Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Walters!
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas and I think James enjoyed it too.
On Christmas Eve James helped me cook in the kitchen. He's our official taste tester!
After we had made our dinner preparations the three of us went to the park to play for a bit. James really enjoys running and I enjoyed chasing him down! 
When I took James to the park earlier this month we stayed away from the big slide. Tobias was along this time - so the only slide James went down was the big slide - and he loved it!
While James enjoyed the slide (and the sunshine), he really enjoyed the water fountain!
After the park we cleaned up and headed to church. After church we celebrated with our Sunday School teachers and their families.
Christmas morning was so much fun. Here's a picture of James with his presents. Our families and friends were so generous. Only three of those presents are from us!
James figured out how to open presents pretty quickly!
James really enjoyed his presents - especially his mower.
As a musical genius, James also enjoyed playing his xylophone.
Since balloons were such a huge hit a his birthday party, Tobias and I gave James a box of balloons for Christmas. Economical and also a lot of fun!
James also enjoyed his new bath toy.
The day after Christmas we headed down to Orlando. We stayed with dear friends, the Kellers, whom Tobias practically lived with when he was stationed in Orlando. The Kellers are active in Campus Crusade for Christ - check them out - here.
And since we were in Orlando, we decided to take a trip to Disney World. We decided on the Animal Kingdom and it was wonderful. 
Although it was crowded we all had a great time and enjoyed some wonderful family time.
Animal Kingdom had a petting zoo and James thought the goats were amazing.
While the year is about over, Tobias and I still have another reason to celebrate. December 30 is our wedding anniversary.
After such a fun year, we are so excited to see what 2009 will bring. Happy New Year!
