A Sunny Day Is A Gift

Wow, I can't believe it is already February. It seems like the new year is flying by. My nephew, Braydon, is going to be turning 1 year old in April. It seemed like he was born yesterday.

Today was a beautiful sunny day. So beautiful, in fact, that I washed my car. It might not sound like a monumental event but believe me, IT IS.

I've been watching The Olympics lately, and have gotten quite addicted. Last night's coverage was SO intense. Lindsey Vonn won gold after some massive crashes by the other women skiers and on an injured shin. Then, Shuan White pulled a massive trick to win gold on the half pipe. AMAZING.

Thanksgiving 2009

Wednesday was the last work day of the week and it was only a half day for me, because of school. Amanda and AJ drove down from Portland, so I went over to see them and we baked (Amanda made pumpkin rolls and I made Oreo truffles) and watched Glee. I didn't end up getting home until around 2am.

I slept in pretty late the next day, which I feel crappy about because I missed going over to my Grandma Roggasch's and my cousins were down from Washington. I made brussel sprouts with dried cranberries for my side dish and went to my Grandma Kleyne's around 4:30pm. Dinner there was fine, but I was a little grouchy (I always get that way though when all my family is together). After dinner I met up with the Brittons (Amanda, Ashton, Christian and Billy) and AJ to see "The Blind Side". It was a really good movie, moving and inspiring.

Today is Black Friday, so I am staying home to avoid all the crazies. Kelly is having a little get together tonight I might end up going to, depending on my mood and tomorrow I might go shopping with Amanda, Sonya and her mama, Donna.

All and all, this Thanksgiving hasn't been to bad. I even managed to get started on my Christmas shopping Wednesday so I can avoid that last minute dash. :)

Updated pictures of Braydon

I can't believe my nephew is already 6 months old! He just started crawling and is still just the best little guy ever. He is so good and calm and smiley. Here are some pictures of him from Halloween.
