Home for the Holidays!!

Love these women in my life!!!!
All my siblings and their spouses.
I turned the big "30" this last week!!! Let me tell you......I don't feel any older. I use to think that 30 years old was "old" when I was much younger. Now that I am there I think very differently. Old to me know is in your 80's. So by then I am sure I won't care what my age is.

Looking forward to many more fun birthday's.
We went to one of my favorite restaurants for my birthday. Red Robin!!! We celebrated with our friends the "Hicks."
Not the best picture of me but here I am with my family during the holidays celebrating my birthday before we left to come back to Ohio. My mom bought the cutest specially made cupcakes that were all different flavors. They were very tasty.
It snowed a lot in Utah while we were there......Loved it!!!
Went to lunch with two of my sisters, their kiddies, and my mom. It was a circus at Mimi's Cafe.
Told our parents on Christmas day that we are having a little girl. My mom got the baby her first outfit. So cute!!!! Can't wait to dress her up in it.

We spend one Saturday up at my dad's cabin and enjoyed some good sledding. I love my dad and his many tractor's and toys. He is a kid at heart.
I love this picture. Todd held on to me tight as we sled down the hill as a family.

Me and two of my sisters: Jentry, Kelsey and nephew Hunter.
Went up to Salt Lake area to see my newly wed sister's apartment and ate at Chili's.
Random picture of our cat Scout. Here he is in our suitcase hoping we will take him with us to Utah. Poor guy.
Got to see some of my friends while I was there. This is my old roommate and great friend Monica.
Some of the wives in our big group of friends. Fun to see everyone again.
These lovely ladies are the girls I grew up with and were in the same young women's group at church. We try to get together every holiday. There is about 10 of us normally.

My sweet Grandpa Olsen and his new wife.
