Christmas 2008

It all started Christmas Eve with a clogged sink! Barry and Bill made a great pair of plumbers and had it under control in no time at all! Could not resist this picture!

Mom & Dad are always amazed when we come charging in on Christmas morning! There were 29 of us there! We gave Grandma Gloria and Grandpa Jerry an empty scrapbook ~ then one at a time, starting with Aunt Linda, we presented them a page to put in it. Every grandchild had a special page, telling of their fondest memories of their grandparents. It was priceless.
G'ma Gloria said it wasn't very nice of us to make her cry on Christmas! :-)

The Sunday after Christmas, Blake, Kari & Tag came over for dinner!
These little cousins had so much fun together! They loved the dominos!

Tag was trying to get the domino buckled in his shoe!

To top it all off, Barry and I drove to St. George and spent New Year's with his mom and dad. They are the BEST! We had a great time watching football, shopping, eating and of course, Granny kicking my butt in skip bo! It's true!

Heu Lori, I've been wandering around "Blog" land and guess who I found? Your holidays seemed great. I am so happy for the peace you have in your family and the opportunity to spend time together on holidays. Looks like you had a blast. Hope the rest of the year goes as well.
