Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009

We have had such a great year with lots of joys - the birth of Erika, Marilynn continuing to turn into a little lady, promotions for both me and Ken, and visits with family and friends throughout the year. Here's a brief recap of the year in pictures - looking forward to ringing the New Year tonight! Happy New Year everyone!
