Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas here at home in Austin this year! Luke is at the perfect age this year and really understood everything that was going on. In addition to all things Santa Claus, he has been learning about the meaning of Christmas and the birth of baby Jesus at his preschool. This year we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at home before heading up to Dallas to spend some time with family and friends. The kids had a great time and so did we! Carl got me a new camera for Christmas, so I'll be catching up with lots of new pictures from the holidays and the new year!
