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!

Pre-Christmas 2008

Nikki, Mayli and Tori flew in on Sunday, December 14! We were SO excited to see them!

These are my angels in front of the Christmas tree.

THAT'S what I want for Christmas!

Mayli LOVED Santa! She told him that he only had to get her 2 presents, because her mom and dad wanted to get her some stuff too! She's a crack up!

Tori................ well, not so much! This is the picture right before she started crying like crazy!

It was classic!

These are the best candy canes EVER!

Aren't these HUGE ornaments the greatest! We loved them!

Not to mention the cutest girls EVER!

Grammie and her sweet grandbabies! Gotta love it!

What a couple of cuties!

This is my new puppy, Maynard! She is pretty silly!

Tori discovered that she could poke stuff through the holes in her pacifier! She looked like this all morning! I wish I had taken a picture of the pencil poking through there too! What a nut!

I'm Very Thankful...............

I don't even know where to start when it comes to listing the things I'm so thankful for!

The Countdown................

We are starting the first of the "lasts". This is Catherine at her LAST Young Women in Excellence. I'm SO SAD about it too. :-(

The middle star on the top is Catherine! The evening was really nice. All the girls were beautiful - in their pictures - and in real life!

Catherine kept shaking her head "no" at me, hoping I wouldn't take a picture, but seriously what mom could resist snapping a picture of her beautiful daughter singing at her LAST Young Women in Excellence?? Obviously, not me! I love you Cath!
