A very merry Christmas, 2009!

Whew! It's hard to believe that Christmas 2009 has come and gone already! We are thankful to have been able to celebrate with our families at several gatherings . . .

#1 - Boese family at Grandma's, Christmas Eve

getting the hang of this "unwrapping" business . . .

#2 Miller's at Grandpa & Grandma's, Christmas morning

#3 - our own family at home, later Christmas morning




#4 - The extended Miller family at Dennis & Sally's, Christmas day

#5 - The Hartsocks at Grandpa & Grandma's on Sunday

It was wonderful to spend time with everyone - catching up, laughing, eating, and giving/receiving gifts. We are blessed!

Now - vacation days are ticking away . . . here's what's (hopefully) on my agenda:

• organize photos from the year - time to be sure CDs are burned/up to date

• make some digital scrapbooks - Shutterfly is having a 40% off sale!

• take down Christmas decorations (I hate this job!)

• breakfast/lunch/coffee dates with friends

• perhaps some after Christmas shopping

• clean out some closets (I know, not fun, be desperately needed!)

• organize/figure our storage for all Braden's new toys/loot

• read!! (somehow this doesn't happen much with a 14 month old around . . . and his daycare provider took this week off, so I am not sure this will happen even on vacation)

What are you up to this week?
