Christmas 2009

This year we had the joy of having 2 Christmas celebrations! The first one was with Ben's family and the second was with mine. These pics are from the second one where my whole family was together! (it's been 3 years since that has happened!) We had so much fun!
Above is a pic of Grandma reading to the boys.

Just having fun!

Some of the uncles and aunts. =)

Uncle Dan gave the kids puppets for Christmas!

Which one is weirder?

Our sweet little niece, Katelyn.

She was ready to go sledding!

Cali loves her cousin!

Trick-or-treating

We had a clone trooper, Boba Fett, and Thumbalina! They loved all the candy and costumes!

I had fire coming out of my mouth! lol.

On our last trip from the countryside, our car died halfway to the city! Here we are trying to limp to the nearest town!

Back in Florida, Aiden learned to swim in 2 weeks!

Ayrik is still working on it! They all love to be in the water.
