December where did you go??

December 2009--Here and gone. A quick run down of our month:
Brady in all of his cuteness decided that his saying for the month "You're Lookin' Good!!"

Madie celebrated her 50th day of school with a "sock hop". Mom went to school to help serve root beer floats and was the only parent dressed up!

Snowstorm to start the month...after watching my neighbors get stuck in the road, we just all stayed home!!

Brady in all his cuteness (NOT) took a pencil and poked holes in my ottoman. He liked the "popping" sound that it made.

Helped my sister Jody celebrate her 50th birthday.


Celebrated the holiday's with our wonderful daycare families!





Brady's Christmas program at 5 C's preschool. He sang and did all of the actions to the shows. We were very proud of him!!!













Madie's Christmas program at school. She had a speaking part in the program. We are very proud of her!!














Went sledding with the kids at Spring Lake Park. It was a blast and like bad parents, we did not bring the camera:(

SNOW STORM like you could not believe over Christmas. We got about 18 inches of snow here in Mankato from the 24th of December to the 26th.


We celebrated the Birth of Jesus with our family tradition...Christmas Eve Christmas mass. Madie was an angel in the pageant. Home for family pictures. Soup for dinner and then presents from mom and dad.

Dad read "the night before Christmas" to the kids, they left cookies for santa and food for the reindeer and headed to bed.












Santa again came to our house this year. He brought us a new tent, so we are looking forward to checking it out this summer!!

We spent the Saturday after Christmas in Savage at Kelli and Tom's house for Christmas with the Clarke Family. The kids so enjoy playing with their cousins.

We spent the Sunday after Christmas traveling to Lucan to celebrate the VanLoy Christmas. The roads were HORRIBLE, but Kevin kept on going--sometimes as slow at 30mph. When we got to Christmas in Lucan, my sister Barb had surprised us all by flying in from South Carolina for the holiday. It was a GREAT surprise. Kerri gave us all breast cancer awareness bracelts...here we are (without Marsha who was in Mexico with her family).



We enjoyed New Years Eve at Matt and Lori's (our neighbors) and then headed home to ring in the new year with the kids.

So a quick run down of December 2009. Looking forward to a great 2010!
