Snow!

After our huge snowstorm last week Ben and I headed out to shovel the snow. Since I have 4 older brothers and a hardworking Dad this was my first time to shovel the walks. I was pretty excited about it, I gave it a shot for about 10 minutes then decided to build a snowman, needless to say Ben finished the job :)

Ben started to eat my snowman...but its death came just a few hours later when I looked out the window and it had fallen over :(

The snowman will live forever in our hearts...until next year!

New Year's Day

Every New Year's Day my mom's family gets together and has a little party. This year my Aunt Shauna wanted us to take a group picture. A little later I went up to my nephew Cole and told him to smile, the picture below is of him getting frustrated with me saying, "We already took pictures!" He is a character!This is Caleb thinking...it isn't that big of a deal Cole :)

This is Caleb again...I love that he can do this with his eyebrows, and I have tried many times to do this and still fail.

Beautiful Kimmy eating the good food!

Cute Kyla

Cole and Julianne are best friends, they get along so well. After we ate we all caught them walking around the church holding hands :)

And they're off!

I love this picture of Alisha with Cole and Julianne! Lish is a definite kid person, all the grandbabies adore her, as is portrayed very well here.

New Year's Eve

For New Year's Eve my parents and little sister Alisha came up and stayed the night. It was a lot of fun to host our first party. There was plenty of food and a good time.

MIDNIGHT

Celebrating!

Dad celebrating and trying to figure out the camera at the same time :)

The Move

The day after Christmas we moved to our new home. This is us packing Christmas night, goodbye 10X10 gold room, hello house!

This is Ben trying to figure out how to put the tv stand together. Yes, we did this before we unpacked our toothbrushes...this wore us out so much we just went to bed without searching for them :)

The mess!

Christmas

Below are a few snapshots of our 2009 Christmas! I got a new camera for Christmas and it has been a lot of fun to play with, I hope you can see the difference in picture quality when my photos switch from our old camera to the new one. I got a bit carried away with it Christmas night when everyone came over to the Cox house. But it was fun to get close ups of the family :) Below is just a small sample. Enjoy!
