Christmas 2009 was a blast in the Tormollen household. We celebrated with Evan and Kyle on the 23rd, then again on Christmas Day with Sander and then again in NY with my family. This was a year for Zoe to celebrate at her house in Boise so Matt took a few days to visit her over the break and they had a great time together skiing! Here are just a few highlights from the Holiday.
Making our Gingerbread house...thanks to Aunt Cheryl for the outfit :)
Sander and his cousin Alexa hanging out in New York.
Christmas morning fun! It was hard to get Sander to look up at the camera with so many presents to unwrap.
Sander and Alexa playing their saxophones. Grandpa enjoying his beer in the background ;)
Sander had a truck-kind of Christmas. Thanks to Pop Ed for the yellow dump trucks and Santa brought the flatbed Mac Truck.
Leaving treats for Santa and his reindeer. They were first left on the floor under the Christmas tree but we quickly decided to move them when Kirby came sniffing around :)
Christmas Morning Fun!
The Year Without Santa Claus is a favorite Christmas show in our house. To celebrate the tradition, Evan and Kyle received Heat Miser and Cold Miser t-shirts. They wore them to the airport the day they left! I wish I could have seen people's reactions to them walking together through the airport with them on :)
We made our Christmas dinner when the older boys were with us. This is from that night working in the kitchen.

I ran in the Houston Half Marathon. Here are some pictures from after the race. Matt was at the finish line with Sander cheering me on :)
Sander got his first 2 wheel bike - with training wheels of course - although he was asking us to take them off after the first day!
Strike a pose!
