The Grand kids in their Christmas Eve pajamas--thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
Another nativity play and another great performance.
My Dad played the inn keeper. I think he should've been in show business.
Christmas Eve dinner (Nick's birthday too) was homemade Cafe Rio. It was delicious!

And the head cook. Thanks everyone!

A Present for me!

My friend made me this really cute apron for Christmas. I love it!

CHRISTMAS!!!

Finally, a nice big snow storm and a break from the very cold temperatures of last week. We went from sub-zero temps to mid-thirties, it is practically a heat-wave outside. It is always nice to have a white Christmas and it looks like we won't be disappointed this year. Another week of school to go, so we are not on holiday yet. On tap this week is the ward party, McKena's choir concert, and the Morrison Family party. I really do love this time of year!

Happy Birthday Colin!

Colin celebrated his 10th birthday last Sunday. Wow--crazy that this kid is 10! He is such a good boy and we love having him in our family. Karalee made a birthday dinner for the whole family so Colin got to have dinner and cake with cousins.

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

So here we are in the midst of the holiday season. We had a great and very relaxing Thanksgiving this year. We spent the day with the Hall Family and then the rest of the weekend with John's family. We played fun games, got some shopping done (at 5 a.m.!), ate too much tasty food, and most of all relaxed and visited with each other. I can't believe December is here already. The years are just flying by!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year. It was great weather, great company, and plentiful treats! It was nice to have it on a Saturday and have plenty of time to get ready for the festivities. We attended a bbq with John's brother's neighborhood, then went around their neighborhood before coming back to Lewiston and visiting the Grandparents. Kade has already finished off his candy (he didn't last for very long) but the others still have a pretty good stash.
