Merry Christmas 2009

Huge pile of presents just for her. Each one, Elizabeth asks "FOR ME?!" So excited!
The kitties like the dollhouse best.
Thanks Grammie, for the cute backpack
Cheers!
Don't you love the crazy hats...courtesy of Grandpa Ho-Ho
Wow! More presents !
! Dad even got some good stuff:)
Nothing as cool as this hat, though
The best book EVER!
Immediately, it becomes Elizabeth's favorite
We were so blessed by generous family and friends. We had to hide a few things to bring out throughout the year

Grandpa's is pretty good, too

Saying goodbye to the boys

Elizabeth bids farewell to long-time neighbors Steve and Chris. She has known them all her life! We will miss Chris sticking his head out the window to say hello. Elizabeth still looks for "Steve's car" in the driveway.
