| We left beautiful, sunny, 70-degree temps in
Houston to travel into snow back home in Oklahoma. Snow is no fun in
Oklahoma! We don't know how to drive on it so it's very unsafe.
Luckily we made it from the airport in Tulsa to Mom & Dad's house safely,
and it melted off the roads by Christmas Day.
We had a nice visit with my family and exchanged lots of neat gifts.
We also enjoyed a big dinner on Christmas Day, thanks to my Mom and her good
cooking.

Happy Birthday to me!

gifts?!! |

| Mom is VERY impressed with
something |
I'm just happy to be here (and spoiled by this
pile of gifts!) |

This says, "Watch your kid,
she may turn out like me" |
Everyone had to come check out Dad's big gift
from Desirae and Justin - a lift kit for his new truck. |

On Friday we took a walk on
Herbert Wyle's land in Lincoln

Here's a blurry shot of Old Main - the oldest building
at the University of Arkansas. They light it up at
Christmas time and it can be seen all over town. |

We spent a fun evening on Friday night with our
friends Andrew
& Catherine Nixon. However, I forgot to take a picture of us!
Darn it, guess we'll just have to try again next time.... |
