Christmas in Review 2009


Another Christmas in the books...they seem to come and go so fast! We were so blessed to spend time with family and celebrate the birth of our Savior! Here are a few highlights of the season! Brad with his NASCAR flag :)
The girls checking out the awesome princess tent they got. We went up to the cottage for the whole week of CHristmas....it was so much fun and so relaxing! Here's a shot of the girls in their Christmas Jammies, not a great shot, but the best we could do :)
Playing out in the snow, Anabelle didnt last long, but Sabrina loved it. Both girls snowmobiled a bit too!
Anabelle came in from the cold and made puppy chow with Auntie Jay...She LOVED it and snooped ALOT!We went to the Kaliseum in Kalkaska for some swimming, Anabelle was unsure at first, but once she warmed up she didn't want out!Sabrina and her gingerbread house!With her cookies for Santa :) After we got home from the Cottage, we had our own party. The girls got sleeping bags from Brad and I and loved playing in them. Sabrina has slept in hers every night since!
Our last party was with the Iverson's, the girls had so much fun with thier grammie and grampie and thier cousins! Anabelle refused to be in the picture with the cousins until Grampie stepped in and saved the day :)
This Christmas was the first one where Sabrina actually understood what was going on some... We read the Christmas story often at her request, she asked lots of questions about the Saviors birth, (some really funny!) she belted out Christmas songs, she was excited about stockings, terrified of Santa still (theres always next year!), and it was so much fun to watch her be so excited about all the parties! :)

Anabelle really got into opening presents this year and doing whatever sissy did :) She was very excited when she saw Santa at Nana and Poppys house, but didn't want anything to do with getting close to him. :)

I feel so blessed to have been able to celebrate such an amazing gift with our families. :)
