Birthday's, Christmas and Braces, then New Year's 2009

Casey's truck with snow on it. f
Could we possibly fit anything else into this month? Well one more day to find out!
For us the month began with deployment of our second son, Dec 3.
Then Dec 11th, Andrea turned 12, she got some new jewelry.
Dec 12th, Brian was 14, We went out to eat and Brian got a gift, that was later returned for money towards his ZUNE. No camera this night. (something we often forget this time of year)
Dec 17th Donald was 46, He's too old for cameras and celebrations. LOL
Dec 20th Don and I dressed for his 80's theme work party, He was Micheal Jackson and I was just me, in a flashy top and ratted-up hair..
Dec 21st Casey was 20
Our first Christmas gift exchange with the Gordon/Thompson families was also this day.

Then Christmas on the 25th

Brian unwraping his PSP game, Andrea and I reading over the Digital/video camera directions,

Andrea and Derek putting together a lego set. WE always get a new lego set or two at Christmas, it's a tradition at our house!

Andrea and Grandpa playing checkers,, Derek showing Grma and Grpa the pictures from Iraq.

We had my parents on the 27th-29th visit, with gifts and we all played cards to the wee hours!

And now today we have two kids with Braces on their teeth.

Tomorrow the kids will have a lock-in at the Church, so Don and I will be alone!! WOW~~
What will the new year bring~?
