Christmas Tour 2009


Here are some pictures from our Christmas Tour 2009. When it was all said and done, we celebrated Christmas 5 times this year. People often ask us "How do you manage all that traveling??" The simple answer is, it's worth it. In the midst of the packing/unpacking...loading/unloading, it can be a headache...but when I consider the alternative,not being with family, perspective comes quickly. I can't imagine missing out on any of our Christmases. They are all so special and different. It's impossible to choose a "favorite" because they all meet different needs. So here it is...Christmas 2009 (The pictures are out of order, but I don't have time to switch them all around):

Aunt Ali brought a Rice Krispy house for the kids to decorate.

Playing cars with Matt, A, and L.
