Christmas 2009

On Rilynn's 15-month birthday, Matt, Rilynn, Laidan & I headed back to Atlanta for the Christmas holidays. We really enjoyed spending the holidays with family and friends. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

The day after Christmas, Matt's cousin Kerry & her husband, Doug, and their 2 sons, Aaron (4) & Dain (1), stopped in for a visit. They live in Orlando and were driving through Atlanta on their way to Mississippi to visit Kerry's family.

We were so blessed to have such a wonderful Christmas surrounded by our family and friends. We hope you all were just as blessed!
