A close to 2009...

It is hard to believe that 2009 is coming to a close! We have been very busy in the month of December. We have celebrated many different emotions, from the happiness of Mallory Kate's 3rd birthday, the joy of Christmas, and the sadness of losing a loved one. In many ways I am ready to close the 2009 book and open up to chapter 1 of 2010, and on the other hand, I feel like the year went by way too fast!
It is hard to believe that Mallory Kate is 3- where did the last 3 years go? She had a small birthday party at our house with some close family and friends. It was a "girly" party- of course- with dress-up, nails, and hair! She LOVED it!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Mallory Kate! Our family had a WONDERFUL Christmas with several family celebrations. Graham and Mallory Kate were so excited this year! Graham even got upset with Mallory Kate because she wasn't focusing on the real meaning of Christmas and she only wanted presents! I had to explain to him that she was only 3 and she didn't quite understand the meaning yet- although we will teach her. They both enjoyed making food for the reindeer and cookies for Santa too! It was a great Christmas!
...and Santa came!



And the sadness comes with the loss of Granny, at the age of 85. She was a precious lady who I so much admired for her kind and genuine spirit. I am so excited that she is now reunited with Grandaddy! Granny will be missed, but we will certainly hold tight to the fond memories we have with her.

I hope you all have had a wonderful 2009! I can't wait to see what 2010 will hold!

Beautiful pictures and a wonderful tribute to your sweet Granny.

Isn't it great that we can kind of get a fresh start with a new year. Wishing you all the best in 2010!
