Ellie Christmas 2008

I thought this picture was cute. We hid Ellie's binkie in the tree and she was trying to find it.

Kids dressed in their Christmas best

Can I just say it is so hard to take a picture of all of your kids together. Ellie was being a little stinker and would not cooperate. So this is the best we could get.

Garrett's Baptism Day

Matt, Garrett, and David and Kale
I know I have posted a lot about Garrett lately but it has been a special week for him. Garrett was baptized today December 6th. I am so proud of him that he decided to get baptized. You could really feel the spirit there. He got to be baptized on the same day as his cousin. They are 19 days apart and are really good friends. I think they will always remember this day and that they were able to have their Dads baptize them. Garrett really felt special in his new suit. He was just smiling the whole time.

Garrett's Birthday Party

Garrett and his friend Garrett Marion had a combined birthday party together. We had his birthday party with his friends at the Bowling Alley. We rented the birthday room and had pizza a cake. The kids had so much fun. Between the two boys they invited 20 other kids and all of them showed up except for one of them. Garrett got a ton of presents. It was a little chaotic but the boys had a blast. I let them do the arcades I think they liked that the best.

Thanksgiving Dinner with the Gull's

This year we had Thanksgiving with my side of the family. We had it at the Palmyra Ward Building in Palmyra. We had lots of fun. I always love seeing my family, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. They had games for the kids and prizes. The food was delicious. I just love being with my family.
