Christmas 2009

January is only halfway over - so I still think it is OK to post some pics from Christmas!  We headed to Plattsmouth a day early because of a forecast of snow - and we sure were glad that we did!  For the next few days it snowed and snowed and snowed - so much that we weren't even able to travel to DeWitt/Wilber to spend time with Keith's side of the family!  Luckily we were able to see them the next weekend - but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures.  I guess we were so busy having fun that we forgot!  I didn't take any of these pictures either - luckily Grandma Ruth and Aunt Erica were smart enough to capture some of our fun times for us!

I requested Grandma and Grandpa get this 'ball popper' for Evelyn.  It says 6 months and up - but I think you have to be way older than that to play with it -- You can really see her focus and concentration in this pic! 

We were so thankful that our friend Mena could stop by on Christmas Eve - she is like a Grandma to Andrew and I and I am just ecstatic that Evelyn is able to spend time with her as well :)   She gave Evelyn a beautiful 'baby' that her daughter made and of course lots of hugs and kisses! 

Santa made his annual trip to the Wassinger house.  As you can see in the picture, Evelyn was super excited to see him and the next time the doorbell rang at Grandma's (a week later)  her eyes got big and she looked at me and said, 'Santa!' and ran to the door! 

We had so much quality family time - here is the four of us hanging out - Ev is putting chapstick on Mommy - probably right after she put it on Gunner!
