Hello 2010!



We had a great 2009 and I know 2010 will be even better! The end of the year was very busy with the holidays and getting ready to move into our new house. We had many wonderful Christmas celebrations and even got to see Santa who is a personal friend of Papa Brouhard:) C.J. caught on to the idea of Santa very quickly and we used it to our full advantage. "Do you want me to call Santa?" became a common phrase when C.J. wasn't listening.



C.J. and Genevieve are getting so big! Genna wants to be just like her big brother. She is definitely the boss of our house. She is always eating, and if you have something she always wants " a bite" but if you try to feed her a piece she will throw a huge fit until she gets the whole thing. Her hair can finally fit into little pigtails too, that we like to call "nubs". Despite her feistiness she also loves to kiss and she's got the best kissing lips.
C.J. wants to do everything "all by myself" and he refuses to walk through any door that he did not open. This can get a little frustrating in public where the door are very heavy.


The end of the year brought some great things! Cory got promoted and we moved into our new house! We got the keys on the 29th. We did some painting and spent our first night in the house on Jan 1st. We are so grateful to our families who helped us while we waited for the house to be built, and we are so excited to have our own place again! There were some trying moments mixed in the last six months...but it was all worth it

The kids love the new house and their new room. We kept them in the same room because that's all they've known and we thought that they would miss each other.
