Christmas 2007

Since we didn't get Christmas cards sent out this year (shocking, I know!) for the first time since we moved to Vegas, this pretty much sums it up.......

The kids opened their new pajamas on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, they were so excited to see Santa brought them a new swing set, along with some toys. Cade got a ton of BYU stuff, and he kept saying this was the best christmas ever! Haylee got her own scrapbook kit, and can't wait to scrapbook with me. Evan was completely content sitting in his new saucer chair eating smarties while the other kids opened their presents. Kendal pretty much slept the whole time in my arms.

We have so much to be thankful for this time of year, especially with all that has happened lately. The Lord has blessed our lives in so many ways, and we truly count our blessings each day. We hope each of you had a wonderful christmas, and we are grateful for your love and friendship!

Polar Express

We went to Williams Arizona to ride on the Polar Express. The kids had so much fun (and so did the parents). We went with some friends, and it is definately going to be a family tradition every year now. We were served hot chocolate and cookies, and they read the Polar Express book to us as the train took us to the North Pole. Once we were there, we saw Santa in his sleigh, with his reindeer, and his elves. The kids all had their noses pressed against the windows, and were freaking out to see Santa! When it was time to go back, we got to pass the North Pole once more, but this time Santa was gone. Then, all of the sudden, Santa was on the train with us!! He came and said hello to all the kids, and gave them each a bell. The rest of the ride back, everyone was singing Christmas carols. Cade was the first kid to volunteer to go up and lead everyone in singing Rudolph.
