I apologize for the delay in posting Christmas pictures. We've had a bit of a crazy holiday. After returning from our wonderful snow visit, I had strep throat. While recovering, Ben diagnosed himself with appendicitis. Doctors confirmed and surgery was that night (the 23rd). We were happy to have him home and healthy on Christmas Eve. Thanks to both sets of grands for swooping in and helping get us through.
So we'll start this (very long) post of pictures with the Allegood Christmas, which took place the weekend before the holiday.

And now it is a new year...and, oh how happy we are about this. 2009 wasn't the best of years for us. Reflecting on the year - loss of loved ones, sickness, stress, change...life, family, happiness, blessings. Much to be thankful for - here's to a wonderful 2010!
