Mama is 32

My birthday was super special because of all the love I got from family and friends! Mom sent us a package full of party supplies ... Jackson and Addie had a blast throwing a mini birthday bash. I got phone calls from home and my darling husband took me out to dinner with friends. Turning 32 isn't so bad! :)

January Fun

Skiing in Red Lodge for the Big Sky Smile Center holiday party.

E-A-G-L-E-S!

The kids grew beards to survive the cold Montana winter!

Speaking of Hockey ...

Check out Jackson on the ice during his games at http://www.youtube.com/user/MillsMatthews?feature=watch. He is #4. :)

Jackson's First Hockey Games!

This weekend as full of hockey games at the Miles City Jamboree! Jackson got to play in his very first games. He even scored a goal (nevermind that it was in his own team's net)! He skated so well ... way to go buddy!

Getting excited for some hockey!

Addie's got her Generals hat on!

Gearing up in the locker room. 

Cheese!

The Termites team :)

Barrie and Gary get everyone organized while Bubah and Addie help pep everyone up. 

Just look at that big boy! A hockey player!

Jackson is so proud of his medal!

He wanted me to take a close up of it!

Mills Celebrations

Christmas in Virginia!

Nana, Addie, and Jackson decorating our tree at the new house! Granddaddy and Uncle Bret got the tree for us.

Pretty girls!

Great Nana was rocking baby Anne Parker. Addie wanted to rock right beside them. 

Three rascals.

Great Nana and Great Granddaddy gave Addie a baby doll and stroller. She pushed it around the house for the rest of our visit.

Granddaddy got a Simon game, but it not as good as the original!

Jackson got a Rush Limbaugh book. Notice the confused yet excited look on his face!
