Christmas 2009

Although the Christmas spirit was hard to find after Meme's passing, we were able to enjoy the smiles Evan had while opening his gifts. Josh set up a train set around the tree that my Aunt Linda had given Evan and he was just mesmorized by it. We eventually got him interested in opening his other gifts and he enjoyed playing with them all!

Thanksgiving 2009

We were so grateful to have Josh's family come all the way from California for Thanksgiving. We were able to rent my boss's beach house in Sandbridge for the week to accomodate everybody and it really worked out well. It was so nice and peaceful to be on the beach. We had fun all week battling eachother on the Wii and there was a pool and ping pong table downstairs that kept the guys entertained. The second to last day of the trip we ventured from the beach and went to the Nauticus museum in Norfolk. Josh and I hadn't even been there so it was new for us too. The last day we went for a long walk on the beach. Stephanie collected shells and we got some great family shots in. I'm hoping this might become a Glazier family tradition!
