Christmas Eve 2009

We spent our first Christmas in Raleigh this year. It was really nice starting our own traditions. We went to mass on Christmas and it was so crowded. Of course we had to stand, so Matt and I took turns holding Anthony because there were just too many people.

We tried to do a family picture but it didn't turn out right, so here we are all ready to go to church.

Cookies and milk for Santa

Mama and Anthony reading Twas the Night Before Christmas

Lights on the Neuse

Matt and I took Anthony to see Chrismtas lights at Lights on the Neuse in Clayton. It's a 30 minute tractor ride through this huge farm and woods with music. It was great except it was very cold the night we decided to go. We had to wait in line and Anthony wasn't happy about that, but he stopped fussing as soon as we got on the tractor!

Anthony getting impatient. He's ready for the ride!

Oh my!

Long over due

I can't believe the holidays have come and gone and I am so behind on my updates. I will start with some random pictures and I promise to do a better job in 2010 with updates on here!
