Christmas 2009

January 17, 2010, by Leslie Janous

Here is a handful of photos I got over the holidays.  Unfortunately I just wasn’t on top of my game this year after my surgery.  My goal for 2010 is to be better at documenting our family!

I have to start with my favorite holiday photo! This is our sweet little Brie.  She found a candy cane one of the kids left in the floor and decided it was hers.

Our cousin, Carrie, decided to be Santa and hand out the gifts.

Brittany..always ready to tear into her gifts.  She’d been begging to open “just one gift” every day since presents were placed under the tree!

Travis was just as eager to rip into his…well…almost.  I don’t think anyone comes close to Britt!

Patiently waiting to open some presents…

Leigh and I weren’t wearing our family holiday pajamas to match everyone else.  Every year I go to great lengths searching online to find cute matching holiday pajamas for all of us.  Unfortunately, I ordered the incorrect size for Leigh and me.  They were soooo big!  Way to big to wear…sad face…

And here we have Travis… he is modeling a lovely floral print eye mask Leigh got me to help me sleep on our next flight.

Ok, so Travis LOVES Cookie Crisp…and recently he came over and had to vent because his buddy ate his box of Cookie Crisp.  It was a very big deal.  We wanted to make sure he didn’t have that problem again.

I think he’ll be good for a while…

With Travis behind the camera I was scared, but he managed to get one decent shot for me!  Thank you Trav!

Later Christmas day we celebrated with Leigh’s family.  Sadly enough this is the only photo I got while there.  It was total chaos with all of the presents!

January 3rd was my 35th birthday.  Leigh ordered a yummy strawberry layer cake for me from www.veryvera.com

It was super yummy!

Leigh and Brittany gave me this beautiful Reed & Barton silver tea & coffee service I’ve wanted for a while.  I just adore it!!!

So pretty!!!

It’s hard to believe the holidays have already come and gone.  It happened so quickly!  I am looking forward to a busy but fun 2010!  I promise I will be better at documenting our lives this year.

Happy 2010 everyone!
