picture is the one of your mom teaching Samantha to vaccuum. Remember in your house growing up how we would run through your front room with our feet turned out in 1st position so as not to ruin your mom's vaccuum lines?! Good times.
