The Last Christmases of 2009...

This weekend we took a trip to Lyndon Station to celebrate Christmas with Grandma Pam and Grandpa Bill on Friday, and then celebrated with the Blodgett's on Saturday.

We encouraged a low key dinner for Friday night since we knew there would be a bigger meal on Saturday, so we ordered pizza from Uno's. It was delightful, we don't get Uno's at home much because it is too far away to order out! Then we opened presents and played with the train under the tree. Rowan seriously has been a crazy present opener this year, she has absolutely no patience or understanding of the word 'wait'!

As usual, we got way too many wonderful gifts, and barely had room to get all our things home with us on Sunday.

Saturday we had breakfast with Grandma Pam and Grandpa Bill, and the rest of the clan came over just before lunchtime. We had some appetizers and huge meal for lunch, therefore there wasn't much had for dinner. We all got some more gifts, despite not participating in the exchange, and did some relaxing.
Karen and Doug, and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa stayed at a hotel for the weekend, so Sunday morning after breakfast, we headed over by them to swim. The water wasn't very warm so it wasn't a long swim, but Rowan loved it. She didn't care about the goose bumps and purple shade she was sporting. Details, right!
Overall, it was a wonderful weekend, weather was fine to travel, it was very cold, but no snow. Rowan slept pretty well at night and for naps, although when she sleeps in a pack n play in our room, she wakes up too early. She barely made it until 6am. Oh well, she was excited I guess.

Hard to believe that Christmas 2009 is over, hope everyone had a joyous holiday!
