Happy 2009!!
Our holiday adventure has been wonderful, to say the least.
We began our trip with a weekend rendevouz in Minneapolis! Although freezing cold, we had a few great days with Tim and Chan and Andy and Meg (Cali friends) to celebrate Dave's birthday. We were so nicely invited to the Murphy's Christmas gathering and had a night out on the town complete with plenty of stories for Dave's 28th. An elevator shot of all us (minus Andy) is above at the night's end. Dave was laying in the street making snow angles just moments prior to this pic. :) Quick trip but so wonderful to spend good time with such great friends!
After that, we were off to San Francisco for Christmas with the Haases! We were blessed to have the whole family there this year and just enjoyed time together baking cookies, putzing around and talking. So good to just hang out and all be in the same room together. We met Brian's family (Holly's boyfriend), which was so much fun and took some always gorgeous walks along the coast. The most exciting news we were able to confirm in person is that Megan (Dave's oldest sis) is pregnant!! This is super fun for us because there will now be cousins almost the same age! She is due at the end of July and Hannah and Haley are more than excited. I will load some pics from Cali once I steal them from my family, but for now, here is a shot of Dave and I with the Incredibles clan! We got to take a tour of Pixar, as Brian works there. What an awesome place!!
On the 26th, we left San Fran and headed for some skiing/ relaxing for Ash, in Vail, Colorado. The snow has been amazing- as everyone tells me. Here is Dave working his way through fresh powder and then another shot of me, Dad and Zeta when we went and met everyone for lunch. I am so sad to not ski, but have enjoyed a spa day with mom (although I almost passed out during my massage and had to stop!!) and just getting caught up on work and rest at the house everyday.
Last night was New Year's Eve and we brought in 2009 with some great family friends, the Creightons! Here is a belly shot with Dave and I ready to have some fun! We had a great dinner and played some games before toasting the New Year!
We are looking forward to all 2009 will bring and are so blessed to get to share it with all of you! Hugs to all- XOXO.

I love the last shot of you guys. Looks like fun and classic Tim Murphy antics. :)
OMG- Your blog kills me! Just catching up on some old posts...so funny! Ash, you look like a movie star in the photo with Zeta and Bobo... love it! Can't wait to see you and rub the belly! XOXO
Looks like you guys enjoyed yourself! I can't believe you are 8 months along, she will be here before you know it!
Wow Ash! Looks like such a fun holiday! I am just catching up on the blogs - but you look so cute and your holiday sounded amazing. Can't wait to see the little one soon!
Tell Megan congratulations for us!
We miss you guys on this side of the world - Sydney weather is amazing right now. Although we are totally bummed to have missed Beaver Creek this year. There is always next year. Or, better yet, get your butts to New Zealand in August with the little one and we will ski there!
