Merry Christmas!

December 23rd would have been my Dad's 64th birthday. My family came over for dinner to remember all of the wonderful times! I can't believe my Dad has been gone for almost 8 years. It feels like only yesterday. I love the traditions we have created to celebrate his memory.

Cole & I both worked Christmas Eve. After work, we went to church with Grandma Case & then headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Hickman's to celebrate Christmas with Cole's family. We had a wonderful meal, opened gifts, & enjoyed each other's company. We spent Christmas Day with my family. We met at my parent's house at 11am for breakfast & gifts. At 3pm, we went to Grandma Lu's & Pa Tony's for Christmas dinner & more gifts. We had a wonderful Christmas together!

December...

This past week I had the stomach flu. It couldn't have come at a worse time. Sunday Kyle & Heidi got married & Monday was my 26th birthday. I still made it to the wedding, but didn't get to do much celebrating on my birthday. Last night, Britt & Michael took Cole & me out to dinner for a late birthday celebration. We enjoyed great pizza at Grimaldi's!

Here are some pictures of our house...

We were able to extend our contingency period until December 23rd. We have had 3 showings this last week. Hopefully, we can get our condo rented soon!

We missed Makayla's Birthday Party last week, but got to watch her open her present last night. She is so cute & just loved her new toy!
