Christmas 2009

Christmas 2009 was a whirlwind! At the last minute we decided to pick up and fly to visit Tyler's parents in Seattle. For the past four years, we have been blessed to be surrounded by amazing people that are commonly referred to as "the boys". We have spent holidays most of the holidays together as a family away from family. Well... this year was different; we are all coming to the end of our time here in MT and so it seemed like everyone was going to be gone. Tomo and Abby bailed on us in the summer, Ryan just moved to LA, and Brandon and Chris were both home visiting their real families. I love all of the hustle and bustle of having the house filled with noisy, rambunctious boys who always manage to eat all of the food that I make, but with everyone gone, let's just say that I was a little sad : (

So, instead of sitting around moping, we headed off to Seattle. We had a great time! No one knew we were coming except Tyler's Tia China, who by the way is an excellent liar, I mean secret keeper! Thanks Tia China!

Maddi had so much fun playing with Devin and Jordan. She didn't know it was Christmas this year, but I have a feeling she will next year! These are just a few of the cute pics we took of her!
