On New Year's Eve we went to my parents house. We had Chinese take out and we played Bunko......yes bunko!!! It was actually really fun once everyone understood how to play!

At 12 o'clock we went out to bang pots and pans. Greg let off some fireworks also!

Christmas Morning 2009

Ashlynn and Mitch were so excited to see if Santa had come! Well to their amazement....he did! We had a great Christmas. The kids got what they had asked for and they were so excited about everything! Ashlynn got her American Girl Doll and Mitch got his "poppa wheelie motorcycle." They are at such a fun age when Christmas is so magical, I love it!!

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Chipman's

Christmas Eve is one of my favorite time of the Christmas season! The excitement of Santa Clause coming is so close the kids can't hardly stand it, the presents haven't been opened yet, you can still listen to Christmas music on the radio! The magic is so real! We get to celebrate with family! I LOVE IT!!!
