Update in Pictures

None of these pictures are really that great, and they were spaced out few and far between the last couple months, but for record-keeping purposes, here they are.

Christmas Eve dinner with all of my family, minus the Holts. We had our traditional soup, salad, Christmas jello, and rolls.

Christmas morning: Santa brought Darren (and Jerry) nerf guns, a spiderman punching bag, and a camera. He brought a barbie doll house with furniture and a wedding Barbie for Claire, and a parking garage with lots of cars for Miles. They have had fun playing with these and all the toys they got from everyone else. Miles especially loves his mop and broom cleaning set!

Darren got this cute cowboy hat from Aunt Christina. Miles doesn't let him wear it very often.

Santa also brought our family a trampoline. We have all had fun on it. This is Miles with his friend Natalie.

All of the kids getting ready for bed on New Year's Eve at the Sheppard's. This was one of our most fun New Year's Eve Parties.
Last week I turned 28! Miles also had four teeth come in last week. Now he has 10 sweet teeth. As you can see, he doesn't have any problem eating birthday cake.

We ate out twice -Cheesecake Factory and Spring Creek BBQ, and I got a pedicure. On Friday, my friend Tiffany hosted a birthday brunch for me. Except for getting older, it was a great birthday! Thanks for all the birthday cards, phone calls, and e-mails.

The following Sunday, my family came up for dinner. We also got to see my cousin Reed, who has been living here temporarily.

Truly, the best Christmas and birthday gifts this year were spending time with family and friends!
