Christmas 2009 - The Year of the Bike!

Santa brought Aidan an electric bike this year. After a bit of apprehension, it's become the "best present." The combination of extra wheels and the battery-powered motor makes the bike easier to ride and takes pressure off Aidan's muscles.

Aidan rode it around the front of his house, took it to Grandma Pat and Papa Bill's house for Christmas Day, and to his great-grandparents' house for the annual Mullen Christmas party.

Schneider Family Christmas Party
On December 20th, the Schneider Family gathered at Aidan's house for their annual Christmas party. Mary's kid presents - bazooka foam shooters (or something like that) were a huge success!

Mullen Family Christmas Party
Pecks, Shoemakers, Lefflers, Schneiders, Mullens, and Jessy's friend Brandy celebrated the Mullen Family Christmas at Great-Grandma Jessie and Great-Grandpa Ford's house in Stanwood.

Christmas Eve
Both sets of grandparents, two great-grandparents, Aunt Jeanette and Uncle Ford, David, Mary, Ben, Jabari, Arianna, and odell had Christmas Eve dinner at Grandma Judy's and Papa John's.

Highlights included Great-Grandpa Ford braving Cougars and Huskies by wearing his green Oregon Duck outfit, Graham wearing goggles (He was a diver...) at dinner, and Ari, Graham and Aidan playing on the new drum set.
