CHRISTMAS IN MYRTLE BEACH

This was the first time we have ever been away from home on Christmas!! Grandma rented a beautiful condo for our whole family in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was nice to be able to spend the holiday with Aunt Stephanie (but we missed Indy!) It was very strange to be walking on the beach on Christmas morning, but we all enjoyed the beauty of the ocean, especially from the view out our balcony on the 11th floor! It was a great vacation!

ST. LOUIS CHRISTMAS

We left Springfield after work on Thursday night, December 21 to head down to celebrate Christmas at Papa and DD's!

WELL IT'S OFFICIAL...ADAM'S A TEENAGER NOW!

13 years our little baby boy was born...and now look at him!! Although he is quite a bit bigger than the 8 lbs, 4 oz. when he was born, he is still the cutest, funniest, sweetest and smartest boy in the world. We sometimes still can't believe we were given the gift of this wonderful child, but we still feel like the luckiest parents on earth!

After the 3rd year in a row for dinner at Palermo's, we went back to our house for presents and cherry pie for the birthday boy!Grandma and Adam

Make a wish Adam!
