Hello everyone,

Here are the last of my pictures from 2009 and some from January 2 at Greg's sister's home:

Fess is listening while Lili and Deuce read the Christmas story from Luke chapter 2 on Christmas morning.

Zoo is watching while Fess opens one of her presents.

My camera was still set on the "Night" setting, so many of our pictures didn't turn out. I still thought this was a good one of Deuce, though!

A new hat for the baby! We'll call him "Lee" for blog purposes! ;)

Zoo with his new Cars jammies!

He likes to pose for the camera! Almost always adds a little head tilt! :)

He's peeking at me from the stairway!

I think the camera flash took Lee by surprise!

Fess in her new Princess jammies.

They were all watching Polar Express in 3D with the requisite glasses!

Lili, Zoo, Fess, Lee and Deuce all in their new Christmas jammies.

Another one, just because they're all so cute!

Zoo playing with his train set that Mommy and Daddy gave him for Christmas!

I think he likes it a lot! He's still wearing the clothes he wore when we had our family pictures taken in the morning. Isn't he cute?! :)

Deuce and Bean playing with the Wii that Bean's family brought with them. That was their Christmas present to each other in their family!

Everyone gathered at Greg's sister's home for Christmas with them in the evening. That's always a very fun time!

Cousin Kyle, J.A. with Smidge, Uncle Steve, Cousin Drew and his wife Elizabeth, Me, Zoo, Fess and Lili.

Me, T.L., T with Lee, Aunt Leslie behind them, Fess, Zoo, Lili, Bug with Smidge on her lap, Bean and Deuce.

Aunt Leslie's yummy Christmas tree towers made with star shaped cookies is every one's very favorite treat! Especially for the little ones!

J.A. sharing a cookie with Smidge. Fess thinking about another one and Fenori feeding Lee.

The girls always sit together at their own special table!

Smidge really likes her new baby cousin!

Leslie making sure everything was just right. She's a wonderful hostess!

Smidge having fun with Daddy and Zoo thinking what to eat next!

Smidge taking care of Lee!

She thought he looked a little hungry! :)

The girls playing follow the leader or something similar!

Zoo liked being able to join in the fun!

Kyle is wearing a present from the girls - that's not his USUAL wardrobe accessory! :)

Zoo playing with a little Tonka car set that Uncle Steve and Aunt Leslie gave him.

Fess modeling the very cute hat and mittens she received!

All of the kids got hats and mittens from Uncle Steve and Aunt Leslie. Isn't this adorable?!

Back at T and Fenori's Smidge was wearing her new sleeper! What a great smile!

Smidge playing with Fess's new doll. It was taller than her!

We always have a very fun time at the Flater home for Christmas! The cousins love getting together and catching up with each other. It's a great time to see Drew and Elizabeth who live in California. We shouldn't wait for a whole year to do this, but everyone gets busy and time flies! :)

I will have to start with 2010 pictures soon before that gets away from me! Lots of exciting things happening this year! Stay tuned! :)

Don't forget to keep God first place in your life, then you will always have more than enough love, time and energy for everyone else important in your life! Have a very blessed 2010!

Shalom in Him,

Robin
