Christmas!

We had a great Christmas at home with my parents & my sister and her family. It was a LOT of work, but was well worth it. Here are the highlights:

Papa snapping an awesome family picture on our front porch...something that is hard to do usually!
Bronco lovin his Christmas gifts, a Santa chew toy and a stocking full of his favorite bones.

Christmas Jammies from Mommy


Bath time Christmas Eve with Christmas Towels from my Nana

Troy, Me & Cookie (my mom)

Cookie, Kev, Colt & Kristin

Papa, Colt & Troy
Favorite gifts:
Kev-His 4 Wii games
Erin- camera & temple picture
Troy- "all of them" (all of his cars & tracks)
Colt-Thomas the Train toothbrush that plays music in his stocking
The best gift of all was my parents making an offer on a house in Cottonwood Heights! We are soo excited for them to move to Utah in February and we will find out today if they accepted the offer. Oh, and the best part is the house has an amazing view and a POOL!!! Bring on the summer tan, baby! I hope you all have had an amazing Christmas! Here's to the New Year of 2009!
