Christmas 2009

I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas season with my family. I've had some pretty amazing Christmases in the past, but this one was definitely the best.

"C'mon, Ben," Jack is saying. "Quit smiling for the camera abd help me open these gifts!"

Grandma Sauer and Uncle Matty bought us a flat-screen tv! Wow! How exciting!

Ben and Jack: my BEST presents EVER!

My nephew, Matthew, is 9 months old and getting bigger everyday! Ellie, his mom, is about 7 months pregnant and due at the end of February!

My Jonathan, 7.5 months

My Benjamin, 7.5 months

I never realized that all of my siblings (including me) have a hitch-hiker's thumb! Too funny!

Jonathan and his daddy. Gosh, I love these men.

Jack, Andy, me and Ben - a wonderful Christmas!!
