Buzz Cut

Daddy tries his hand at an at-home haircut. Not too bad. Right?

Hayden's Birthday Party

Hayden (Zander's brother) turned 1 year old and the birthday party was a chance for the old playgroup friends to get together. The boys don't see each other as often as they use to so these opportunities are nice.

Rollin' with the punches...

According to Aaron, when ya have a bad day... there's nothing like a good dolphin photo to lift your spirits.

Happy Birthday Dad (Grandpa)!

Dad finally took the big leap into the world of the iPod and discovered the joys of iTunes, digital music, and Podcasts. My mom suspects the house is going to be a lot quieter now.

The picture above was to demonstrate how I can instantly post to this blog via my iPhone. I love technology!!!

Grandma & Grandpa's Christmas Gift

Rather than a traditional Christmas gift this year, we took Grandma and Grandpa on a family trip to Disneyland. They hadn't been there in over 20 years.



Aaron's cousin Brianna joined us as well.



The classic submarine ride has finally re-0pened with a Finding Nemo theme. It was the ride Aaron wanted to go on most (Daddy too! My favorite as a child).



The wait in line was far too long but the ride was great.

Petting zoo

The strip mall across the street has a petting zoo from time to time to draw in customers. Aaron and I took a walk over today; he particularly liked the kangaroo.

Getting the Christmas Tree

It never fails that the day we get our tree is always the warmest day of December.



Selecting and decorating a tree is more of an "art" for Bridget so Aaron and I default to her expertise. We pretend we're reindeer and play hide-and-seek.



Getting the tree home is just the beginning. Decorating fills up the rest of the day!
