Home For The Holidays

December 2009 found us blessed beyond belief. We enjoyed a whirlwind visit with family and shared Christmas with those who mean the most to us. From school and work parties to family get-togethers, a trip to Las Vegas, and even a Falcon's football game, the month flew past in a frenzy of activity. The visit ended when we pulled safely into our snowy driveway and unloaded a car full of gifts, memories and exhausted people and dogs.


Derick's Maw Maw continues to amaze us, hosting the entire clan at her house for our annual Christmas get-together.


Cousins enjoyed the highly anticipated week of playing together, first at Grandaddy's and later at Nana's. Notice Nana holding our new nephew, Warren. What a cutie--I am so glad we shared his very first Christmas.


The "kiddie" section is growing by leaps and bounds at the Dobson/Rowell gathering--a sure sign that our ornament exchanges will not grow dull anytime soon! That's Leila hidden behind her sister, Naomi, and Ramsey is the headless guy on the far right. Not pictured is our youngest addition, Marilyn Rowell.

A rare event to have all of the Rowell/Steed group together. What a treat to watch Ramsey jump into mounds of wrapping and tissue paper, a game that was far more fun than any toy he unwrapped!
