It's been a great year...

....but we hope 2009 is even better. We hope all of our family is healthy and happy and that we can spend more time with those that we love. We know we will face many changes in the coming year and we hope that we can face whatever comes our way.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ~Benjamin Franklin

Christmas Eve

Beck before Christmas Mass...isn't he dapper?

Beck and Maddux

It snowed a few weeks ago and I caught this of Beck and Maddux looking out the window...thought it was sweet.

Beck and Santa

Not a good combination

Silver Dollar City

We took Beck to Branson to look at the lights at Silver Dollar City. (Mommy also did some shopping). We went with Hoelzeman's (Josh, Laura and Ayla) and the Stobaugh's (Sarah, Kyle and August). He enjoyed the tree, the parade and riding the train. It was a little cold but he was bundled up pretty tight :)

Holiday Cards

Here are some of the photos we took to use on our Christmas cards this year. It was a hard decision but #3 was our winner.
