We Did It!

Remember when I said we only had 68 days left of trauma...well guess what, we're done! (well at least at some point today, when Ry comes home, we'll be done!!!)

To celebrate, we'll be spending the next 7 days here - at a villa in the Dominican Republic :) To get ready, I've been Tanned, Sprayed, Waxed, Dyed, and Painted. It takes a whole village to get me tropical :) More pics to come!

btw - anyone watching 24? I loved the first 4 season, but hated season 5...really liking this new season though! Seems like having a year and a half off really helped the writing!

A Colorado New Year

Ryan and I flew to Colorado over New Year's and went skiing with some of his family. We skied at Cooper Mountain and Breckenridge. Both days were awesome!!!

Everyone cool wears a helmet these days!!!

Good times with the fam!

Hartman Annual Gingerbread Party

Every year we try to have a Gingerbread Party (thanks to Ryan's mom for the idea many years ago!) We start the evening with homemade soup and then let the decorating begin. I used to bake the gingerbread houses from scatch, but wised up this year and bought them at Michael's! (So much easier! :) We had a few friends over and had a blast decorating the houses!!!

Gingerbread Party Part 2

And here is the end result! A big mess and very cute houses!!! Thanks to the Bateman's and Rich's for making the evening so fun!
