Once In A Blue Moon - Happy New Year!

When the clock strikes midnight, remember to look up! A full moon will be shining down. It will be the second full moon this month. This is a phenomenon known as a blue moon. A full moon on New Year's Eve last occurred on Dec 31, 1990 and it won't happen again until 2028!

Lacey's Picture With Santa

On December 5, 2009 we got Lacey's picture taken with Santa. A local store was doing pet pictures with Santa and donating all the proceeds to the SPCA. Since it was Lacey's first Christmas this year, we decided to get her picture done! She was such a good girl. The picture turned out good too! Happy Holidays!!

Our Christmas Day 2009

This Christmas Blaine and I just had a nice relaxing Christmas at our home. It was just the three of us... Blaine, Lacey and I. It was Lacey's first Christmas and she loved it!! We got up early and took our time opening our presents. I really enjoyed it. We got showered and ready for the day and had pancakes for breakfast made on our new grill that Ted and Debbie got for us. I really love the grill! Then we talked on the phone to all our family and just relaxed until I had to start dinner. It was a really nice Christmas and it was our first Christmas since buying our house! It really feels like our home.

I am now looking forward to New Year's Eve. We will be spending it with a few of our friends here. I am excited to see what 2010 brings into our lives. 2009 was a great year for us!

Thank you to everyone for all our wonderful Christmas gifts! (xoxoxo) We love our families very much!

Here are some pictures from our Christmas day. They aren't in proper order...

It was a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas Eve! I am watching It's A Wonderful Life like I usually do on Christmas Eve. It is a great movie. Blaine and I had a really nice day together and this evening we had some good friends over for a visit and then we all went out in the truck and drove around looking at Christmas lights. Tomorrow morning we will be getting up early and it will be Lacey's first Christmas! We are so happy to have Lacey in our family now. Here are some pictures of Lacey in her Christmas shirt!
