Claire's first hockey game

We took Claire to her first hockey game on Friday night. There is a new AHL team called the Texas Stars who play in a new arena the city of Cedar Park built a little while back. It's about 10 minutes or so from us. Claire had a great time as we knew she would. Can't wait to go to another game!! Here are some pictures...

Christmas 2009

We drove to Colorado Springs for 2 weeks over Christmas as we have done for the past 2 years. We stayed with Mom and Bob and had a very relaxing vacation....well...I did at least. I ended up with Pneumonia a few days into our trip and spent a large portion of it laying on the couch. That was a real bummer, but otherwise we had a nice time!

We had a night out with a group of our good friends and brought Claire so everyone could see how much she has grown in a year! We visited with Grandpa at his home. We went to the cabin for Christmas and had a great time opening presents and eating like it was going out of style. Everything was soooo good!

A new annual tradition has been developing with our friends Megan and Freeman. Once again we went up to Denver to do some wine tasting at Balisteri. Then for dinner we went to the Vesta dipping grill. The food is really good and it's a cool place to hang out and have a drink. We spent New Years with Megan and Freeman at their house. We had a great time!

After New Years we headed east to Witchita,KS to visit with the other Jessica and her kids Cheyenne and Tyler. We had a great time visiting and shooting nerf darts around the house. Claire and Tyler had so much fun playing together. I need one of those nerf dart guns!

It was great seeing everyone. Sorry it took me so long to get these pictures uploaded! We hope everyone had a great holiday season!

Love,
