Its finally Christmas!!

This was one of the highlight gifts for Ken. He had not a clue that he was getting this and I think it made his Christmas. Now we just have to wait for the snow to melt off the patio so we can use it.

Can't open gifts without that cup of Hot chocolate.

We really enjoyed our day together just the 2 of us.

It was weird not having any kids but sure was nice to just

take our time to open presents.

Christmas Eve 2009

We read the story out of the scriptures.

Carissa Had a great time

Just hanging out having a great time.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. I think we will have it this year!! Hope you all stay nice
and toasty and enjoy the softly falling snow while sipping your hot chocolate.

Bless all of our brave military that are away from their families at this time of year. Thank you so much for your service.

The real reason of Christmas

I love this time of year to be able to reflect on our Saviors birth. I love this picture and keep it displayed year round to remind me of our Savior. I am so glad we were able to get the grandkids together to be able to make this special picture for all to enjoy especially you mom.

Precious moments

Willow tree collection

May you enjoy in the spirit of the season and remember the real reason for the season

Merry Christmas

The tree is up and decorated

The presents are wrapped and under the tree

The stockings are hung on the stairs with care

Even the mailbox is empty of all our wonderful Christmas cards we have recieved. The bear is watching for any last minute cards that are still in the mail.

The snowmen are ready for the Frosty weather.

The wreaths are hung and awaiting any guests that choose to visit.

We want to wish you a Merry Christmas and would love to see you.

Can you get any Funnier??

My cousin's are so fun to be around. I love how they make me laugh.

Carrissa and Brielle I told you I would put this on my blog just for you!!

Family

Here is a picture from my Grandma's 80th birthday brunch. If we had many more family members there I don't think we would have fit. I love the look Grace has. This makes me smile everytime. I also like the way she has her feet on her mom. This is one of my favorite pictures of William. I haven't gotten a picture with him smiling this good in a long time.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween with the cousins. The pictures are a little out of order but here are my nieces sword fighting.

The teenagers went with a very happy Joseph who was one cute puppy named Blue (from Blue's Clue).

The Three musketeers. My nieces and a friend went as the Three Musketeers.

Emma was Alphba from Wicked. She really loves the play and will get to be in it this spring with her community Acting Group. I am so excited for her.

Pumpkin Carving

We got to spend Halloween in Utah this year. We had lots of Family activities planned and this was just one of the many.

This is my cousin Jacob. I love his expression. Grace is taping on her design so she can carve up her pumpkin.

Here is Olivia and Robin working away on their pumpkins.

William and Emma didn't know I was taking this until after. I wanted to show how hard they were working on their pumkins.
