            Merry Christmas &
               Happy New Year 2009

One of the highlights of Christmas was to see my mom play tennis on wii. 
I gave the wii for Bobby for Christmas, but it was a big hit for my mom too. she got really into it being a national ping pong champion and all.

We had a wonderful Holiday season when my parents were visiting from Finland. We enjoyed their stay here a lot and miss them now when they are gone. After visiting us they went for a week to warmer Las Vegas to visit my sister Reina and her family. We have our fair share of snow, wind and ice this Christmas, but that's ok. We were very happy that my mom and dad made the long trip to visit us. From Detroit airport it took them extra 5 hours with a shuttle to get here because it was snowing and the roads were bad, but luckily they were safe. Matthew and Timo loved seeing mummo and pappa. They also loved Christmas and opening presents. We managed to do a little nativity scene Matthew being a wise man and Timo a shephard. My dad took some pictures of all of us, and maybe I'll get them uploaded one day when I get a hold to them. Here is a lot of pictures...
I remember when my dad used to play this with me :)



Reading with mummo.

Opening first presents.

Timo played his part very well for few seconds.

Bed time stories with Daddy and Timo's favorite bear.

Matthew and Timo enjoyed making cookies.

It's the year of the Wii! That slide will see plenty of use I'm sure. Happy New Year!

Looks like you had a good Christmas. It is so much fun to have little kids for Christmas. They are so cute, and they get so excited over everything.
