Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas a little different but it was still great because we had a new addition to our little family. But during the holidays we had my father here with us until just a few days before Christmas. This year has been great because we are so close to family that we have been able to be around family for all the holidays. My dad was staying with us for awhile so we went and saw the temple lights with my dad and they are so beautiful. And we did a ginger bread house with my dad. I think he has been around every year during Christmas. He left a few days before Christmas and then we went over to Bretts family for Christmas. We live about a hour away form his family so we stayed over there for Christmas. Well somethings got a little crazy because we went and saw a movie without Bretts parents and then we get a phone call saying that Craig Bretts Father is going to the hospital. he has had so many issues with his heart and he was ion the hospital for 5 days so he missed Christmas but we went up and saw him on Christmas Eve and we had the Luke 2 story there in the hospital. After the hospital we went home to have our little families Christmas Eve and Christmas at our house.

It was fun to come home and have Christmas we enjoyed Opening up a few gifts on Christmas Eve. The kids got to open there Pjs and one gift and they both got little remote control cars. Then they woke up and we open our gifts and ran to church then we ran back over to Bretts parents house and we made Christmas dinner and opened up gifts from Brett's family even though they were still at the hospital. And then Brett's sisters family came into town and it was a whole week of fun with there cousins. When it was all over they were bored when they got back home.

Ethan played T-ball this year with one of his friends Jared it was his first time and he was a great little player. Ethan enjoyed hitting the ball and he loved his coach because it was his friends mother and she really was great with the all the kids.

Owens Baby Blessing

The week after Thanksgiving we had Owens baby blessing. And My some of my family came into town for it and it was great to have them here to be apart of such a important day for Owen. My kids were so excited to have so many cousins around not only did we have my family in town but we also have Bretts family that lives close by and so they also got to be here for the blessing. My kids were in heaven having all there cousins here and sleep over in there room and we also got to celebrate Gavins birthday when they were here so it was a wonderful weekend with family we just wish all of our family could be here together.
