Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 was such fun. The kids were really in to it this year. They loved tearing open the presents and kept asking for more. We celebrated Christmas with the 4 of us of Christmas Eve morning. It was kinda nice to have that special time with just us. That night, we had our candlelight service at church and then headed off to Snyder. We had a great time with my family there complete with matching pj's for the girls!! (Sorry again, Kelby for no pj pics) The kids had so much fun with their play kitchen and Jackson's trucks. He didn't really care to open anything else after the Tonka truks were discovered!! It was Makali's first Christmas, so that was very special. She is such a blessing to our family! I thank God every time I think of her for the special gift that he has sent to Kelby and Justin. We returned to Plainview on Saturday so that we would be here for services on Sunday. Dave's parent's flew in from Kingsville the next day and we celebrated Christmas all over again with them. The kids had a great time with their new tricycles from Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks for all the lights and sounds!!! LOL!!! I was so thankful for a few days of pretty weather so that the kids could ride outside. Now, Christmas is over...everything is put away and it's time for a new year. Dave and I are thankful for the gift of another year. For me, I have many resolutions, one being to get into shape. If anyone would like to hold me accountable to that, it would be much appreciated!!Another would be to keep up with our blog better. I'll get the hang of this someday!!! We want to wish everyone a very blessed 2009. I'll post pictures soon!!
