Carlinville Christmas 2009

 We spent Christmas Day with Oma and Opa. We opened lots of presents before heading to The Fullington's for the afternoon. (no photos from Fullington's :()

Merry, Merry! -Christmas 2009

This was my first Christmas morning at home in my memorable life. It was everything I hoped for. Cole enjoyed the mystery of Santa...

This was the first Christmas Cole really got into.  Cole, you are such a big boy these days.  You are more of a buddy than my baby!  You are so much fun.  I enjoyed this Christmas as a parent more than any I had as a child I think!  I love you, Monkey!

Your big present this year was a Geotrax train set.  Daddy helped you set it up and you have practically run the batteries out by keeping it running all.the.time!  You love it.  Daddy is ready to build on your set with more goodies.

Thanks for making my Christmas magical, Cole.  As you and I regularly say these days, "you're the best!"
