ISPY Awards

So last week, my company had its annual TDC (Team Development Conference). It is basically an end of the year party for the entire company. We do some team building things and some service projects. This year, it was in San Francisco. It was pretty cool. As part of this event, the ISPY Awards are given out the last night. As you can see by the name, it is similar to the ESPYs or Academy award type shows. Last year, my BYU Team won an award. So we were asked to present the award this year. We had a lot of fun with it, as the pictures will show. It was really my defining moment in life.

Christmas Vacation 2007

Our Christmas vacation 2007 was a lot of fun just relaxing at Grandma & Papa O'Bryant's house. We played a lot of Madden 2007, ate, played games, ate, played with new Christmas toys, and ate. All in all it was a lot of fun to be together and not have to go to work. Below are a few pictures from our week off.

Santa knew exactly what Jace wanted for Christmas. A training wheels bike. He road it every chance he got. Surprisingly the weather was pretty "chilly" during most of Christmas break. He also wanted a new pair of crocs, which you can see in each picture. Luckily Santa also knew that Jace is a converted Bruins fan and got him UCLA crocs.

One of the presents that Jace got from Grandma and Grandpa O'Bryant was a fireman's suit. He liked it a lot and enjoyed putting out the fires. This will come in handy now that we live in Southern California!

So Ella got her first doll for Christmas. This is baby Bella. She does almost everything: cries, laughs, and sleeps.

Fun at O'Bryant's

Learning to share!

Jace finally worked up the courage to get on Grandma and Grandpa O'Bryant's zipline (after Ella enjoyed it so much). Here is a video.

Shogun Japanese Restaurant

Alyssa's family all went to Shogun Japanese Restaurant for dinner one night while we were at their house. It is like Benihanna. It was a lot of fun until they started a huge fire at our table in front of Jace. We are guessing that he was probably crying because he forgot his firemen's suit and not because it startled him so badly ;). Here are a couple of pictures from our outing.

Papa O'Bryant!

The odd couple: Steve & Jenny.
