Christmas Time

Christmas Eve we spent the evening with Doug and Jessica. We had our traditional Chinese Food for dinner. We started this tradition when we still lived in Nashua, NH. Christmas Eve day is alway a busy day getting everything ready for the big day that ordering take out seemed like a great idea. We have carried this tradition out every year except for a couple when the roads were impossible to travel on. When we moved to Idaho we invited my sister and her family to join us. It was always fun as our kids were the same ages and gender. I would host one year and she would host the next year. Even this year as we have moved and are unable to get together I called her on Christmas Eve and they were enjoying their Chinese Dinner. What fun memories

Christmas morning we went back to Jessica and Doug's. We had Egg McMuffins and lots of other good food. Then we got to open our presents. Doug got a new game that we played. It was a fun day.


We then headed up to Alice and Jeff's to have supper and share more presents. The boys all got BYU shirts. They love their Uncle Carl.

Catch Up Time

Wow! here it is March 12, 2011 and I have not updated my blog for over three months. Well, here goes. For Thanksgiving we went to Sue's in Rexburg. Most of the family was there which means a lot of people, over 40 but I didn't count. It was really nice to visit with everyone and eat yummy food. A few days later we got to spend time with Tanner for his birthday. He is really growing up. He is already 3 and is quite the talker. He has the cutest little mischievous twinkle in his eyes. He is into tractors. I was able to find some material to make him a tractor cuddly blanket.
