Christmas 2009

We were blessed this year once again to have a wonderful Christmas. I love my kids so much and I love to see the smiles on their faces when they open the presents. Tyler got a Red Rider BB Gun just like the Christmas Story movie. Degan got so many Star Wars Action figures it is ridiculous and Elora got a little Cabbage Patch baby that she adores. The boys also got sleeping bags and hydration packs so that they will be ready for camping and hiking once summer comes. My sweet hubby got me an Ipod nano so that I can take video wherever I go and Jon got a paintball gun that he bought several weeks before Christmas.

So that was our Christmas. I can't believe Christmas vacation is almost over, I am sad. Tyler goes back to school on Jan. 4th, the same day that Jon starts his new old job at Kennecott. He worked there while I was pregnant with Elora and they called and want him back. Hours suck and pay is less but in this economy he is looking for stability and doesn't know how stable his current job will be in the future.
I hope you all had a great Christmas and wish you the best new year.

December 2009

December has been a busy month so I will quickly run through the pictures.

I got to go with Tyler and all the 3rd graders on their field trip to see The Nutcracker. It was really fun, especially to be with Tyler. I even got to eat lunch with him at school.

Degan having fun being Santa...

and learning how to cut wood.

Elora in her Christmas dress that she wore to church.

My mom came to visit and Elora was glued to her.


Sitting on Santa, Elora was not too happy.

Eden was blessed.

I know I have been a total slacker lately on this blog but I have been busy. Busy with Primary, kids, housework, Christmas, learning a simple and fast way to make bread(will have to do a post about that later) and most of all finding the best deals with coupons. I know that most of you have been busy too but I am desperately needing to catch up on all your blogs so I am sorry that I can't comment on all the fun stuff that has been going on in your lives, I just have too many to read.

Back in November we had our first outdoor photo shoot with TK Design Company. She did an awesome job in my opinion especially for the $$$(of course I got a deal). So here are just some of the pictures. Love you all and have a Merry Christmas if I don't post until then.
