Random Pictures of Christmas 2008

I get so caught up in the logistics of things

that I forget to take pictures

but here are a few of the things that we did this Christmas week.

If a picture says a thousand words.

Then write your own script for these.

Thanks for all the family and fun

Four days till Christmas

Four Days till Christmas and we are ready.

We really went all out and hung outdoor lights this year.

My Dad loves making sure we have the lights and the

tree lights on as soon as it is dark.

Nina always decorates Dad's tree.

She does an incredible job of

putting all the strings of lights on perfectly

and all the ornaments uniform.

Thanks Nina

Isaac, Jennylyn, Jaqueline, Alexandra were so happy

to arrive after the long long drive from Moscow Idaho.

They made it safe between the storms late Saturday night.

We were so happy to see them all too.

We are anxious to have all our kids here on

Christmas Eve. It has been a long time since all

of us were together. We Pray the storms and our health will hold

up so we can all be together. Hopefully Jennylyn and Chelsea won't

have to spend the whole time with morning sickness

and fighting over the bathrooms.

For my birthday I went to Elko on business with Steven.

I got to crosstitch most of the one day.

And I spent one day at the Family History Library.

I was lucky and found the will of Uncle Orrin Andrew

that I have been looking a year for.

My good friend Margaret Taylor sent me these

beautiful flowers for my birthday. Thanks Margaret.
