The Van Becks: The last day of the year!

Wow, another year is past and we couldn't be more thankful and happy for all we have.

It's been a while since my last post, so I will try and sum up all we have done.

I had my annual December scrapbooking weekend and completed 50+ pages in my books. I am caught up in all the kids' books to May 2009!
The kids celebrated Christmas at school and performed a nice Christmas program
We celebrated Christmas with my family the weekend before Christmas! It was a great time! Lots of kids, toys, good food and drinks!
We celebrated Maggie's 2nd birthday at the bowling alley before Bueckers' Christmas
Made Christmas cookies for Santa with G'ma, Auntie Debba and Macy
We had Christmas with just Mike, the kids and I on Christmas eve. We attended Mass, came home for a nice dinner and then opened gifts. My parents joined us for the evening and it was very nice.
On Christmas Day we spent most of the day at Mike's parents house - again another fun gathering with family. All the boys had fun outside having a snow ball fight.
With the snow storm, we have had many good times playing outside in the snow already and I took the older kids on a sledding date.
Avery lost her first tooth!
Izzie contiues to use the phrase "What is that?" ALL DAY LONG!
We have had a few play dates to take up some time and spent time with some of our cousins too!

We are getting together with Mike's family tonight for New Years' Eve. Hopefully the weather isn't too cold so all the boys can get a good hockey game in on their homemade rink.

It's been a great year and I can only hope that 2010 is filled with as many great memories. Below are some pictures from the events listed above.

We wish you all best!
