Inspired by Susie's 12 memories of 2009 (who was inspired by Stacy Julian), I put together 12 of my favourites from 2009. I know I didn't do a very good job of updating my blog in 2009. I am hoping to do better in 2010.
But, seriously, isn't he cute? Here he is with his little brother.
Caleb's preschool had "Night before Christmas" day. All the kids come to school in their pj's. Then they go to sleep. While they are 'asleep', a visitor comes to the preschool! It's such a fun day for them! Caleb's still talking about how much fun it was.
My Pre-K class had a party in the afternoon. We recited a French poem and sang a couple songs for the parents and grandparents. We had snacks and we also had a visit from the big guy! So much fun (even for the teacher)!
Today, we enjoyed our first day of Christmas holidays. We played dominoes, we cleaned the house, we ate donuts, we shovelled the driveway 3 times (lots of snow today!), we picked up our cousins at the airport. We had a great day! And we're looking forward to more fun in the days to come! Merry Christmas!
Matthew got his photos taken at school this year. We ordered a package to send out some photos to aunties and such at Christmas time. But we needed some photos of Caleb too. Grandma took Caleb to Walmart to get some photos taken, but it didn't work out.
Caleb, the little "monkey":
Notice Matthew's newly lost tooth on the bottom?
Matthew had trouble deciding what to be for Halloween. For awhile he thought that he might want to be Robin to go along with Caleb's batman. But in the end, he decided to be Superman! 
Trick or Treat! I hope you had a Super-Batastic Halloween :)
I made Caleb and Matthew batman t-shirts to wear for the party. Here they are standing in front of the batcave that Caleb got for Christmas.
Brothers
We'll remember this trip ...
because of the pool,
because we had some anxiety about our seats on the way there,
because we didn't have to carry Caleb's potty seat everywhere like last year,
because the waiter gave the boys balloons,
because the maids folded the towels fancy,
because we relaxed and had fun!
We can't wait to go back!
Let's go Matthew!
And look at this huge checkerboard! We taught Matthew to play checkers. Since we got home, he's received his own checkerboard and now we play almost every day. And it all started here.
For lunch, we would often go back to the buffet restaurant. Sometimes we would grab a burger or a hotdog at the snack bar by the beach. 
Another night, we went out for Italian. We had a bit of a later reservation so the boys were getting kind of grouchy near the end of our meal. But the food was good.
Caleb's grape juice mustache!
Rick and his morning coffee!
Now check out the kid's drink menu:
Sponge bob! Pikachu special! The boys were in heaven! They tried them all except for the Barbie Special (that's for girls). Sometimes mom and dad even got themselves a kid's drink too!
The boys had fun climbing, swinging, sliding and playing together. We just had to make sure we wore our shoes or our feet would burn! Caleb liked to climb up and slide down. Matthew liked to walk across the bridge. They both liked to swing. So much fun!
