Low key Birthday...... just my style

On December 27th I turned 26, I am officially on my way passed mid twenties and on my next Birthday I will begin my late twenties, EEK! I know I'm not technically old but it's just surprising, how did I get here? I seem to anticipate my birthdays less but I have only had 26 and even less that I remember. Getting older is just interesting, to say the least. I can tell I'm getting older but I really like it! It's nice to go to bed early, wake up early and enjoy learning. I only wish I'd discovered it sooner. Anyway... I had a wonderful birthday with my family and spent the entire day at home playing games, all sorts. This year I received a wonderful gift, a MacBook. At 26 it's my first computer, I love it. Thanks again you guys, Love you!!!!!!

Tradition, tradition! Tradition!

We've been lucky to have our whole family together again for the holidays! Betsy and I love to joke it's our favorite time of year because people don't have excuses of other things to do, so they have to play with us. It really is the funnest time, we spend lots of time playing games, chatting, eating, laughing and my favorite, rarely leaving the house.
We have a newer family tradition where we bowl and play in the arcade at Fat Cats on Christmas Eve. It's been a lot of fun!!! Another thing we all do is get matching Christmas shirts and where them all of Christmas Eve. This year we couldn't find any that fit us all. So, I took on the task of making them. A bit harder then I thought but I think they turned out well.

Krista's 26th Birthday

Our sweet Krista Fantin came into town for her Birthday (December 22), we celebrated by having our traditional High school friend/ Birthday party. We ordered and ate Chinese as well as most people brought a treat or two to share. Including a extra fancy Birthday cake made by Shannon and Lauren. The same party routine as always..... eat, visit, eat more and visit more. We always seem to have loads to talk about, it was so much fun. We followed up the next morning by most of us going to breakfast at Blue Plate. More eating and more visiting. I can't believe I'm so lucky to have such great friends that are still close!
