So Long 2009

Another year has come and gone. Time has always seemed to go really quickly for me but raising 3 kids, wow does time ever fly. The days, weeks and then months are gone before I know it. It has been such a fun and amazing year to see our babies have so many firsts and learn so many new things.

We took the kids out for lunch today to Fuddrucker's. They had a great time watching everyone and chowing down on grilled cheese and potato wedges. They have always been so good anytime we are out in public with them. One man asked us how we got them to sit there so quietly. Daniel's response was "bribing them with treats." Hey, whatever works. Now if he were to stick his head inside of our door during the day he may not be asking us the same question.

Here are a few pictures from our lunch today. It is nice to go out and do these kind of things sometimes and feel like we can do what most families do without even thinking about it. It can be a lot of work, but worth it for us and them to get out of the house.

Casey looking a little zoned out.

Mitchell pounded back the wedges and chocolate chip cookie today like he was in an eating contest. Hmmm, eating out may be a way to put a little more meat on his bones (although unfortunately that would probably mean mine too).

Maggie looks like she's doing a ninja move.

That little belly is so stuffed!


This is their final picture of 2009.

Our rockin' New Year's Eve consists of Daniel watching the Canada vs. USA hockey game, me writing on the blog and the babies sleeping. To be honest, I am really hoping to be asleep when the clock strikes 12. It also happens to be our anniversary today. What a wild bunch!

2009 was so much fun and filled with so many memories, but I can only imagine 2010 will be even better. All the best to you!
