The End of 2009

We can hardly believe it's 2010. Our last few weeks have been so crazy with buying a house and showing our current house. Christmas and New Year's came and went quickly... too quickly!

Christmas started with Grandma Linda joining us for a tasty Chinese meal on Christmas Eve. Shanghai Garden never disappoints!

The next morning we added Grandma and Grandpa Lazar, Aunt Jennie, and Uncle Bri-Bri. We had a lovely breakfast followed by gifts. Rya was interested in the gifts, but didn't care too much about actually opening them.

That afternoon Auntie Chandra, Uncle Mike, Cousin Grace, and Cousin Emily came up to join us. We were lucky that Rya took a normal nap so she woke up in a good mood! We enjoyed some taco soup- very simple and yet still yummy! All three girls loved their gifts and played with them for awhile that evening.

New Year's Eve was spent with some old friends at Jenna's house. Jenna, Scott, and their two boys were in town for Christmas and we were so surprised to also see Amy Johnson as well. It was a great time catching up and seeing David and James. They are so sweet! Rya loved playing at their house and eating all of their delicious food (so did we!).







Rya, with all 14 bows in her hair! Silly, Daddy!
Um... yeah. This was an emergency bath in the sink after she pooped in the tub. So gross!
Where's Santa?
I heart my mommy's sunglasses!
Rya is obsessed with Taylor Swift. She watches her play the guitar and sing from a recent episode of SNL over and over. We bought the CD so she could watch some of the music videos. She isn't as impressed as we thought she'd be. There's much less of Taylor in the videos, so that's probably why. Below is a picture of us watching a Taylor video about her childhood and how much she loves her mom. Yes, I cried thinking of Rya getting older.

More sunglasses! Yay!
