 Title: 2009 Christmas Letter

 We had lots of help decorating the Christmas tree this year, when we took these photos.  From left to right: Dingo, Samantha, Neale, Claire, Fitri, Jada, Ginnie, and Amy.  For those confused about the sudden explosion in family members: we got to share our Thanksgiving with Samantha and Claire, Amy's cousins; and Fitri is our exchange student from Indonesia.
 
 Here are some photo highlights from 2009!
 
-image(img_3543)
+IMAGE(img_3543)
 
 We did a lot of home projects this year, starting with the installation of a new woodstove and roof, and also rebuilt our deck.  Neale built the hearth for the woodstove, and for a little while Ginnie got to play on it:

 Kellie and Bill Robinson-Smith came to visit for the February birthdays, and we took them to the Jemez ruins up the road:

 Ginnie graduated from the bike trailer for longer rides to a kid-back style bike that attaches to our bikes.
 
-image(img_3531)
+IMAGE(img_3531)
 
 Ginnie also tried out soccer.  She had fun for about three weeks, but four-year-olds don't really get the idea of having to share the ball, even with teammates.  She did enjoy socializing though!  And the dandelions on the field, too.
 
-image(img_3561)
+IMAGE(img_3561)
 
 In May we got to see Ginnie's ballet recital.  The kids in her class were "gumdrops" from Candyland.  
 
-image(img_3683)
+IMAGE(img_3683)
 
 Two weeks later we headed to the Pacific Northwest and got out to the beach near Astoria, and also got some good visiting in with family.  We got to join in on the annual Robinson family get-together at the Great Wolf Lodge near Olympia, where Ginnie proved to be a bit of a dare-devil on waterslides.

 Neale's sister April, her husband Dave and their daughter Ariana came to visit us for the 4th of July.  The girls had a ball together, as usual, eating popsicles and getting their faces painted at the local 4th of July celebration.

 And then came the Hailstorm from Hell.  On July 6th (I know this because of all of our insurance forms) the entire town of Los Alamos put most autobody businesses, window retailers and roofers in the black for the year.  Our car sustained some amazing dents, although no broken windows luckily.  The brand-new roof on our house was totaled, however.
 
-image(img_3941)
+IMAGE(img_3941)
 
 Ginnie and Amy spent a lot of the summer at the neighborhood pool, where Ginnie started swimming on her own this year.  Here she is, waiting for her swim teacher at the Deep End:

 Neale got more and more experienced handling the bees.  After they were delivered in the spring, the entire colony absconded from the hive (that's a fancy name for "The queen decided the hive was not to her liking, and took the entire colony with her").  Luckily, some friends of ours set us up with a nucleus, complete with comb, baby bees and honey.  
 
-image(img_4047)
+IMAGE(img_4047)
 
 In July we were asked to take in an exchange student for the year, and after some consideration decided that it would be a great experience.  Three weeks later, Fitri from Indonesia arrived.  She has adjusted very nicely, is involved in the Key Club and International Club at the high school, plans to run track in the spring, and amazingly took a Japanese class at the local college (imagine learning a new language from an English-speaking teacher, when English isn't your first language!).  Fitri has taught us a lot about her culture, and impressed us with her ability to adapt and learn.
 
 We took Fitri and Ginnie to the Dixon Apple Farm in the fall:

 We finished rebuilding the deck in September.  Next year, a railing!

 Ginnie and Fitri on Halloween:

 Amy and Ginnie have also been exploring trails around Los Alamos with friends.  The kids have a ball together on their hikes, checking out the canyons and ladders and bridges.
 
 Ginnie in some early snow on Pajarito Mountain:

 We also got Fitri out to Bandelier.  Here she is on one of the series of 4 or 5 ladders going up to the Alcove House:
 
-image(img_4276)
+IMAGE(img_4276)
 
 Amy's sister Kristen and her boyfriend Alex came to visit us for Thanksgiving.  We took them down to Alamogordo to visit our cousins, Samantha and Claire, and took the whole gang to Carlsbad Caverns.

+IMAGE(img_4324)
 
 Fitri seems to be getting a little tired here...

+IMAGE(img_4336)
 
 Kristen and Ginnie got to bond on the hike down into the caverns:
 
-image(img_4337)
+IMAGE(img_4337)
 
 Then we took everyone back to Los Alamos, where we had some great helpers putting together our Thanksgiving dinner.  It was nice to visit with Kristen and Alex, and Neale's parents Christy and Steve joined us for Thanksgiving too.  The girls also helped us decorate our tree, and the tree got its topper put on a total of three times.

