Christmas 2009

Christmas time is always so much fun but this year was so much more fun with Lanie. Every year, the older Lanie gets, seems to get better!! Lanie got her annual letter from Santa this year! This was the first year that she was really excited about it. I could harldy read it to her from tearing up over her excitement!! In addition to her letter this year she also got a phone call from Santa, she was just as excited about that!! I LOVE seeing her so happy and getting so excited. She still didn't want anything to do with the "real" Santa, so we again didn't get a picture with him.

We spent our Christmas as we do every year. We spent Christmas Eve with my family, first at my uncle and aunt's house (John & Carlene) and then to my parent's house. The one thing different is that when we got home Bradley's mom was there to spend the night with us, which Lanie was super happy about. She loved that Nanny would be there to see what Santa was bringing her! After we opened gifts and saw what all Santa brought Christmas morning we later went to Bradley's parent's house to have Christmas with his family!

We had another GREAT Christmas this year with family and Santa was good to Lanie! Here are a few of the many pictures taken during our Christmas fun.
