So... it's been almost a year... (Part 2)

Alrighty, I seem to have figured out the issue with the pictures. So, here is the rest of 2009...

We took advantage of T's time off work after the surgery, and went on a little family vacation to visit his sister, do a little sight-seeing and, of course, hit up the zoo. :) We met our newest great-niece, who was only 2 weeks old! <3

Next up was Halloween. Pumpkin painting, Mumfest, carving Jack O' Lanterns, and the cherry on top: Trick or Treating! Bella still asks on a regular basis if we can go for a walk in the dark for candy. Haha!


We had Thanksgiving at our house, with the Neumans. I cooked my very first Thanksgiving dinner! It was no gourmet meal, but most definitely palatable.


We spent Christmas here this year, since we took the trip to MN in June. It was quiet and we missed being with our families a lot, but it was nice in it's own way. We stayed home on Christmas Eve and opened presents (Santa came a day early!), and on Christmas Day we went over to the Neumans' for dinner and poker!


And last but not least, we went bowling on New Year's Eve. Bella had an absolute blast!


So, there is the monstrocity of (two) posts that is our 2009.

My New Year's resolution this year is to keep up with this on a regular basis, so I can actually write things rather than just do a general review in pictures.

We'll see.
