The New Year

Looking back, 2009 seemed to have flown by. I know it didn't feel that way when I was going through the year since I was pregnant and a new mom for most of the year. Although I thought it would never pass, many great things happened during those long months. Our first son Hyrum was born on September 15th right after we made a big move to Los Alamos, NM in August.

We had a blast over the holidays spending time with both sides of our family. We started Christmas vacation off here at home in Los Alamos with Brad's family. We played many games, watched some movies, and caught up on old times. One of the highlights was acting out the nativity scene. Here is a picture of us waiting for the wise men to visit the young child Jesus.

The Sunday following Christmas, we left for Mansfield, TX to visit with my family. While we were there we enjoyed a Christmas devotional, opening presents, watching many bowl games (including the Armed Forces Bowl, which we attended thanks to Uncle James), & playing in the snow. Hyrum esp. loved spending time with Nanna and Pappy. Here are some pictures from our adventures. One of our fun family pictures

Brad and I have each made goals for this new year, one of which is keeping this blog updated. We hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful New Year!
