Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! It's hard to believe that 2006 is almost here . . .

We were quite spoiled again for Christmas this year (as you can see). Although, it was weird to just be the two of us! Between both of our families, we are used to quite the bustle of activity at the holidays. We certainly missed helping the nephews (and now niece) opening presents on Christmas Eve and visiting with everyone at my house on Christmas Day. I guess it was our chance to make our own traditions -- chasing Oscar around the tree . . . or perhaps Swedish meatballs (you'll have to ask Brandon about that one). Overall, it's been a good year and we are looking forward to everyone coming to visit us in 2006! Happy New Year!

The Birthday girl . . .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMIE!

Hope that you have a good day and wish that we could celebrate with you. (Brandon's dying for some poppy seed cake.) 

The Karlee I know and love

I have heard rumors that Karlee is a highly motivated and overall exemplary Dr. However, when she is on a tough rotation this is the Karlee I see the most. I would have like to find a picture without Oscar so that everyone doesn't get an Oscar overdose from this blog, but it seems that he likes to sleep as much as Karlee. I hope everyone's Christmas shopping is almost complete. Have a great Christmas... we miss you all.

Under the tree

Our tree is empty because we've been doing ONLINE shopping this year . . . which means we're going to owe our families some wrapping supplies! Have a great Sunday! 

My Christmas Present

It's a new guest bed . . . the problem? It's empty!! (hint-hint) 

Proud Uncle

Since I was having problems putting pictures on the blog, I haven't yet posted anything from our trip to Montana . . .

As you can see, Giarratana is beautiful AND we are very excited for our first niece! 

Oscar's First Snow

He was a little wary at first, but I think he's warmed up to the idea of snow. Now he keeps asking to go outside. It only snows here about every other year so we'll enjoy it while it lasts (just hope it's gone by morning!)
