2009? Where did 2008 go?

Good thing I have so many pictures of 2008 b/c it was so busy and hectic all I remember is being sleep deprived! We had a good Christmas break, but that went by in a flash too! Sydney is 11 months now. We are catching her standing on her own more and more, and she likes to push the kitchen chairs around. She got a push toy and ride on toy for christmas that she likes too. She is beginning to try more table foods so maybe won't be on baby food too much longer. I think Gavin may be going through another growth spurt or at least his belly grew over the holidays:) He has growth 2 inches in the last few months, now 38" tall! Gavin has shown some new skills lately....sorting 3 colors and is beginning to try to count objects. Everyone says they are beginning to understand him better too. He is anxious to get back to school this week. Here's some pics from our holidays. Whitney's present to all the All/Epp's family was Ho,Ho,Ho t-shirts...thus the group picture:)

The pictures of the kids are great. I know you must have had a great Christmas. Sorry your mom had to borrow some of your new things. I was glad she could be with us. She certainly kept the kitchen clean and the food organized.
