Family Christmas 2007

I went home for Christmas to ye ole Flint, MI. It was nice to see the family again, but I was like a nomad traveling from home to home to home. It was nice this year that we were able to have a very relaxed Christmas that didn't involve us rushing around from place to place hauling gift after gift. By far, the most enjoyable experience was Guitar Hero that my sister got from her fiance Greg...hence the many many pictures of family members holding a guitar. I hope you enjoy the pictures. There wasn't any consistency, mainly a lot of random pictures.

My nieces...Sasha and Suki

Ther are no words....

Okay, so not my BEST picture by a mile, but I was having fun, despite the look of agonizing pain!

Jon & Keith's Christmas

Jon and I celebrated our 1st Christmas together. We managed to squeeze it in between his arrival back from a week long trip to CO, my insane JC Penney schedule, and my next day departure to MI. It was a ton of fun and I cleaned up like nobody's business. Jon ended up getting me leather gloves (black and brown), a Vail, CO sweatshirt, a sweater, sweat pants (designer...ha ha), and an Ipod Nano which is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!

The helicopter that Jon got as a gift from Matt. We played with it for a long, long time until a collision with a wall caused a Black Hawk Down.

A very staged reaction if you couldn't tell!

Me opening my last gift from Jon, what could it be???

My reaction was to get mad at Jon for buying me such an expensive gift (Ipod) so he caught be going Jooooooooooooooooonnnn!!!!!!

Since Jon and I are very much homebodies, we are always looking for ways to increase the excitement in our lives. We have both found we like progression pictures. Here is picture 1 of 3...me collecting ALL the wrapping paper (and there was tons of it) from our opened gifts.

Me holding the wrapping paper in a giant ball (seriously, it was a sin how many gifts we got each other).

Me throwing the paper in the air and letting it shower over us!

Okay, not our most glamorous picture, but you get the point!

Jon's an Unlce!!!

Jon's sister Jill had her first baby on 12/17/07. He was 8 lbs, 3 0zs. and his name is Cody Allan Dunham. Cody was able to celebrate his first Christmas this year and Jon was more than happy to be a part of it.

CH Robinson Christmas Party

For our CHR Holiday Party, the group of 11 of us went to the Brave New Workshop theatre and saw the funniest (seriously...it was hilarious) play - "Stuck In The Manger with you or Carol on, My Wayward Son" (I recommend this to everyone!!) and to dinner at Chino Latino! We all had a great time!! The show, food, and company were a ton of fun!
