Darcy's 30th Birthday

Yes, I am officially old!! (as my daughter keeps reminding me!) My mom came out for my birthday and got a cheese cake and had the kids give me presents the night of my birthday. Scott and I were not going to cheat on our diet but you can see how well that turned out!

The Wearing Christmas 2005

We had 4 Christmases this year. The above picture is the Christmas at our house Christmas morning. Jessy and Kody had a lot of fun opening their presents from Santa and Mom and Dad. We had to talk Kody into opening the presents. He really just had no interest in it at first. He warmed up to it after a little while. Christmas morning was quite since it was just the 2 kids this year. We went up to Scott's dad's house later that day for Christmas dinner. The next day my dad came over and he played tennis with Jessy
while Kody played with Mom and Dad at the park.
New Year's weekend we drove out to California to have Christmas with my family. It was really nice to spend time this Steve, Lisa, Jim and Tammy because we don't see them very often. We really missed having Brianna but I guess we can't have everything. We have a delicious "Christmas Dinner" at my mom's. She made a Tofukey that Jessy ate and thought it was good. She is my budding vegetarian. It rained the day we had Christmas and it was really cold! Mom's heater went out the following day so we were lucky we had the dinner on the day we did!.
Kody did real well the entire trip. He did not have any problems on the drive out (because he slept the entire time ;) and had no problems sleeping at Mattie's house. The trip home was a different story but....The next morning we had breakfast together. Mom made her famous egg dish and we had cresonts and fruit. Jim and Tammy came over for that and Grandpa came up also. Over all the 4 Chritmases were a blast! A great big THANK YOU to every one that we saw or thought of us this Christmas season. I know that you all were on our minds also.
