The Africa trip I didn't go on...

Kristi went to South Africa as part of her MBA program this month... as you can tell she got to try out her new camera! I was a little jealous. In order to make me feel better she let me edit some of her pictures! It helped, but only a little.

Get the point! Far far away!

Seriously a safari would be so fun... maybe in my next life!

And this beautiful picture... Kristi took this picture while in Africa and sent it in to her schools contest and ended up winning first prize - it gets better... First place was $300.00!!! Oh did I mention that I did all the Photoshop touch-ups! Instead of getting part of her winnings I guess I don't owe her any royalty fees for the use of her photos. Good trade?!?

Dance Dance...

Over Christmas break we went to one of Stephanie's dance practices. The dance looked pretty awesome! They even put on their costumes for us! Go Steph!

Cute Steph!

These aren't their traditional costumes. Steph is on a Ballroom dance team, so they wear these when they dance at half time during the bball games. The school mascot is a knight - Thus the Knight in shining armor costumes?!

Spencer wanted to get into the action!

Yeah - break it down!

Christmas Break...

Stephanie painting herself and not the craft...

Games were an every night event - although I think we all got tired of Kristi kicking our trash. I swear we couldn't get a win in!
