Christmas Recap!

I think we have finally recovered from all of our celebrating from Christmas and New Years! We had quite a bit of fun, and it has taken almost a week now to recover (or just get caught back up on life and back into the swing of things!!). We are thankful for wonderful family to celebrate the birth of our Lord with, and we will cherish the memories we made this past Christmas season!

Shane on Christmas Day - full of excitement!

Faith loved the bells she received!

Look at that cool guy!

We capped off a busy and fun Christmas day with dessert at Renee and Joe's house! Faith always loves the entertaining games that Aunt Renee has for her!

On the 27th we left for Grand Rapids to celebrate the holidays with my family! Our first major event (after getting patted down at the airport and the plane ride) was a Christmas party with the Swagmans. Faith had such a great time with them, especially Great-Grandma!

Sharing some ice cream!

We visited the Frederick Meijer Gardens. They had tree decorated to depict Christmas around the world. Faith is standing in front of the tree from the Netherlands.

We arrived to a winter wonderland! Faith could hardly wait to go outside and "make tracks in the snow!" She LOVED the snow!!

We also were able to celebrate Christmas with the Bruinsma side of the family. One of the highlights at Uncle Gord and Aunt Cathy's house is the drum set! Both kids spent quite a bit of time on the drums, and we know they would love a set of their own! They'll have to keep dreaming!!

Again, we had a wonderful Christmas season and feel so blessed! As we begin 2010, we look forward to what the year ahead has in store, and look forward to making many more memories as a family!
