Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

I have two apologies to make. First, I am so sorry that I did not get my Christmas cards mailed out this year. I feel so terrible as we received many beautiful cards this year from our friends & family. Thank you all so much!! I did actually get all my thank you cards out today, so maybe I will be forgiven by those that sent Matthew gifts. Also, I apologize for not updating my blog (that means you- mom) with Christmas pictures. It has been pretty hectic around here, and now that Matthew is asleep I can finally update my blog.

Christmas was wonderful! We went to my in-law's beautiful home in Plymouth, Massachusetts, though we ended up spending Christmas Eve and Christmas night at my sister-in-law Heidi's apartment. It was a lot of fun, and we were all spoiled. Matthew had a great time playing with his cousins, aunt & uncles. Thanks for everything, Graser Family! We will be celebrating with my family at the end of January when we travel to Tennessee. I can't wait!

I have added some pictures from Christmas below. Please excuse Matthew's wild hair. Robert cut his hair last night since it was out of control. (Please look for that posting shortly.)

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We wish you all the very best in 2009! Happy New Year!!

Matthew loves his Uncle Bill! It was so sweet to see how much Matthew adores his uncle.
