2010

We are so happy to Welcome 2010! Last month went by so fast and as much as I love the holidays it was nice to get back to "real life"! Richard and I both ended up working Christmas Eve morning from 6am- 11am ( for any of you that had collections calls that day you better bet I was the one calling haha). Amelia was able to come spend the night on the 23rd- 24th so we could both work the morning shift! THANKS AMELIA!! After work we headed over to my parents for Christmas Eve dinner and to spend the night. We love being able to go to their house and feel like its our house too!

On Christmas morning us kids we got up at 5 am!! ( besides Ethan who I let sleep in until 8) We got to see what Santa brought us and then went and opened gifts and just barely finished with breakfast by the time Ethan got up! I got a new camera for Christmas and I was so distracted playing with it that I didn't take pictures of our family opening gifts! Sorry guys!!! Anyway later that afternoon we headed to Richard's Brothers house for a family get together. It was really fun to spend time with his family and especially his sister and her kids who live in Seattle.

The New Year always reminds me of the goals I set last year that I didn't do so this year my goal is not to set goals! Just kidding my actual goal is to get more organized so that when I want to make goals I am organized enough to do it! We love you all and love reading your posts! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

Ethan got this from Santa! We thought he would like his bike more, but of course he didn't!

Ethan on his quad. He doesn't quite understand the concept of pushing a button to make it go!

I loved watching him open his gifts! As you can tell from this picture he got very excited!

Hailey and Amelia on Christmas!

Lilly LOVES to hug Ethan. It was so cute!

For some reason Justin, Richard, Jon and Rob thought this was hilarious!

Kyson, Richard's nephew and Ethan loved his new toy!

Ethan and Grandma Gloria

After we got home I had just got Ethan out of the tub and ready for the day. I was in the other room and came back to this MESS!

LOTION EVERYWHERE!! At least he liked putting it on which is a 5 time daily routine!

I didn't know my new camera took pictures like this but I thought it was cool. Kinda got distracted at the end
