Hello 2010!

Whoa...that kinda snuck up on me! I'm not much for New Year's resolutions, so I have no grand unveiling of plans for this year. What I can tell you is that I think that 2010 will hold some big decisions/changes for this little VanderKuip clan...that's all I'm saying about this new year. Some Advent reflections...I love the fact that the girls are getting older. I posted on my other blog some of my thoughts, so go there. We skyped with Hubby's extended family on the Sunday before Christmas which was both awesome and a bit heart wrenching. We skyped with his immediate family on Christmas day and saw our nieces and nephews open their gifts from us "in person" which was also cool. We spent Christmas day with my family which was good, full of food and spoiling the girls! New Year's Eve was spent with good friends and good food. We did the East Coast ball drop with the kids at 9pm which was about 10x cooler than the actual midnight celebration that the adults did...although we had fun sparkling apple juice. There is something about kids just excited about life that makes everything so much better! Here are some photos of our Advent season...Enjoy!
