We spent our first few days off, Christmas included, in Phoenix with the Smitham gang. It was wonderful to have Courtney here not only for the holiday but to get to join her in wedding dress shopping. Reese enjoyed seeing her in her "princess dress." I am also thrilled to say that he adores his "kitchen set" and proudly announced on Christmas morning "now everyone has their own kitchen." He has been busy cooking since!

The second part of holidays were spent with the Redford/Prellwitz/Phillips gang in the midwest. We spent most of our time in St. Louis, but made a brief New Year's Eve jaunt to Bloomington/Normal, Illinois to see my sister Katie and her family. It meant so much to get to see everyone this trip. Visiting the Tangeman's; little Ava!
