Christmas 2009...

This year for Christmas we went down to Ohio to visit family!

Our first Christmas celebration was on Christmas Eve with the Fellners!

Brian's Uncle Al printed an amazing picture of Brian's big fish he caught in Canada last summer..too cool!

We were also able to visit with Grandma Fellner!
We love you Grandma!

And of course we got to hang out with Emily, Macy & Nolan..our cute nieces & nephew!

Here they are Christmas morning! Santa came and we got an early wake up call from the munchkins to open presents!

Then we headed to celebrate Christmas with the Bienias's!

The Bienias Family! Another fun Christmas celebration!

Christy & Brian

A little "warm-up"...cheers!

Of course..let the rivalry begin again!

The coolest "outlaws"..Jason & I.

Then we headed back to celebrate Christmas with the Hall's! And during the traditional dice game..I always seem to find the funny hat! This year it was a snowman headband!

What a GREAT fun filled Christmas with our Ohio family! We love you all!!

BUT..the fun doesn't end there! After all the festivities the ladies & gents went their separate ways on Saturday...the ladies to the spa!! And the guys to the bar!

LaNay & I enjoying our pedicures & facial!

So while the ladies ended up with pretty faces & toes...the men came back with
a mean hangover! Hence the picture above..Brian after his Saturday fun!! haha!

The Cook's House Holiday Party...

As is tradition with our TC group of friends, we had our annual Christmas dinner!

This year we held it @ the Cook's House restaurant, a cute little boutique restaurant that only had enough room for our group!

It was a fabulous time & great food, a delicious seven course meal!

Tricia & I

We had the place to ourselves. When I walked in the door I said, "there is nothing like walking into a restaurant and knowing ever single person there!"

Brian & I are SO blessed to have an amazing group of friends...they truly are like family to us!

We love you all!

Christmas at the McClatchey's...

This year we are headed to Ohio for Christmas so we celebrated with my parents a little early! Mom had the house decorated beautifully, we watched Christmas Vacation, had a yummy bunch and opened gifts! It was great and definitely got us in the Christmas spirit! Thanks Mom & Dad!

We is reindeer Webster wishing you a Merry little Christmas too!!

Ho Ho Home Improvements...

Santa came a little earlier this year in the form of ho ho home improvements! I guess when you are a home owners your presents change a little...

The bathroom tub was in need of a little upgrade..SO we decided to do just that.

That involved ripping out the old tub and walls....scary!

And tiling new walls, new tub and fixtures!

The only thing that we were picky about was the rain show head..and for those of you that have taken a shower in our shower you know why - it is awesome!

So this little project turned out great! And the new shower looks great! Thanks Santa :)

Tis the Season...

The holiday season is here..and so is the snow! This past week we celebrated our girls night "holiday edition"!

That same night Brian was ringing the bell for the Salvation Army across the street from where we were eating dinner...

We stopped over to shower him with Christmas spirit and of course money!

We have gotten a lot of snow recently!

Check back for some snow update pictures soon...
