Christmas 2009

So, back home to St. Louis it was for Christmas - and we chose to drive. . . again. . . that would be the 2nd time of the year. Yes, we're crazy but thought it would be a little cheaper than paying for 3 of us to fly. We will ALWAYS choose flying over driving 1400+ miles (that's about 20 hrs with stops). Owen had a couple meltdowns but I had my stock of $1 matchbox cars to distract him. Anyway, we had lots of fun and we were totally exhausted. We celebrated Christmas with the usuals -

Christmas Ever with my mom side of the family

Christmas with my dad side and Shaun's side

The day after Christmas (and a wedding - Owen was the entertainment) at my step moms

We got a little snow in before celebrating with Shaun's dad and grandma. It was so great that she got to come up.

We also celebrated Shaun's 29th birthday and my 30th (yes the BIG 3-0) which I have finally excepted. They had a surprise party for me which was awesome. My dad took pics (thanks dad) for me so I'll post them when I get them.

Glad to be home. Here's to a great year.
