2010

The holiday season has come to an end and here we are at the start of 2010!! It's a new millennium :)I was a twelve year old in eighth grade at the start and here I am at the end a 22 year old married mother of a 1 year old. It is crazy thinking about all that this millennium has in store of us. When it comes to it's end I will have an eleven year old! It is crazy to think about such things!!!

We had a wonderful and oh so merry christmas!! Tegan makes the holiday season so much more fun. She brings out the child in Zach and I and adds a special joy to everything!

We started off the holiday by going to my grandma's for christmas with my dads side of the family. Zach and I giggled when thinking back on christmas last year. Tegan was a month old and dressed in her miss clause outfit that she wore for a whole hour before she peed all over her clothes and my grandma's bed during a diaper change.(all pics were taken in our spare outfit from the diaper bag) This year she was running all over and having a blast with the other kids. It is mind boggling to think that we have a running, giggly one year old!!!

After spending christmas eve at my grandmas we came home and settled in for the night. Zach's parents and my sister stayed the night so they could have christmas morning with us and see Tegan open her gifts. We were all awake at 6:30 anxiously awaiting Tegan's little eyes to open. The one day I want her to wake she decides she needs to sleep in.
Tegan finally awoke on christmas morning with a very smiley mommy looking down on her. I was so excited to bring her to the living room to see her kitchen and open gifts! She Loved everything and constantly giggled and said "oh wow" to everything!

After opening gifts and having some yummy stuffed baked apples for breakfast we got ready for christmas day at my moms house. After the hour drive we were finally there; where we opened gifts and ate a wonderful christmas dinner.






To finish off the holiday we went to Zach's parents house where we filled up on snacks, played games and laughed until our eye lids took over.


It was a very busy overly fun few days consisting of too much laughter and very little sleep. Days in which we are still trying to recover from. We spent the rest of the weekend putting away toys and trying to get our house and daily routine back into gear. Our christmas tree came down and tegan's toys moved in.


Happy New Year from our family to yours! May you have a wonderful year full of many blessings and much happiness!!!
