Basketball 2009-2010

Liam has been playing extremely well in his basketball games! After a few weeks of practice, the Mount Holly Hawks played back-to-back games on Friday night and Saturday morning. Liam scored 12 points and 18 points at the Guard position for the team. He is doing a terrific job at both ends of the court playing strong defense, and making jump shots all over the place. We are excited for him and couldn't be more proud!

Christmas 2009

It was a quiet, relaxing Christmas this year. As tradition holds true, we spent Christmas Eve at Mom Mom's house enjoying Italian cuisine, and a massive pile of gifts to unwrap. Christmas morning was magic as ever, and Liam was most excited that he received everything he asked for, including golf clubs, a Panthers helmet, and an indoor basketball hoop. Thanks to all of the grandparents and friends who also sent gifts and cheer this year.

Liam's 6th Birthday Party

Liam's birthday party was at the Textile Lanes bowling alley in Belmont, NC. We had a great gathering of friends to celebrate his 6th birthday.

Disney 2009

Another great visit to Disney this year. Liam enjoyed all of his usual rides (Tomorrowland Transportation, Speedway, Buzz Lightyear, Nemo, etc). However, he took on his first "big boy" ride on the GM Test Course at Epcot. He is still not sure he liked the 60 mph, 45 degree bank at the end, but we are sure he had fun no matter what he says. He also rode the Mad Hatter (tea cups), and Pirates of the Carri bean for the first time this year.

Thanksgiving dinner at Crystal Palace was both fun and delicious, and Liam was able to meet Pooh and his friends for photo opportunities. The parks were busy, but we found our best wait times during the cold rainy nights when we could sport our Disney ponchos to protect us from the elements.

Overall, we had a great time and look forward to going back next year!

Halloween 2009

Another fun year with friends and family. We are pretty sure no doorbell went without being rung by Liam and his friends, Brandon, Bryan, Brandan, and Jacob.

2009 Soccer Season - Mount Holly Thunder

We had a great soccer season with the Mount Holly Thunder. David and Stacy thoroughly enjoyed coaching the team and the kids were teriffic! As alway, Liam was a major part of the team and scored over 9 goals for the season. We are very proud of his drive and talent!

Baltimore, MD

We had an incredible visit to Baltimore with the Gerhis family! Two Red Sox Games at Camden Yards, B&O Railroad Muesum, Maryland Science Center, and a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. Not to mention great hospitality and a win for the Ravens!
