Christmas Tradition



A family tradition we continue is getting a yearly family caricature. This year we were in Mesa, and had the hardest time finding a place to have it drawn. Luckily, family in Arizona knew of an artist who graciously came to their home to draw this nice little picture for us. We really like it, not that it truly looks like us - it is still a caricature - but it tells a bit of a story of our trip in the little white mini van to tour parts of Arizona over Christmas break. The beautiful mountains of Sedona in the background one of the places we visited. A saguaro cactus as we drove through a forest of these on our way back to Phoenix. Alicia pregnant with our second child, and Dakota being his smiling boyish self. The most important part to me is the metal mouth smile of my beautiful wife, which represents her tolerating braces for me for over 6 months now and my future adventures towards becoming an orthodontist. Hope you like it too. It already hangs in the place of last years airbrush drawing on the wall in Dakota's room, take a look at the older posts (http://tharon-alicia.blogspot.com/2009/01/more-christmas-break-pics.html) and tell us what you think of the two in comparison. It's amazing to think that next year we there will be four of us and we'll have a 6 month old baby Girl. Yeah!
