Christmas 2009

At the Seattle airport, little did we know how long it would be until we saw it again.

All 3 are terrific travellers.

M loves to watch DVDs, although typing is now difficult due to a mishap with apple juice.

5 of 6 cousins together. We missed you R! (and S and J).

The only girl in the rough bunch of boys this year.

Aunt T knows how to worry about the kids and also how to spoil them. G and M love their CMT shirts.

Mom helping clean the toffee pan. I had the toffee mojo this year so I made it and Mom was my cheerleader and moral support.

Playing outside entertained the kids on days it wasn't too cold.

Always hot cocoa to warm up.

Lunar golf. Fun. The kids were really good at taking turns.

We visited our old neighborhood two days. First day I didn't get any pics (Thank you for having us Will!) The second day I got some pics-- though not as many good ones of baby C as I would like. Hanging out with good friends and Chen's for lunch--a perfect day.

On one of our "stuck" days we took the kids bowling for the first time. M observed and cheered and snacked.

You know you have spent too much time in the airport when you come up with games like 'roll the baby on the suitcase'.

love and hugs and more pics soon, B
