Family Christmas Party at Grandma Esplin's

 

 

 

 

We had our Christmas Eve Party early this year, because Wyatt's Brother was in town. It is so fun to celebrate. We had yummy cheeseball, veggie tray, broccoli soup, and of course Wyatt's mom's homemade doughnuts(tradition). Everything was delicious. Then the kids did the nativity. Adri was Mary and the boys were shepherds. After that the kids got to open their cousin gifts, and the ones from their Grandma. Chase got a darling Mickey Mouse pillow. Garrett and Brody got fleece blankets of their favorite football teams(made by Grandma). Adri got a princess dish set, complete with bowl, plate and cup. It is always so wonderful to be with our family. I love this time of year so that we can focus also on our Savior and his life, and gift to us.

Visiting with Santa

 

 

Santa came to our Ward Christmas Party last Saturday. Adri and Brody sat on his lap to tell them what they wanted, but Chase wouldn't go anywhere near him. I guess Garrett thinks he is getting too big for Santa's lap. Anyway I love the magic at Christmas Time.

Garrett's Christmas Program

 

 

Garrett's sixth grade did a Christmas program this year. They sang a lot of fun songs, had dancers, and different parts. Garrett was in the choir, and stage crew. It was fun to go and watch the kids perform.

Our Year in Review 2008

 

I made a collage of our pictures to put on the back of our Christmas letter. It is fun to look back and see how much everyone has changed this year. Our kids are growing so fast.

Happy Thanksgiving

 

 

 

 

We have a lot to be thankful for this year, (just look at these gorgeous kids.) We had a great time celebrating with Wyatt's mom, his sister Amber and her family, Vance and his family, and our niece Kylie. Family is the greatest thing in the world. We are both so blessed to come from such great ones. I love the holidays! Fun! Fun! Fun!
