Updates...busy, busy, busy

Here are a few things that we've been up to these past couple months:

1. We went to San Diego in November for Lynn's prosthodontic conference :) Mom and Dad Belcher met us in Long Beach and we drove to San Diego with Grandma Ballard. We went to Legoland, ate at a super fancy restaurant, watched Lynn get an award, and went to Sea World. Thanks mom and dad for all of the fun!

Our hotel was walking distance from the bay. It was warm and beautiful!



Legoland was Porter's dream place!


Bob the Builder


Porter and Grandma rode the dinosaur roller coaster 14 times in a row. This is them after the fun!


Feeding the pigeons


Sea World...waiting for Shamu.


The only reason to go to Sea World



2. We traveled 8 hours to Janesville to spend Thanksgiving with my sister Jodie and her family. Jodie and I went to see New Moon together, we went Black friday shopping, and the kids went ice skating. We were glad to spend Thanksgiving with them and their crew.

Barry was the master turkey cooker...it was so moist!

Peeling oranges with Jodie

The kids made turkeys out of oreos, candy corn, and reeses.

3. Mom and Dad Belcher came to Columbus for an early Christmas celebration. Jodie and Barry came too! We went to the movies, ate fondue, found out we are having a baby girl, went to build-a-bear, got pedicures, and just hung out playing games.




Fondue Dipping...we liked the chocolate the best.



4. Christmas. Thanks to all of you who made our Christmas spectacular. We were spoiled this year. Thanks for the gifts! We missed spending the day with extended family, but it was nice not to have to travel in the winter weather. Super relaxing!

Looks like tons of fun with your family especially the fondue, a favorite of mine too. Congrats on your baby girl and send some of those girl vibes this way... we find out real soon what we are having and a little girl would be great :)

It looks like your holidays were wonderful! You look so cute being pregnant too!

P.S. This is probably six years too late, but have I offended you somehow? If I have I totally didn't mean to and have no idea what I did. But I have lots of great memories being your roomy and I think your family is absolutely adorable.

I just thought I'd make sure :) I haven't been able to get a hold of Shelly for years now and it got me kind of worried about you too. BUT, we're all selfish when we're engaged and I think you were an awesome roommate!
