New Years Eve 07-08

We were still dealing with sickness on New Years Eve, so we decided to stay at home and celebrate with just our little family. We played the game Sorry and had sparkling Cider and blew horns at Midnight (ok so we did it at 10pm to get the kids to bed a little early, but they didn't care!) We had a great time together.

Our Little Princess

The girls have so much fun dressing up. It reminds me of when I was a little girl playing dress up. Fun times!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was early in our house just like every other home with children. The kids ran for their presents from Santa and played with them even though Kate and Madison were both sick, and did alot of laying about that day. In fact almost everyone in the family was sick, and Christmas dinner was cancelled due to the grown ups having tummy troubles. We did enjoy each others company though, and were glad to be together.

Making cookies

Kate begged me to make cookies with her using her new cooking set. She was so careful with the cookies, and they turned out great! As you can see by the smile on her face she had a great time, and so did I! What a great memory to hold on to.

Snowgirls

The girls and I had fun building a snowgirl in our back yard.

Despite the snow, it was a beautiful day and wasn't very cold out.

The Little Big Helper

Jared is in 7th Heaven when Grandpa and Tony are at our house working on somthing. This time it is installing our fireplaces upstairs and downstairs. Jared had to be right under grandpas feet seeing just what was going on first hand. He is going to be a handy man just like his daddy. We are so proud of him. He has such a sweet heart too.

Thanksgiving 2007

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving with the Hamblin side of our family!

Mom, Dad, Matt, JJ, and Adams family came.

Every single dish turned out perfect!

We had just enough places for everyone to sit thanks to my dad puting all the new chairs and Table together.

We played Scrabble after dinner, but everyone kept giving up on the game from being too tired (stupid Triptophan)

Oh and I cheated by asking the definition of a word (stupid Triptophan) I think Lisa would have won if we had actually finished the game...she rocks!

We all sat around and gabbed and moaned with smiles on our faces because we ate too much.

We got a wonderful visit from Cary's dad's side of the family. They wanted to come see all the hard work that Cary, Tony and Dad (Peterson) put in down stairs.

Holly and Craig and their cute little family also popped in for a minute to say Hello.

Why do Holidays always seem to go by too fast? What a great day!
