A Little Taste of Christmas 2009!

Let me just start off by saying that I am so thankful for my Savior and this wonderful time of year that we can celebrate His birth. What a blessing to know His plan for each of us and KNOW that He loves us.
We had a pretty nice Christmas. We were not able to go down to Colorado to be with my family like we had planned due to car trouble. I cannot convey the drama and very upset family that we had because of it but we made the best of the situation and had a pretty nice day. The kids dressed up and did the Christmas story. Makay and Makenna were Joseph and Mary...SO CUTE!!! Poor Mark was the donkey but he did a very nice job of not bucking little Mary off. Mason and Matthew were the Shepherds and wise men, they had a busy night. I got to read the story and fix costumes the entire time but it went well and the kids enjoyed making the story personal. We had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed spending time together as a family.

Birthdays are in the Air!

So there are these two little boys in our family. One who came to our family ten years ago this month, and one who came to our family six years ago this month! They, along with their two other siblings are amazing!!! I could not have asked for better children. Plus, they are really rather cute so that kind of makes it even better. Happy birthday Mason and Makay! You two are so great and we are so happy to be their parents!

Tis the Season for Some Singing

Well, you know that you have officially arrived at the Holiday Season when the schools start to put on Christmas Programs. We got to go see Matt's and Makay's tonight. It was so cute!! They had dancing and singing. I was shocked what they were able to get Kindergartners and second graders to do. They pretended to be on the Polar Express and they all wore pajamas and slippers; it was so sweet.
