Christina's birthday



Our niece (Crystal and Marty's daughter) just turned one. We were all excited to watch her taste ice cream and frosting for the first time. She did not disappoint! Isn't she cute?

Happy birthday to her and to our other niece, Alexis, who just turned nine!

Brad's 24th Birthday- A Pinch to Grow an Inch

...Well hopefully not because he's already 6'2 and I'm flirting with 5'2. Anyway, on December 26th Brad turned 24!



We enjoyed a chilly morning of German pancakes, family phone calls and indoor games. The celebration continued the next day at his favorite restaurant Scalini's.

His gifts included some sweet movies, X-Box games, snazzy clothes, headphones and these white beauties (on sale).






Happy birthday to my husband!

A White Christmas...in Georgia!



I know it's a little late. But I've spent the last few weeks packing, unpacking, settling, meeting, applying, and figure-outing in a new home and a new phase of life.

My Christmas was wonderful! I went out to Atlanta a week before Brad (not fun), but I was able to make merry memories with my parents, siblings, grandparents and friends. It was so good to be with my family again! We shopped and baked and played my brother's favorite game (Monopoly) almost every night.

Finally, Brad joined me and we all partied. I feel that photojournalism is the way to go sometimes so here's my two-week, blissful Christmas break in pictures:

We had some family photos done. First: the family fishing; Second: my sisters and I!

Quality best friend time and PAN mother/daughter Christmas party with two of my high school best friends Ashlea and Heather.



Jessie didn't want us to leave. We were running late for the airport and she wouldn't get out of the car.
