A YEAR IN REVIEW: 2009

Rather than print pictures for everything we do each year, I create an annual digital photo book with a couple of pages per event to document our travels and family fun. Amazingly, Kurt and I already have a library of books from the past 5 years.

2009 is finished and I am awaiting the printed book. It is so exciting to open up the package and check out the finished project. Check out the book...

FUN HOLIDAY SEASON

We really enjoyed our time over the holiday with KJ. It was especially fun to watch him open presents and talk about Santa, Baby Jesus and the tools he was hoping to get. Well, he was not disappointed.

A few pictures from Christmas morning. Once KJ saw his workbench, he could have cared less about the other gifts that were still wrapped. Thanks, Santa!



On Christmas Eve we headed to mass at St. Clement's and then over to Kurt's mom's house for the Schuster Christmas. KJ was hamming it up. I think he knew presents were coming.



After opening gifts at our house on the 25th, we traveled to Kalamazoo to spend some time with my family and celebrate Nordquist Christmas. KJ got into the annual college t-shirt tradition, had an awesome time sledding with Daddy, Mimi and Papa and had to take a picture with Papa's new Santa that he got him for a present. Thanks to Kurt and Brad for making sure the Santa was blown up and outside!
