Every year we get together and do Christmas with all of my dad's brother's and sisters and their kids. It is always so amazing how many of us show up every year. I would love to applaud my grandmother for never giving up on getting us together every year. It is always so much fun and great to see everyone. That is the best part of all of it.
Christmas Morning. We had such a good morning other than the kids got us up at 4:30 am. That was the worst part of it. We were so ready for bed when it came time to go to sleep. The kids loved it. They got a Wii and still love playing with it.
We did dinner on Christmas Eve. We have done it that way for the last couple of Christmas' . The kids loved it because there dad got to be home. He was spending weeks at a time at work while we lived in Sigurd. It all worked out for the best.
Ok so I am getting inpatient trying to find the pictures I want to put on my blog so this is what I have come up with so far. This are just three of the five cute nieces I have. The one on the top is Jayla, then it is Vanessa, I loved that picture. The last one is baby Sophia it is old, but I don't have a lot of pictures of her yet. Working on it but I was just getting impatient. Ok so I am going to start something new. I am going to post at least once a week because I am not so good at this posting thing and I am going to do it on Sunday mornings because we don't have church until one. Someone needs to keep me on my toes when I don't. For the next couple of weeks it will be getting caught up on Christmas and then our trip to Cali that we just got back from and then it will be a couple of weddings and my dad's b-day so it should be good for about the next month.

Cooper is our typical little boy. He loves to play outside and get very dirty. His dad has taught him well. He is seven years old and is looking forward to getting baptized next year. When first asked who was going to baptize him he responded Uncle Jake. He has since decided that Dad is a good option too. He arrived in our life July 23, 2001. He was a very good baby and not one for to much attention he has been that way ever since. He has such a tender heart and makes friends with everyone. He loves being in 2nd grade, and reading.

Cloey
Is is our fun loving 5 year old. She makes life so much fun. She entered our home on April 27, 2003. She has been a handful every since. She loves taking dance. This year she started Kindergarten and is loving every minute of. The other day I wanted her to stay at home sick and she wanted to go because she was afraid her friends at school would worry about her.
