Most wonderful time of the year!

It's no surprise that December is my always favorite month of the year, but this December had a couple extra exciting events thrown in the mix. As I've mentioned in numerous posts, Brad finished up his final class in his MBA program but it become 100% official when his grade posted last week: he got a B! That puts his overall GPA at a 3.5 and this girl is the proudest wife on the block. Way to go, honey!

Last Thursday, my DZ little sister Stacy gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Emerson Jane Edwards, at 1:03pm! She weighed 8lbs. and was 19 3/4 inches long. We're excited to hopefully see Stacy, Paul and Emmie this week - what a wonderful Christmas gift for them!

I celebrated my 27th birthday on Monday, which thanks to my incredible husband and amazing friends, is always so special. Two of my best friends Amanda (accompanied by her wonderful husband Lenny) and Twyla came up to have dinner with Brad and I, which made for a wonderful evening. Great food, great people, great birthday!

Christmas is TODAY - woohoo! - and it gives us the opportunity to visit with family. We were hoping for a white Christmas this year but we settled for sleet and rain... ahhh, the joys of living in the south. Our family/friends in Maryland & Virginia got lots of snow last week so hopefully they're enjoying it for us. :)

We're still working on New Years plans but whatever we do, we are thrilled to see what 2010 has in store for the Stoehrs!
Hope you all have a merry Christmas!
