Christmas 2009!

Christmas was so much fun this year! Matthew was so cute and loved every minute of it all! Every year we split the holiday... Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Ben's family... it works out perfect! We are lucky that our families are all local! On Christmas Eve we have a birthday party for Jesus and the kids all decorate cupcakes, then my mom has the kids all listen while she tells the Christmas story, we open presents and head to church... we pack a lot in!! Christmas Day we woke up and Matthew got to open his presents from Santa and us! Then we went to Ashley's and celebrated with all the Schwiegers... it was a great day, despite the horrible weather!! We were a little nervous about the hour long drive, but it went pretty well!!


Here is Matthew with his cupcake,as we are singing Happy Birthday to Jesus...

He got a suitcase from Kristin... he puts his hockey gear in it :)

And roller blades and a Wild jersey from my parents

My family...

Matthew asked Santa for a face mask and rollerblades. here is the facemask with a brand new helmet!

And since MeeMee bought him the rollerblades, Santa got him a Jeep instead, which was a huge hit!!!

Me with the Schwieger girls... Tracy, Ashley, me and Bridgit

Most of the cousins went outside to play! They had so much fun!!
