I am doing my annual glimpse back at the year and posting my top 10 pictures of 2009. It was really hard to narrow it down this year with such a fun, full year with Mr. Perfect. I know next year will be even harder with two more babies due this spring.
I would love to see your photos too so let me know if you decide to post your top photos of 2009. Be sure and add a short caption under each picture. This will be a great way to catch up with each other.
So starting with # 10
In January an ice-storm like no other hit our area. This is a picture of our house under layers of ice. Although beautiful it was a damaging storm. At the same time it pulled our community together with neighbors helping one another dig out from under the mess.
#9
In February I hosted the 30 year reunion of the sorority I was a member of in college. It was so much fun reconnecting with these girls. In fact we are doing it again this year!
#8
In the early Spring Mr. Perfect turned ONE! The first year with him has just flown by and has been.....well, perfect!
#7
Also in the spring Hubby took me on my Dream Vacation to Italy for my 50th birthday. We are standing by the Leaning Tour of Pisa. It was the trip of a life time.
Of course we took our best buds with us.
#6
Our trip this summer with our 3 girls and their families in Florida was a great memory. It was so much fun that I went back with my sister and parents and made some more great memories. Here is my dad chillin' out in the condo.
Isn't he handsome? :)
#5....this is getting harder to narrow down
The Chuckle Fest gang (sister and cousins) met up in Dallas for some laughs. Never a dull moment with this group.
Our kids are caring on the tradition of chuckling...
These two started the whole thing!
#4
We were all shocked to find out Mr. Perfect was going to be a big brother...AND a cousin....
These two grand babies are due this spring....3 weeks apart!
#3
A fabulous fall trip with the Chuckle Fest gang...
#2
Hubby celebrated his own 50th birthday this year too!
#1
We had a great time with family over Christmas. Mr. Perfect enjoyed his time with Grammie more than all the millions of gifts he got. He told me so himself.....in his own way of course! :)
Okay I went a tad over but you get the idea..... I could have showed you soooooo much more but I will spare you and go peek at yours. Happy New Year to you ALL!
Loved your picture year in review. I had to look twice to see if that last picture was really Mr. Perfect...he looks way to grown up! Happy New Year!

Great pictures of your memories of 2009. I can't believe how big Mr. Perfect is getting! Hope you have a Happy New Year!♥

It looks like it was a wonderful year for you and your family and friends. Mr. Perfect looks so much bigger and older in that last picture. It must be because he's going to be a big brother soon.
Happy New Year to you!

I haven't been circulating in the blogging world for a while so now I am amazed - shocked - at how Mr. Perfect has turned from a baby into a boy! Oh my! How grown up he looks! Happy New Year, Jules, to you and the wonderful family with which God has blessed you.
