Christmas 2008

I must admit....I was a bit nervous about Christmas this year. Money has been so tight and the kids dream of having so much....If only I had been able to see into the future I would have known that everything always turns out alright. I should have known. We were truly blessed. We have great friends, family, and ward members who look out for us.

Dakota's list of favorite gifts wasn't as short as the girls. Depends on when you asked him. His answer could have been the snowboard, the air soft gun, the pirate set, his very own MP3 (like his sisters)....you get the idea. He was pleased with everything.
















Bailey got the I-touch (wanna-be) that she has been waiting for since the beginning of December. It was a b-day/x-mas gift. It holds pictures, videos, and music. It's pretty cool. I don't know if she thought that or the $100 we gave her was better.



Tysen's favorite gift was the drums. She said that's ALL she wanted for Christmas was drums and a toothbrush.


Mike got a spotting scope and Kristen got jewelry.















We kept with the tradition and went over to my Mom & Dad's house for a wonderful "brunch" fixed by my dad. He is so great! What would we do without him? It's so nice to know that when we get there (whatever time it is) he will serve us a wonderful, warm breakfast and mom will spoil us with gifts. After we have all opened about 100 gifts from mom and dad, we always feel welcome to do whatever we want: lay down and take a nap, play with our presents, or whatever our little heart desires. Aren't we lucky to have family so close? What better Christmas gift could we get?























After all that, we went over to Mike's sisters house and had some more fun visiting and playing with the Rogers' family. It was really a great Christmas.

  3. Hey guys. I'm glad to see you got a blog up and going. I've been so bad at posting on mine. But you can get cute backgrounds for your blog at cutestblogontheblock.com Then look for the link for backgrounds or free backgrounds. I'm not sure which one it says, but there are some things you have to pay for, but there's a million free backgrounds. Hope you guys are doing well. We're putting an offer in on a house tomorrow, so we're nervous and excited. We hope it goes through and fast before the baby comes! Only 3 months to go. We're having the baby up at the Timpanogos hospital off 800 n in Orem, and it's a c section, so we'll be there for 4 days, so we'll let you know when we go in and maybe you can come see us.
