Greetings from Osseo, Wisconsin. We have had quite the year. Well, actually it has been the very best year of our lives. Gracelyn has given our lives a whole new meaning. Being "Mommy" and "Daddy" are not only our new identities but those roles have changed our lives. It has been wonderful. Spending the holidays with our new family was soooo much fun! Gracelyn is at such a wonderful age. She laughs more, dances when she hears music, rolls around on the floor, sings, talks our ears off, and she melts our hearts with her gorgeous smile. Gracelyn also got to meet her Uncle Brian for the first time over the holidays. She loved him!! In the first picture Gracelyn is sitting with Brian. We had five Christmas's! I will explain the pictures below as best as I can. The first christmas was the Gunderson Christmas (Ben's Mom's Family). What a goofball, my husband. The second (but 3rd picture) was Ben's immediate family christmas. Gracelyn received a monkey the size of Texas from her uncles - Brad and Barrett (also her Godfathers). The next Christmas was the Hanson Christmas (My Mom's Family). That is my beautiful cousin Lora posing with Gracelyn and I. Britt was sick so no Brittany or dad at this christmas:-( We missed them! Then Christmas with the Torud's (My dad's family) P.S. Gracelyn LOVES Pickles. (Notice the picture) My immediate family christmas was next! It was so fun just hanging out with my family. We don't get to do that enough! By the way...the cute red head in the pictures below is none other than my nephew - Camden Michael. Happy 2010!
