December update, to be followed by the January Update


Yeah yeah, I know, it has been a really long time since we updated this blog. Some of my sentences might run together during this post since I'm watching the Bama-Tennessee b'ball game and watching Nicholas sleep at the same time. That's right, Brad is Mr. Mom until Thursday. More on that later. Anyways, here is a long update of December, or it might actually wind up being somewhat short.


Early December....

Let's see, that was a really long time ago. We probably were out buying Christmas presents, attending Christmas parties, and trying to keep up with Nicholas.

Cousin Mallory was in town from Florida to visit!





Christmas Break....

So, one nice thing of working at ULA vs GE is the nice long Christmas break that we get. I was actually off for 11 straight days. SWEET! So, during that time was the early Christmas with the Oglesby's/Nana Oglesby's birthday celebration (it is a celebration once you hit 50, no longer can you consider it a party), Christmas Eve at the Sherer's house, Christmas day with our families, and then the church youth trip to Gatlinburg. Sounds busy, huh? So, what we will do below is highlight these parties with a photographic representation. Hope you enjoy!

I guess you can see where my "wild" side comes from!
