AMC's Life: December 2009

29 December 2009

Behind as usual....

So I guess I just have been terrible at updating my blog.... but have put it on my list of priorities in 2010:)

There was much to do this month with shopping, wrapping, cooking, gingerbread house/tree making, and hosting one BIG family on Christmas Even and one smaller family on Christmas Day. This past weekend we headed up to Bay City for some appointments and visiting with friends that we haven't seen in 2 years.

Today we had a visit from Guy's brother, Gary, and Shelly, Guy's sister from Florida.

There are SO MANY pictures... I really will try to get some posted real soon (however, it may have to wait until after the new year begins).

Happy New Year to all!
