Christmas 2009





Christmas is always my favorite time of year! We enjoyed spending time together as a family and making memories. With having a five year old our home still, the magical feeling still was present and it is always fun to see the girls reaction as well. We slept in longer this year due to the fact we have teenagers in our home.

Christmas Eve was a great experience! We normally stay home and have our traditional steak and seafood dinner, but this year we had the Trejo Christmas Party and we also were able to visit my parents and exchange gifts. We were able to spend awhile alone with them, unwrapping presents, reminiscing, eating and seeing other family members. How grateful I am that the Lord has granted our Father to be with us another wonderful year.

We gave mom and dad a webcam for Christmas. This was such a hit! Rob took a few minutes to get it set up and we were able to call my brother, Paul who is serving in the Army and is stationed in Korea and most of my family was able to visit with him all that evening.

We are so blessed to live close to family and to make memories!

Celebrating the New Year In Island Park






Our family had the opportunity to go to Island Park and stay in a friends cabin over New Year's. We had such an amazing time as a family! We were able to spend a little bit of time with Rob's parents, who came up Thursday night and stayed until Saturday morning. This little vacation was just what our family needed!
