Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas this year. It started with the traditional PJs on Christmas Eve. They all put their jammies on and then we go in the car and look at Christmas lights.
Sometimes, it is a bit hard to figure out what to get when you have teenagers and little ones, but Santa came thru this year and everyone was happy! He brought us a Wii and the kids ALL loved it! but the even funner (is that even a word?) was going to Utah the day after Christmas to see our family! We had grandma and Grandpa playing bowling on the Wii with us. We had a great time visiting, sledding, (even though Joe broke his wrist on "Pitts" hill ) not the one in the picture below. This was just outside Uncle Michael's house, waiting to go to Pitts hill. Spencer also made a great sledding hill at Grandma's with the snow that had been shoveled off the driveway. Even the big boys had fun with it. eating, partying and visiting. What a great family we have. The kids were in hog heaven being around their cousins and grandparents for a whole week, even if the temperature was only on average 14 degrees! It did warm way up to 30 one day and the kids thought they didn't need their jackets because it was too hot! CRAZY!

Brad and Spencer went to Orem so Brad could meet Emily's sisters. Spencer went to the temple and visited with Rod and Anne and Brad and his cousin Keith had a fun time with Emily, Paul and Emily's sisters. They even got to build a snowman!! We had a great time.. now back to reality.

How fun to go visit family over Christmas! I wish my family lived farther away. Wait, that didn't come out right. :0)

You are a great friend and I can always count on you to make me smile. Thanks friend!

Karen, I never got to thank you for letting Brad come here. It was so fun, although I'm sad I miss out on the rest of the family. Merry Late Christmas!
