That afternoon Brandon got a chance to go to the Insight Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium with some other boys from church. After passing out the promotional giveaway they got to go enjoy the game.
We celebrated the new year a little early(7:30-ish) so Rachel could celebrate with us!!!
She loved all of the confetti poppers that we did and every time we shot one off and yelled "Happy New Year", she raised her hands above her head and then clapped!!!(this is the same as her touchdown dance when she watches football with Bob and Brandon)
After Rachel was done we had a friendly game of Electronic Monopoly-which Debbie won!! Then watched a movie until it was time to ring in the New Year.
The next morning Bob and I took off for a 15th Anniversary get-away (a couple days after our actual anniversary). Thanks to Aunt Cathy for coming to stay the night with the kiddos. It was so nice to get away.
When we got home we took the kids up to the park to launch rockets. We only had one land in the lake! (and this time, none on the freeway or other roads).

2009 has had some serious highs and some lows also; we have many great memories. We have been very blessed.
Here's to 2010- may it bring many more fun times together with family and friends!!!
