These are the only pictures we took while we were in FL visiting family for over 10 days. I was sick even before we left Canada and have just recently gotten better after 2 rounds of antibiotics. I was miserable our whole vacation :-( Flying was no fun with a double ear infection!
Anyway, we decided to go ahead and celebrate Christmas with Nate and Aren while we were there. Mom is visiting us now and Dad is visiting in Dec. so we will have Christmas with them later. Dad made a big Christmas dinner and we all enjoyed each others company.
Nate and I took a picture of each other :-) He's the best baby brother ever!

My Dad. He's the best father ever! He's done so much for all of us our whole life and would give and take care of us if it meant everything he had. Dad is coming to visit in December. Unfortunately, William won't be here except for two days :-( He has training at Ft. Richardson in Anchorage and will be gone from Dec. 1st-18th.

Nate and Aren.

Me and William.

William, Dad, me, and Nate. As you can see, William enjoyed his leave by the fact that he didn't have to shave every day. I, however, was looking forward to him going back to work ONLY for that reason! I don't like scruffiness, ha!

Aren, me, Dad, and Nate.

Nate, me, and Dad.

Opening our Christmas present from Nate.

Nate gave us the DVD, "The Boy In the Striped Pajamas."

Aren with her present from us.

We gave Aren a Petsmart gift card so she could buy stuff for Kitty :-)

Nate opening his presents.


We gave Nate a Sports Authority gift card, money, and a "Nightmare Before Christmas" remake sound track.



Dad gave each couple a 3-D pop-up book called "The First Noel." I can't wait to get it out for Christmas!

We decided that I am going to "attempt" to cut William's hair every two weeks to save some money. We bought clippers and this is the first time I cut his hair. I did a great job somehow. Unfortunately, once we got back home I gave him another haircut and didn't have as much luck. I wanted to quit halfway through and cry, lol! At least William is very understanding and if I end up shaving his head someday he's completely fine with it!

Ha, William tried to cover up his boxers so that it appeared that I was cutting his hair while he was naked.
