Flashback: December 2008

All the networks are airing "decade" types of shows/specials right now. You know, "Top 10 Stories of the Decade" kinds of things. Since my synopsis of the past decade would get quite long, I thought we could at least look back at last December and see how things have changed.

(Seriously, in the year 2000 I was 16, a sophomore in high school, and Sam and I wouldn't meet until February of that year. Age 16 to 26 can be an eventful decade!)

Last Christmas with the siblings. Annie was 14 months old and I thought she'd never grow any hair (careful what you wish for!)
Anne's epic failure at trying to eat with a spoon. Now she can eat a whole cup of yogurt by herself with a spoon, and even eat a waffle with a fork!

With Opa and her new hockey jersey. So cute :)

Honestly, who is that?!? I barely remember Anne at this stage. I do know that she was just figuring out how to walk after her lack of crawling. (I also know that I love those terry-cloth pajamas. They're my fave. So snuggly.)

Here we are on Christmas Eve. Sam and I have known of Sammy's existence for about 36 hours in this photo, though we didn't share it with anyone for at least another week...Christmas is exciting enough all by itself.
