Christmas Morning: Let the fun begin!

Christmas 2007!

It's interesting that it takes months to prepare for Christmas and yet only minutes for it to be over. We were lucky enough this day to make the Christmas morning excitement last for two hours! What FUN, what AVARICE, what unbridled JOY! Gathered in this picture while the anticipation of Christmas morning was high and just before we dug into the gifts are Paul & Gale, Jenny, Corby & Hayden, Mike and Jason. The only ones missing were Kitch, Angela & Jaxon. We surely missed them, but had a wonderful holiday just the same. The only sad part was how quickly the holidays flew by and how I much miss the noise, clutter and fun when my children visit. Merry Christmas to one and all, and may the new year be all that we dream and hope for!

Family home for Thanksgiving

What a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday we all enjoyed this year. As Kitch and Angela were getting on coats to leave, Jenny and Corby arrived. We managed to snap this treasure during the few minutes that overlapped when everyone was here. Mom and Jasper always make it feel like a holiday and Jason added his big heart to the festivities. Poor Mike had to work but just like the independant soldier he is, he cooked his own Thanksgiving dinner in Rexburg and managed not to burn ANYTHING! He said it was actually GOOD but missed celebrating the big TURKEY day with us! Jaxon and Hayden added the wonder and excitement that can only come from small children. It was a holiday to remember. Now with Christmas offically upon us, let me wish one and all the love and magic of the season!!!!
