CHRISTMAS DAY 2008We love gifts and our family and Santa has spoiled us!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Gifts, Gifts and more Gifts.

I love Christmas Day! ( I guess)

Mommy and daddy are so smart with what to get me.

I love Baseball and all sports!

Give me these Cherrio's!

As a little child I always wondered why my parents were so tired on Christmas day. Being a mom, I now know.

WE LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Eve 2008 and Clam Chowder

Chris was on Christmas Break and we had a blast with him focusing all of his attention on us. Because we are away from Utah and family Chris decided to keep the tradition going at his mom's home and made clam chowder. It was absolutely delicious and even the kids loved it.

Lucas' Pre-K Christmas Concert 2008

Lucas was so excited to have his family come watch him sing!

Lucas' class sang "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and he practiced and practiced at home. If we tried singing with him he would critique us and tell us when we weren't singing it correctly. Instead of singing," you better not pout you better not cry." He would sing it you better not pout you better not pout...." But, a 4 year old is always right.

We love our Lucas!
