Christmas is here and gone again!

Cole, Sara, Sydney, Alex and Jacob

Well, another Christmas has come and gone. We have been very busy over the past month, with a "Christmas" almost every weekend. Dec 13th we had Christmas at Aunt Marlenes with Derek's extra extended family, Dec 20th we had 2 Christmas', one at Aunt Marcia's with Dereks extended family (cousins, etc) , and one at Brett's and Robyns with my brothers and parents. The first picture up top is all of the cousins from Brett and Robyn's house. Then Christmas Eve we went to my mom's house with my Dad's side of the family. 2nd picture is of Sydney in her Christmas dress, and the 3rd picture is her and cousin Bella. Christmas Day we opened gifts at our house, went to Derek's parents for awhile, and then went to Waterloo to my uncle Chuck's house for my moms side of the family. The next pictures are Syd opening gifts at home. ( my camera died, so i didn't get many) We finally wrapped Christmas up this past Saturday at Derek's parents with family. We did manage to work in a visit to Santa, Sydney just wasn't real sure about him, and the only reason she was on his lap is because he had a candy cane. :D I was right next to her the whole time, and she didn't freak out like I thought she would.

Sydney got lots of cool things for Christmas, lots of Clipos (block things) movies, coloring things, books, clothes, etc. It was a very good (but long) Christmas season. Next to come is 2009! Wow, right around the corner too.
