Christmas and Birthday 2008

CHRISTMAS 2008

After months of making stockings, and getting down to the wire of having them ready in time...they finally got hung on the 23rd. Whew! now Santa can come.

Christmas Eve and the new pajamas is always a good time (notice the pink princess and her pose)



It came, it came just the same! and of course, dad is having to put something together, but it was a toy he got, so he was having fun

The mess.....

Derek is 11
He likes to challenge me with how he wants his cake to look. Last year was a football logo and this is a hockey logo. I must say, in a picture, it looks really good

All he asked for was a purple ipod, and he got it! Happy Birthday Derek!

This is our first attempt, hopefully it will get better.

Here we are in sunny Arizona...

and a week ago we were in snowy Utah,

but I wasn't very smart and didn't take

pictures of the kids in the snow.

We were in Utah for Jeff's dad's funeral. He died very unexpectedly on December 8, 2008.

This is all of us at Thanksgiving, in Arizona

This is the funeral, led by the Salt Lake police department. Jeff's brother works for SLPD, and you can see the snow
