Holiday Update




I took a break this Christmas and spent it with family. My dad is still recovering from complications that resulted from his knee surgery so they were unable to travel down here for Christmas, so we decided to travel there for Christmas. It was so good to be around them and my dad played the perfect part of Santa Claus. Since he has been in the hospital and in rehab he has not shaven his face and has grown a very full beard. He usually is clean-shaven so it was a shock to see him all ready to play the part. We were able to snap a few pictures of Alex on Christmas Day with Papa Jung.
We left that night and came home for a few days and got ready for our next big adventure. Eric's parents traveled from Oregon to stay with us for a few days after Christmas and to help celebrate Alex's 1st birthday. After they got here we took them to San Antonio to see the temple and the downtown area. The temple is beautiful and Eric and his parents were able to go to a session there while I watched Alex. We then went to see the Alamo and take the Riverwalk tour downtown. I guess we should have checked the schedule for bowl games, because we found ourselves smack-dab in the center of a Penn State and A&M invasion. Luckily we were able to find parking and had a wonderful time there. We traveled to my parents house that night to celebrate Alex's birthday and my parents anniversary together.
Here are few pictures from our big adventures...

I'm liking your background. I should probably do something fun one of these days.

It was fun to celebrate Alex's 1st birthday with him. The lamb cake is a cute family tradition.

Hope you had a great birthday as well!

I also liked the lamb cake. I don't know what I'm going to do for Lincoln. I guess I have time to ponder that. I wonder what kind of cake eater Lincoln will be. Alex was so good manered!
