Bringing in the New Year with Friends!

It's hard to believe that it's really 2008! Time is going by so quickly!

Buddy was a little confused by all our noise makers! He was not entirely amused!

Jackson and Melissa joined us around 10:00, just in time for some guy's vs girls "Scene it?"

Kisses at midnight! ; )

Visiting Family

It was great to be back in our Hometown last week. We got a chance to see some family we hadn't seen in awhile.

Andy

Steven surprised the family and came home for Christmas. He is currently stationed in Georgia and we hadn't seen him in about 2 years so it was really great to see him.

Grandma's Birthday

It was a pleasure to get to be with Grandma on her Birthday. We took her out to dinner at Taco Loco (a local favorite) with the Ambroses. I think she felt very loved!!

Christmas Day

We spent Christmas Day at the Ambrose's house. Buddy had so much fun with all the presents he got. The best was this giant bone that one of my students gave him. He loves it!! We had a great day. We did presents and had a wonderful dinner with Grandma and Grandpa.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house. We went to church and then opened our presents. Oh, and we also ate coffee cake of course!!

The AG Christmas Party

It's an annual tradition that has been going on since High School that every Christmas I have a Christmas party at my parents house. It's always fun to see our friends that we hardly get to see during the year. This year Jackson and Melissa came early and helped Josh and I make pizza for dinner. It was so much fun cooking, eating and catching up with everyone. John and Sarah even brought their sweet little baby Nina. I hope that we will still be getting together even when we are 40 and all have kids!!

Merry Christmas!!!

This was our Christmas picture this year and yes, we are now those people who take pictures with their dog and send it out!! We actually had a lot of fun taking this picture. JD and Shelly took it for us and helped get Buddy to pose. He was so funny, he knew he was the center of attention that night, it was too cute! We really do love this little dog!

Needless to say it took several tries to get a good shot of all 3 of us!
