Well - Chris and I finally finished all of our homestudy stuff and were "officially" approved to adopt on January 6th (we even have a certificate saying so!)
Ben turned one year old 
and grandma turned 91
took some portraits of people 
Our school put on a holiday program starring the special education department (My class was featured in the song about Kwanzaa) -the show was awesome!! 
and we made some cookies at school
and Mitsubishi, who has so generously given so much to our sped department already, gave us a Christmas party - and gave every sped student two amazing toys and gave each sped teacher awesome gifts as well!!
Alanna came down from Illinois and spent the better part of 2 weeks with us, which was awesome ... 
We took her (and Susan) to see their uncles and grandpa while she was down here too ... (one of their uncles happens to be one of my very best friends from high school)
We celebrated Christmas many times - with just us
with my parents
my mom's family
Chris's dad and family 
Chris's mom
and my great aunt
Then on New Years Eve, we gave the Brown children their Christmas gifts
and spent the night playing board games ringing in 2009.
That pretty much wraps up all that's happened in my life since the last post :-)
