Feliz Navidad

Christmas this year was really nice. We celebrated the 18th-25th while my Sister and her husband were here. We went out to dinner. Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner at my parent's house and then went to look at Luminarias. Christmas day they came over and we opened gifts at our house, the kids had a lot of fun. That night we had another nice dinner at my parent's house and my brother-in-law Hugh's parents came over as well. The next day Keith's parents came down from Utah for a few days and his sister Jana and her kids came up. We went out to eat and went to the Balloon Museum. We also went swimming which was a huge hit with the kids, we were one of the last ones to leave! It was a perfect holiday spent with family that we love. It was kind of sad when everybody left and we had to take all the decorations down. It seems empty and quiet now. But I guess we have to get ready for the New Year!

Here are some of the picture highlights:

Caleb like to snuggle up to him any chance he got!

Elsie is sitting here on my lap--when she saw your tree she gasped and said, "Wow, she's a really good decorator":). I agree. It sounds like you had a great holiday season. Where did you get those cool rockets? My Caleb would love one of those. Happy 2010 too, can you believe how old we are getting:)
