Saying Goodbye to 2009!

I did this on my blog last year (look at December 2008) and since I'm doing it again, I guess you can now call it a tradition!  I'm looking through my pictures from the past year and posting some of my favorites.  Not too shocking that most of them are of my nieces and nephews. Here's the last look at 2009.

Chris and I in our most serious pose!

No, she didn't have her teeth knocked out.  She was eating cherries.

In this picture, I always imagine that Kai is thinking
"Mika, get off my aunt's lap." 

That, or something is happening in his pants.

I absolutely love this shot of Trina and Kai. 

My friend Melissa with Papa Steve and Mama Sue and Masters Degree! 

Mika and Heather at her graduation.  Heather's...not Mika's.

Chris and I in Virginia.  And yes, it's true what they say.  Virginia is for lovers!

My best friend Aaron trying to take me down at Wizard Camp.  Never happen!

The gang - plus the bartender - in Hilton Head Island.
