Happy 2009!

Does this say I like to celebrate the new year with cupcakes or what?!?

Happy new year everyone! We hope that you have had a joyous holiday season. It has certainly been a fun and busy time here.

Grandma D. left on the 26th and Grandma and Grandpa H. showed up on the 28th (their anniversary, as usual) - and left this morning.... On the 27th we had unseasonably warm weather and Sara and I went to the park, yes, the park in December - 65 and breezy! We had a little more xmas on the 28th (see pics below). Sara had great fun helping everyone open their gifts, and in some cases trying them on!

Lots of game and book and toy time around the house the last couple of weeks, and sleeping-in, which is very odd for the little girl.... maybe she is growing - again.

The baby-to-be is doing well too, growing a lot. We are now zoning in on an auspicious end to the third week of February. Though, we do still need to get the room ready for the kiddo.....

On the slide for the holidays!



Now I am really ready to cook.



I am helping Mom see how this looks!
