Christmas at the Squires'

Our little Christmas tree (one of the three we own!)

True love = Giving your spouse something you hate! (Cinnamon Bears)

Wrapping presents is an all-day ordeal for a quasi-perfectionist!

Jess was excited to get her Willow Tree Nativity

She only got the starter set of Mary/Jesus, Joseph, Shepard/Lamb, Donkey and two lambs...The rest will come!

A Quick Update (Without a Witty Title)

School has ended for both Jess and I. Jess is now off until early January. I'm off until January 19th. The best part is that as an intern, I'm covered under the school's liability. Because of this, if school is not in session, I'm not allowed to be at my internship! That means that I have five weeks of full freedom with zero-obligation! Well, not quite, but no papers to write (other than a talk for Sunday) or clients to meet with! However, I'm feeling a little under-stimulated. I'm having trouble sleeping, which I believe is because I'm just not using enough energy during the day.
The break (which officially started the 14th) has been good on the car though. So far I've only driven about 150 miles, instead of my usual 600 per week, and have yet to fill the gas tank! I think I'm kind of going through withdrawal symptoms from not being in the car so much though, sometimes I just get the itch to take a drive.
My semester went well. As expected, I procrastinated all of the major papers and such, putting them off until the last possible minute (or even a week after the last possible minute), but they all got finished. I ended up with three A's and a B+. Who knew grad school would be so easy? Okay, so it's not easy, but I'm getting through it. Only one more semester to go!
But who can really think about that anyway? The only thing I'm thinking about is enjoying my time off and spending time with family and friends during the holidays. Watch for more posts, including pictures, as the holidays progress. Merry Christmas!

Gobble, Gobble, Giggle

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Jess' Grandma's before going to Missy's house. We had a great time with family. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the week.

This isn't as easy as it looks!

I thought this was cute!

Don't worry, I asked them not to stand on the couch

Turkey boy!

Banana boy! (Love this pic)

Story time with uncle Dan. It was the epic tale of Princess Sarah-Naiya-Are-You-Crazy. Apparently Naiya disapproved of the name I selected and corrected me by saying: Princess NAIYA, are you crazy (for picking Sarah)? This made me miss my Partial Care kids.

Twin Falls

After getting my tire replaced today, I decided to take a drive around Twin Falls. Here a few shots that I took.
