My first stop during Christmas vacation!

The Hollands being wonderful as usual! I had a blast with you guys. Justin, thank you for driving us around everywhere you are great! Katie, why won't you go get my gummi lifesavers? It's not that cold is it? Love you both!

All grown up!

I love this shot of Katie. She was a great hostess during my stay with her, I can't wait to go back. Don't tell anyone I said that it is Iowa after all!

Having a great time with my Katie!

My first official time in Iowa was great! Thank you Katie and Justin! This is Katie pre rockstar status. I love you girl!

Starting off the Holidays right!

My grandma and I starting the Christmas celebration off right. She is a wonderful woman. Love you Grandma!

A new little family???

My brother Jake with his girlfriend Erin and her little boy Blake. I think my little brother is growing up...he better keep her, she is good for him!

The lawyer in the family.

My cousin Bryan being the funny guy he is. That tie is "hot" it will surely help pick up the ladies!

Gaming in the basement.

My brother Mike and cousin Alex downstairs playing Wii to avoid all the commotion!

Doing what he does best.

My Uncle Jon giving little Blake advice on life! He is actually very good at this. I thank him for all the smart things and good advice he gives me! Love you Uncle Jon!

Watch out for Aiden.

He was on a shooting rampage! Spinning in the chair saying pewww...pfewww...pffeww!

Watching Blake.

I took Blake downstairs to play with him. I got in trouble by my Aunt Debbie because I let him have a sucker. I made her be the bad guy and take it away. She is such a bully but I love her none the less.

I had to add this picture!

Do I look like I just got up, because I did! Christmas morning, there is nothing like it. I missed it last year while I was in South Korea and will never do such a thing again. Plus I love my new iHome for my iPod! Thank you so much Santa!

My dad reliving his childhood!

My mom got my dad a horse on a stick for Christmas. He used to have one when he was little. While watching Bonanza he would ride his horsey! We all got a good laugh..... :)

My long time friend through thick and thin....

Teri and I having an early birthday dinner at Tasty Pizza North in Pequot Lakes, MN. I hadn't seen her in over a year and it had been too long. Love ya girl!

Posin' for Teri!

Really, he did what to you??

Trying to control my best friend!

Playing darts and having a great time with my Angie! I love you girl!

Our Birthday night!

Our favorite bartenders at "The Ol' Pickle Factory" in Nisswa, MN. Me, Angie, Lani and Terry having a blast!

Sweet Baby Kale.

"I am trying to get my slinky box out from under that darn TV stand. I can take time to cheese for the camera."

Love ya little buddy!

I will never eat avocado again!

I'm sorry Auntie Sara...I didn't mean to projectile vomit my dinner at you! I still love this kid with all my heart! Keri and I got a good laugh. :)

Having fun with the Wooden boys!

Enjoying the time I spend with Kale and Leif. Of course Keri, Toby and I had fun playing Wii and eating good food all night long.
