We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! May 2010 bring lots of happiness, love and laughter to you and yours. As we reflect back on 2009, we're reminded of all that we have to be thankful for; a wonderful family, amazing friends, a healthy and happy baby boy, a roof over our heads and delicious food on the table. We are so blessed to have each of you in our lives. We look forward to making more memories to share in 2010!
We went over to my parents' house for our tradition of breakfast for dinner on Christmas Eve. We had french toast and bacon (my favorite) this year! A little eggnog too! There were lots of laughs as we all enjoyed our little game of Secret Santa.
Van wore his little Santa sleeper and relished being so loved by all.
On Christmas Day, the three of us slept in then went to mom and dad Utsey's house for brunch. We had our traditional mimosas and sausage balls! Around 5 p.m. mom and dad Luke and Candace and Clay came over for dinner. Van loved having all his family together in one place and being the center of attention!
Another special thing that happened over the holidays: Van got to meet one of his Great-Grandmothers and one his Great-Grandfathers this Christmas season.

We rang in the New Year with our dear friends Stew, Quinerly, Mac and Libby. What a difference a year makes - last year we all rang in 2009 and Quinerly was nearing the end of her pregnancy, Libby was just starting to share her wonderful pregnancy news and I wasn't pregnant yet. This year, we had three sleeping babes!! It was very special and a lot of fun too!
Happy 2010!!
