my favorite picture of all:

sisters:

welcome 2010!

we are all looking forward to the year 2010 in our house (caleb is, but he doesn't know it)! many new adventures are coming our way, which we will be happily blogging about when they happen. :) we praise God for a wonderful 2009, the year in which we were blessed with our sweet caleb.

Christmas festivities!

we had a great and very fun first Christmas with caleb. it all started getting ready for the Christmas Eve service at church........

then after the service, we went to grandpa barry and grandma melissa's house for potato soup and zwiebach. great-grandpa roger and graner were there, along with uncle sam, aunt sue, tara, aaron, aunt annie, aunt katie, and the four kids.

then we went home and opened presents.....caleb didn't have any to open that night, but he had his stocking in the morning!

i made a yummy breakfast of chilaquiles, chorizo and eggs, and refried beans -- YUM.

then it was off to great-grandpa roger and graner's house to celebrate Christmas with the frantz family! caleb cried on the way there.....

doesn't it look like he took this picture of himself?

at the house...

he'd be happy with newspaper for Christmas...

with archer -- his first Christmas too!

after great-grandpa roger and graner's house, we went to grandpa barry and grandma melissa's house. caleb got a "stocking" there too...

caleb's big gift from grandpa and grandma was this awesome wagon! he and archer enjoyed sitting in it, although i never was able to get both of them to look at me.....

we promptly left for the beach after this braun family Christmas. we had a good weekend there, but i forgot my camera! we're looking forward to a great 2010 with our little boy! he seems so much older every day!!

caleb's first Christmas tree

he's bigger than it! maybe it will get bigger each year as he gets bigger...we'll see. :) he was very intrigued with me putting it together and loved looking at it after i turned on the lights.

happy thanksgiving!

for caleb's first thanksgiving, we went over to grandpa and grandma braun's house to eat and enjoy the day. aunt annie was there along with uncle ed and aunt katie, claire, bauer, farmer, archer, and grandpa and graner frantz. it was nice and relaxing. caleb enjoyed eating carrots and potatoes very much. claire and annie -- silly like always. :)
