Christmas 2009

Christmas 2009 did not disappoint. We had a great Chrsitmas Eve dinner and gift exchange at Aubrey's parents' house. Then on Christmas morning, Tyler loved waking up to all of the gifts from Santa. Even better for Aubs & I, Tyler slept in till 8:00!! Santa brought Tyler a cool slide, a remote-controlled train set, clothes, and his very own broom (Tyler loves to sweep the floor & carpet with a broom). This kid was in heaven all morning long. We made a little Christmas morning breakfast as a family, before opening gifts from each other.

Christmas as a parent is very rewarding. Even more rewarding than when I was a kid. To see the look on Tyler's face when we walked from his bedroom was priceless. I wish I had the camera ready to capture the look. Thanks to everyone for a great holiday season.

We wish everyone out there a happy and heathly New Year. May 2010 be better than 2009.
