Nathan Nikki News: December birthdays...

So here's my best attempt to play catch up=>

We've had a very exciting December this year....Everything from Santa Clause pics, shopping, birthdays, decorations, presents......etc.

Something that was very exciting this month was mine and Shelby's birthday. Mine.....not all that exciting b/c of course who looks forward to getting older right? but Shelby's was definately exciting. Speaking of getting older why is it we can't wait when we're younger.....if only we were 12 and in Young womens, if only we were 14 in high school, if only we were 16 and able to drive and date.....and so on and so on and now as I'm rounding up my 20's I'm freaking out. What is it about turning 30 that everyone dreads so much???

So I turned the big 29, Dec. 4th. I've decided I was going to start embracing this, it's not like I can change it right? AND plus when I'm in my 40's or 50's I'll be wishing I was back in my 20's or 30's. I'll think it's ridiculous that I ever thought 29 was old.....And so I'm excited that I'm ONLY 29, YAY!!!

This year was a special year also b/c our little princess turned 1, how is it that a year can go by so fast.....she was just a newborn. Shelby's birthday is very special b/c she shares it with her Grandma Abraham. This year in particular was very special b/c Shelby got to spend it with her Grandma....as a surprise. The Abraham family all got together and surprised Sydney.

Here's some pictures of all the good times....

Birthday girls

Out to eat with the fam for our birthdays.
By the way as part of Grandma Abes present all of her children flew out to surprise her. I thought it would be special for Shelby if she could spend it with her Grandma since they do share a birthday......however that means Ethan and I would be left in Utah to fend for ourselves....and on my birthday too. It turned out to be just fine. Ethan and I had a great time with the house to ourselves and I got to go out on a few dates with my little man Etom. I really enjoyed my alone time with Ethan and I think he enjoyed the attention too. However I didn't have a camera so I don't really have any pictures of our partying or dates. But we had a wonderful time together :) I'm so glad I have such a little gentlemen for a 3 year old.
