A Very Merry Belated Christmas

Well I'm still here.  (Just in case anyone was wondering.) Geoff, Roscoe and I had a great Christmas.  It was so jam packed with family and fun we're just now starting to feel "normal" again! Since we were gone for nearly 10 days, I'll save you all the wordy details.  

 

My Birthday; pit stop in St. Joe for Chick-Fil-A

 

Went to Silver Dollar City with Mom, Dad, Hannah, Uncle Kelly, Aunt Genie, John and Julia 

 We were there for 12 hours....

 Christmas at my Parent's house

 Christmas waffles at Geoff's Parent's house

Roscoe got the most presents.

 Uncle Stan reading the Christmas Story on Christmas morning.

 Danielle's wedding preparations.

 Christmas at Grammy and Grangrad's

 Geoff is such a stud.

 Practicing for the Big Day!

 Trying not to cry or freak out.

 Geoff was probably the most handsome, good lookin man there!

 I always love time with my Grammy and Grangrad

Geoff's Birthday at Josh and Nicole's house.

It was busy, and we were tired, but it was soooo worth it! I loved being with our family.  It's times like these that really make me wish we lived closer.  I just love being around for everything.  On the same note, we were glad to get back to our place, and Roscoe was really glad to have his poop corner back.  I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas! 

Hippos Birdies

Hello probably all 10 people that read my blog! Most of you know that I'm still alive, but since I haven't blogged in like years (well years according to Roscoe's), err months I'm going to be catching you up in the next few days.  So here goes....

On December 21st, 2012 I, Holly Ann Karhoff, turned 25.  Gulp.  Normally I love Birthdays, and I stilled loved my Birthday, but 25 is really bothering me.  I'm 25...eeeww.  Now that I'm closer to 30 than 20 (mucho sad face) I've decided that its time to get some stuff done.  So, I've mad a list of 30 things I would like to do before I'm 30.  And I'm sure that this will make for interesting blogging.  I'm sharing this with you to help me be accountable and motivate me to accomplish these things.  Drum roll please!
