Update #1

We have been soooo busy it's really hard to keep up with all we have been doing.  But I do want to document as much as I can so I am going to do 2 updates over the next few days.  I love being busy and spending so much time with family but I also want to make sure it's documented so that we can have memories forever.

Cheryl and Jim made Austin this beautiful Advent Calendar.  This year it not only counts down to Christmas but it is also counting down to the the day we go to California since we leave on Christmas Day.  He LOVES pulling out a box each morning and finding a special little prize.  Thanks again Nana and Grandpa!!!

 (Sorry for the horrible quality pics they were taken with my phone...again I REALLY need and iPhone!)

Austin had his annual Christmas Program at School.  They sang a few songs.  It was really cute.  I took a few quick pictures of him in front of our tree before we left.  He decided to be goofy...like alwasy! =)

Austin decorated a gingerbread house at Jonathan's Aunt Gingers house.  It was very fun and he did a great job!

 (Sometimes it's scary how much he looks like Andy!)

We went to Gray Family Christmas.  We had a great time.  This is the only pictures I got that day.  Austin would not put down his DS. 

 We had our first snow of the season!!!  Yes Brandy and Robyn I know this is nothing compared to what you get, but it was exciting for us.  It all melted by the time we got home but it was a pretty drive to work that morning.
