Christmas 2008

I know I am a little behind, but I guess better late than never. We has such a wonderful Christmas. Santa was so good to us this year. Parker got everything on his list!!! Maelie made a haul too. It was so nice so spend our time with family. We spent Christmas Eve with Bryan's family at his grandma's house. We had such a good time eating and visiting with each other. This year Bryan decided to dress up as Uncle Eddy. Everyone had a good laugh!!! It was an evening well spent with good company. Here are a few pictures of Christmas eve.

Christmas morning we all got ready and then headed down stairs for our own little family Christmas.

Parker was so into it this year. He wanted to open every ones presents. It a good thing his little sister was more than happy to let him help!!! The first present we open at our house each year is a gift to remind us of the Savior. This year we all got books on his birth. It has been fun teaching Parker about the true meaning of Christmas. In fact when he woke up Christmas morning he said "It's Jesus Birthday". It is nice to know that he is getting the concept of the true meaning of Christmas. Here are a few pictures of our Christmas morning.

After We opened presents at our house we headed to Bryan's Grandma's For a delicious breakfast. After that we headed to Bryan's Parents to open presents. They spoil us all. Parker got a BYU cougar jersey, a remote control car, play dough and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa. Books for Sara and Chad and a kitchen from Squirt (Elisha). He loved all the gifts and has a blast with the kitchen. We Make something in his Kitchen everyday.Maelie got toys and clothes from Grandma and and Grandpa and a cute outfit from squirt and Grandma Joyce gave Parker a cute moose shirt and Maelie a cute outfit!! Thanks to our family for making this such a great Christmas. Here are a few pictures of Bryan's family.

We then headed to my Parents house for the rest of Christmas day!!! We didn't do the traditional Turkey ham dinner this year. We decided we wanted to have Sukiyaki !!! This is a family favorite. My dad served his mission in Japan and this is stuff he ate. It is soooo good!!! We then opened presents and talked and talked. It was a lot of fun. I love being with family. Here are a few from my parents house.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we hope this new year is filled with lot of happiness!!!!
