A long overdue update to 2008!!

WOW!!! The holidays just zipped by me. I want so badly to stay updated for our family journal, so I print it out later. Hmmm I need to do better than this. Needless to say what an amazing end to the year. First off I wasnt pregnant, which last year I was miserable. Second I just love to see the excitement of my kids. Every year is better and better because of course they get older and understand exactly what is going on. My little Teave is just the sunshine in our home. His smiles make us all gitty. He just loves his siblings, especailly Mia. That girl can make him belly laugh so hard. Teave loves people and knows everyone adores him. Even Santa didnt scare him a bit. We have the best picture of his first Santa visit. Before we get into Christmas, we better start with the BEST Thanksgiving ever. Each year my family takes turns hosting it. This year we went to my sisters in Vegas. The sneaky girl she is told us to bring our bathing suits. Their neighbors were supposed to be out of town and told us to use their hot tub. As a complete surprise to all of us they put in a pool and hot tub. Its beautiful, and we had a blast swimming the whole time. Thanks Jaimee and Jason for the best Thanksgiving Ever.

Christmas was so great! We always go to my parents Christmas Eve for yummy food and the reading of the Bible story. I love it because the kids are older and get the true meaning of Christmas. In the morning we wait for them to come over before we even let the kids go downstairs. This Christmas though I soaked in every minute and barely took any pictures. Good thing my sister did I will have to get those later.

I truely love my family and lucky to be so IN LOVE with my husband. I have many New Years Resolutions that I hope to accomplish this year. This being one of them. My good ol online journal.

Silver missed his Kindergarten Thanksgiving feast, so he got to go to his cousins class for one.

Sorry Jason, Silvers feather is big.

Jaimee teaches Kindergarten at the same school that her son goes too. So we got to go visit her class. Silver was proud that it was his Auntie that was teaching.

Cousins made the center pieces for Thanksgiving.

The picture is kind of funny because I dont have a scanner yet so I took a picture of a picture. :)

Perfect 1st Santa picture for Teave.

Truely my BEST GIFT EVER this year.

Ohh my dear sweet Teave.

We got together with my old college roommates for a Christmas (ugly) sweater dinner. Brians sweater was awesome the lights actually twinkled. Marcae was wearing a sweater that I swore I had in Jr. High.

I wore my moms fleece jackey with embroidered snowmen and snowflakes. Silver had to work after so he got away with not dressing up.

Nates excitement was so great...he actually drove up to Ogden to get his Grandmothers sweatshirts.

Kelly won this contest. She truely had the Christmas sweater every Grandmother would want. Brickoven actually gave her a piece of pie for winning our competition.

Congratulations!
