A Night with Friends/Aunt Katie Babysits

Tonight we went to dinner with some friends from high school. This was our 15th year to get together at Christmas time. We met at the Cheesecake Factory and had a fun time reminiscing about the "good ol' days" and sharing what we've done over the past year. Nathan, Becky, and I have been friends since kindergarten. We met Melissa in 5th grade, and Chris and Aaron were added to the group in high school. Two couples were missing, but we're hoping that they can join us again next year.

While we were gone, Aunt Katie spent the evening with the kiddos. They absolutely love spending time with her!
