Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Ben was super excited and totally "got" what was going on. We spent Christmas Eve with Bubba & Grampy and hosted Christmas brunch at our house with both sets of grandparents and Uncle Tim, Auntie and baby Maggie (for her first Christmas).

This year Ben got a lego train, helicopter, crane, electric guitar, lego city set, police helmet and lots of fun board games. He also got Wii Sports Resort we've all been having a lot of fun with.

December has been busy...

We baked the oh-so-famous currant cookies with Bubba (and Grampy);

Got our tree decorated and had a special puppy guest Bree to our house;

Had our friend Connor over for some serious Wii playing;

AND Ben beat Daddy at Wii bowling...

the student has become the master!

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Ben shared his list with Santa at a breakfast with Santa event this weekend. This year he asked for a lego train, helicopter and airplane.

Joe and I got to visit with Santa as well...

Legos & Cousins

Ben's first Lego masterpiece is a fire truck with a working ladder. He disappeared in his room for about 45 minutes and came out with his custom design. We were pretty impressed! He's really been into Legos recently and Joe's pretty happy about that!

Here's a cute one of Ben and Maggie. She's getting so big - they are great friends!
