Throwback - Christmas Day 2012

Continuing the throwbacks...Christmas day 2012! One of the few days of the year that we have family photos. My brother wasn't back this year, so it did feel a little different. It will be difficult with both of us getting married within a year to figure out the holiday situation going forward, but hopefully we will get to spend some holidays together this year.

Throwback - Christmas Cookies 2012

In going through pictures on my camera lately, I realized I've done a really poor job of keeping this blog up and running. Although, I am unsure how far back a "throwback" post needs to be to be considered "throwback," I have no idea what else to call them so here we go!

We decided at Christmas time that we wanted to make cookies, but none of the stores we went to had the right food coloring! We ended up with Valentine's/Easter colored cookies, but they were still a lot of fun to make and delicious. The last one is supposed to be Kirin... :]

Daily Life

Haven't been much going on around here, just the usual daily life consisting of working, eating, sleeping, and walking the pup pictured above. We've been going on more daily walks to ensure the bub is getting enough exercise. How far we walk is completely dependent on her mood, but we're usually able to make it fairly far.

We're planning a trip to Asia in October, but before that we have a couple of weddings. Julia & Ben's the first weekend of May and my brother's the last weekend of May! After reading my brother and his fiancee's wedding site, I already know I'm going to cry at their wedding. I'm so happy (although, I feel "happy" doesn't begin to describe it)  that he has found someone who makes him happy and has been so supportive of him during his time away in medical school. Really excited for both weddings!
