After two weeks of constant family coming in and out, the house is super quiet. But we have lots of great memories of the 2009 holiday season. One of the best for me is extended time with both of my sisters. For my birthday, Mary (red sweats) treated us to lunch. Two days later, we took the kids to Six Flags.

I hope that, like me, you had a great Christmas and holiday season. Happy New Decade, everybody!
