Christmas 2009

I know I'm just a little late on posting some of our grand pics from Christmas 2009, BUT better late then NEVER :-) Our last bit of family just left yesterday morning. Family started coming the Sunday before Christmas. My parents were our first family visitors. They came and celebrated Christmas with us and left the Sunday morning after Christmas. It was great to have them here for that long as we didn't waste anytime putting them to work. While mom watched over my babies, Dad and I tackled our first paint job of our new house. I will post pictures of the new house later. I officially have painted four out of the 8 rooms we have to paint. I'm taking a break though because I'm TIRED!!! The girls had a great visit from Santa as he brought us a trampoline. They have not stopped jumping yet. Christmas Eve Austyn took part in a program at our church. It was super cute! Wednesday after Christmas we headed out to Aunt Krissi and Uncle Rody's to meet up with more family coming in from Kansas. Tripp's cousins Mark, Pamma, Nae Nae (Danae) and Danielle arrived Wednesday and his other cousins Mike, Krissi, Derek and Trent came in late New Years Eve. I was shooting a wedding that afternoon and evening so missed a good bit of that day but we had a great time with all of them as well. They left yesterday morning. While we were out at Aunt Krissi and Uncle Rody's my babies got to ride their new go cart which was so much fun for them BUT because we had had so much rain they were a muddy mess. Which Austyn enjoyed until it was time to stop and then she freaked out just a bit because mud was everywhere on her. It was kind of cute! All and all Christmas 2009 was AWESOME and such a huge BLESSING! We have LOTS to share about our new house I mentioned above but another day another time :-) I'll keep y'all in suspense I guess :-)
