A fun ending to 2008

We had a wonderful CRAZY busy Holiday season. The weeks before Christmas was very busy with party's and preparation for Christmas, but we made it through. Here is a run down starting with New Years.
Every New Years we go out to the Frei's house for food and tons of fun. My girls look forward to it ever year.



On Saturday night Dec 27th Grandma Coleen decided she wanted to have a sleep over with all of the grandkids. Of course us parents thought that was a great idea.






On Saturday Dec 27th my sister Tianna blessed her sweet baby boy Joshua at her husbands parents house. Beau gave josh a great blessing.




The day after Christmas we headed up to Cedar City to see my grandpa Hulet. This was the first Christmas without my grandma which was really hard, but we managed to make the best of it with lots of visiting and fun in the snow.





We were alittle nervous that Santa clause wasn't going to find the kids this year, but he did and of course they were spoiled. We had a great Christmas Shawn surprised me with a Nikon D 60 camera which has been a ton of fun. I still have alot to learn with it but hopefully soon I will be taking some cool pictures.



Christmas Eve this year was at my house. We had almost all the Tobler's and My parents and grandparents over for Mexican food. After dinner the kids act out the nativity then they open one present which is always PJ's. This year grandma Coleen got all the girls High School Musical Pajama's. They thought that was really cool.



As a tradition the Sunday before Christmas the girls get new dresses. This year I was really excited because I was able to find them matching skirts and shirts. Every year it get harder to find them matching stuff because Kylee is getting so big.
Sophie was really excited this year to have her very own Christmas party. Julie got a bunch of kids together and had them make gingerbread houses out of gram crackers. As you can tell Sophie had a blasted. It was a couple weeks after Christmas before she let me throw her house away.

As you can see we were really busy. That's part of the reason it has taken my so long to post on my blog. I had to sit back and do nothing for a while. Hopefully I will keep on top of it from now on. Oh by the way did I mention in the middle of all this madness I was put in the primary presidency :o)

You are so lucky to have Coleen! A sleep over with all the grand kids, THAT is brave.
Dave told me how the last day at work before her break she was counting the seconds to go home and play with her grand kids. What a great mother in law you have!!!
