Christmas 2009


This was the best Christmas yet. We could not have asked for more. This year was a whirlwind, as it is every year, but it's just how we like it. We get to see everyone and spend this wonderful time of year with those we love. We started our Christmas off with Christmas Eve lunch with Michael's family. It is a tradition in his family for his Uncle Walter and Aunt Ann to take everyone (20+ people) out to lunch. It is great, crazy, but great. Here are some pics from our wonderful Christmas Eve lunch....

Caleb and Uncle Grant



Jennifer and Michael



From lunch we hurried home to make it to the 4:00 service at church with my parents, Craig, Kim, Sara and Davis. Funny story of the night: Michael and Davis too Caleb downstairs to the nursery. Michael said Caleb was all happy walking himself and talking and playing. He turned the corner for the nursery, saw Mrs. Janet (the nursery lady) and fell to the ground crying. I guess you could say he doesn't love the nursery. :) After church we drove to my cousin Kathleen's house for the Camuso Christmas. It was great...everyone was there. We draw names, eat dinner and enjoy everyone's company. Here are a few pics from our Camuso Christmas....

Caleb in his Christmas outfit...so special because this was Davis' Christmas outfit when he was Caleb's age..

On Christmas morning we woke up and Santa had come to our house and spoiled Caleb rotten!!! His favorite gift was the 89 cent package of Rasinets. Seriously though, now know what parents are talking about when they talk about their child's eyes on Christmas morning. The look on his face and the excitement he showed was priceless. It was just amazing. We can't wait for Christmas 2010 because we know it is going to be that much better!!!! Here are some pics from our Christmas morning with Caleb.

Caleb must have been a very good boy this year...


Caleb's first look....



YES!!!! A Yo Gabba Gabba DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And a train....



...and more toys?!?!?! WOW!!!



I look just like Daddy --- in my chair with a drink and the remote....



For Christmas lunch we headed over to my parents house. It was great because everyone was there...mom, dad, Craig, Kim, Sara, Davis, Lisi, Russ, Savannah and of course, the 3 of us. It was a wonderful afternoon with good food, great presents, and better company. From there we headed over to the Anderson's house where we again had good food, great presents and better company. I took tons of pictures of the presents Caleb got from his grandparents, but this was his favorite of the day...go figure...






After that, well, we went home and went to bed. If that doesn't make you tired, I don't know what will!!!!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and have a blessed 2010!!!!
