Living A Dream: St. Baldrick's Day & Christmas

On March 19th, 2009 Allen will once again shave his head to help raise money for kids with cancer. It's a national fundraiser that has raised over $50 million in 9 years. Allen has been growing his hair out since September, which is a couple months longer then what he did last year, so his hair should be the definition of ridiculous by the time March 19th roles around. Below are some pictures from last years event.

OTHER HAPPENINGS....

Unfortunately I was unable to go home for Christmas because of financial reasons and because I had just been in Atlanta for two weeks over Thanksgiving. Luckily though a ton of Allen's family came to town so I still got a 'family' Christmas just not with my own personal family. His family was awesome and welcomed me with open arms. Altogether we spent 3 1/2 days filled with good food, scrapbooking, & games with his family. Under the circumstances, I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas.

Soon after Christmas, Megan and Jennifer flew to town to spend a fun filled week acting like tourists....we pretty much just skied, ate, danced, and ate some more. White they were in town we all took our first trip on the new tram. The new tram takes 100 people up 4,100 vertical feet in just 9 minutes.

More photos and stories to come I promise!!! Allen got me an entire cross country ski package for Christmas (skis, bindings, boots, & poles) so I have some fun and beautiful pictures from my cross country skiing adventures.

The new tram on its way down. You can't quite tell buy Jenny is actually riding the car back down and is waving at us from the back window.
