Wow! I knew that working full time was going to be hard, but I didn't know it would prevent me from keeping up on the blog. I will try to be better about it in 2010. Here's an attempt to get you caught up....
The Monday before Thanksgiving, Chris' dad underwent quintuple (yes, that's 5!) bypass surgery. The surgery was flawless and he is recovering like a champ. We are so grateful for modern medicine and truly had so much to be thankful for this year as we sat around the dinner table. Here he is with the girls, the day before surgery. 
And here he is with the girls 4 days post surgery. Amazing!

Seriously? How can you not love those eyes?
Alyssa is on the verge of crawling (which worked out to our advantage since she couldn't really mess with the tree all that much). However, she did scoot herself several times to explore the lights and ornaments.
We went to Warm Beach Camp to see the Christmas light display. It was amazing, although pouring rain. Alyssa was a trooper in her stroller and loved looking at all of the lights.
Mommy and Lexi rode the Polar Express around the camp
Santa came to our house on the 22nd before we headed to VancouverWe celebrated a wonderful Christmas in Vancouver with our families. Aside from both girls having fevers and Lexi getting croup, we had a great time. This was Alyssa's first Christmas. She was mostly interested in eating the wrapping paper and watching all of the chaos around her. Lexi on the otherhand is a present un-wrapping expert! It was fun for Chris and I to watch Christmas through her eyes this year. Everything was so magical and it made it that much more fun for us. We feel so fortunate to have spent the holidays with both families and cherish the memories we have made together.
Working on a gingerbread house with Grammy. Grammy did most of the work, Lexi ate most of the candy.

All of the Rosellis were in town for Christmas this year. So fun! Lots of late nights talking, playing games and watching movies.