 As you can see, our house has been full of busy but happy changes, and we were thrilled to welcome so many visitors this year.  Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

+
+Happy holidays to our friends and family! Here's a look back at our year
+in pictures!
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0082)

+Ginnie continues to take ballet. Here, she gets ready for her recital
+with her classmates and teacher Susan at the New Mexico Dance Theater
+studio. She loves to dance, and in August took up Irish step dancing.
+
+
+
+IMAGE(Image034)
+
+
+Fitri, our exchange student from Indonesia, was with us for half of the
+year, and we think she got to see some neat things in New Mexico while
+she was here. Here, we took the girls to the zoo in Albuquerque for a
+day trip.
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0115)
+
+
+The girls checking out some pirhanas. Turns out a lot of the animals at
+the zoo are from Indonesia...who knew.

+Ginnie and her dad at our favorite restaurant in town, the Coffeehouse
+Cafe.

+IMAGE(img_0134)
+
+
+Ginnie got to try out a climbing wall at a birthday party this year. She
+did pretty well, and reached about 2/3 of the way up the wall until it
+sloped out over her head, and got a little intimidated. Good job,
+Ginnie!
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0140)
+
+
+Fitri took advantage of the awesome snowfall we had last winter and
+built a snowman, with Ginnie and the dogs looking on. I think Jada just
+wanted the carrot.
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0143)
+
+
+The finished product!
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0190)
+
+
+Ginnie's Baga and Bada (Christy & Steve Pickett, her grandparents) took
+her to the circus for her birthday! 
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0189)
+
+
+These clowns actually look nice!
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0201)
+
+
+Bada, Ginnie's grandpa, has her convinced that their dog Loki (a little
+terrier mutt) was shot out of a cannon, like this guy, when he used to
+work at the circus. We're a little afraid of what's going to happen when
+she figures out that Loki was never actually in the circus...
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0240)
+
+
+For Ginnie's 5th birthday in February, she had a castle cake and a
+scavenger hunt. Here's a gratuitous shot of the cake Amy made...thank
+God Auntie April was there to save the day with the frosting!
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0300)
+

+Some of Ginnie's guests look for a clue in the scavenger hunt outside!
+February birthdays make it so hard to get outside...

+Ginnie and her cousin, Ariana, who came down from Denver to help
+celebrate with Auntie April. If you think Ginnie's nose looks a little
+swollen...
+
+
+
+IMAGE(img_0365)
+
+
+...that's because she landed on it after jumping off an ottoman in the
+living room and tripping on the dog in midair. Not a good thing to
+happen on the day of your birthday party! Don't worry, her nose
+recovered.

+In February Neale put on the first Tracer Fire competition at the
+Buffalo Thunder resort down the road, which is a capture the flag-style
+hacking contest. It got great reviews, and he's doing it again this
+year, with hopes to put it on for high school students in the state,
+also. Here, Amy and Ginnie help the guys run cables in the ballroom.
+

+
+
+See Jada in this picture? Every day at 7pm sharp, she walks around the
+house squeaking her squeaky toy repeatedly. That's what we get for
+having a cattle dog - everything has a routine, even her squeaking.

+Fitri had to make empanadas for her New Mexico State History class. She
+did a great job - these are fruit empanadas she's holding.

+Alamos' back gate in the spring. She stopped to eat. A lot.

+
+We went on vacation for 2 weeks in August with Kellie and Bill to visit
+some national parks and family. We stopped in Arches National Park,
+drove up through Utah and saw Yellowstone. Then we drove over to Butte,
+Montana, where we got to see Amy's Uncle Frank and Aunt Nancy. Here,

+Aunt Nancy.

+
+We went up to Glacier National Park next, which was amazing. We stayed
+at Apgar one night, and camped at Fish Creek the next. No bears! We plan
+to come back here for a longer stay. Winterkeepers, anyone? Apparently
+that job was open over at Many Glacier!
+

+
+
+
+IMAGE(IMG_1092)
+
+
+The morning we left Glacier we visited the Montana Vortex, which is just
+south of Apgar. Amy and Bill were pretty dubious about the whole thing,
+but who can resist a crooked house? And we did have fun in the end.
+Kellie volunteered to participate in some kind of Incredible Shrinking
+slab exhibit, where you somehow shrink in comparison to another person
+as you move from one side to the other. Poor guy...because of us, the
+other group members were probably less than convinced about the vortex's
+magical abilities.
+
+
+And then Ginnie started Kindergarten in August. Amy wasn't sure how much
+food she'd need for one day, so she sent enough for 10 Kindergarteners.
+That was the last time Ginnie used that lunchbox.

+be the cookie chairs, so if you want Girl Scout cookies, you know who to
+contact!
