Christmas Eve...2008

So here are the kids on the way to their Dad's house. Sterling had to work and I am staying home...
But I made Sure they were all in their "RED"... The kids just love that. haha

Decorating the Gingerbread House...

So....For Family Home Night we decorated a Gingerbread House.
And I have to say...It is definately the best looking one we have ever had. Usually, we get some pretty funky houses.

More Christmas Sunday Pictures...

Well, we can't forget the Older Boys and the Family Picture...

Sterling and Jordan looking handsome and ready to pass the sacrament for Christmas Sunday....

Christmas Sunday....

Carson and Kennedy dressed for Christmas.
Kennedy gave a talk on the "Birth of our Savior...."
The best part...we had our own Christmas Miracle.
Kennedy got ready...
Practiced her talk...
and ... I say...AND SAT REVERENTLY THROUGH SACRAMENT!
Thank you for small Blessings...or (Big ones!)

Visiting Santa....

This year Carson didn't want to go see Santa...
Kennedy thought this to be a BAD IDEA!

Kennedy was nervous at first and then "Santa" said "Hi Kennedy".... "Where's Carson?" Oh my goodness....is she ever a firm believer...
She has been carrying on about ALL THE KIDS WHO DON'T BELIEVE! She says, "I guess they aren't getting anything..." Very matter of factly!

Another day I see her writing down words on a list...
"What are you doing Kennedy?" (Mom)
"Writing out a naughty list for Santa." (KK)
"What? You can't do that! That's Santa's job." (Mom)
"It's Mine Now!" (KK)
......A little insight to the mind of Kennedy......(SCARY)

Santa's Little Helper....(or at least she thinks so)!!!

The Nutcracker...

So...This year we got Nutcracker tickets from a friend of ours and we took Kennedy. She loved it and after we went downtown and then out to Mexican for Dinner. She loves those "Girly things".

More Senior Pictures...

I love this one...But Sterling doesn't. HE is so DIFFICULT!!!

I like this one even with the hat...

I think Sterling is so handsome in this one...So "Missionary LIKE"

And this one is just a cool pic taken in his jersey....
and distorted out....

HOHOHO Merry Christmas....

OK so this is a weird photo to post of Christmas Eve...
But this is pretty much my feelings at the moment. This kids are with Dad and This is my way of passing the time...
Anyway this is another
Senior Pic...but obviously a JOKE....

I will post more later....

Enough of that...
I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!

.........

Sterling gets his Braces Off...

So...Check this out! Totally worth it! He is so Happy. Unfortunately...He already got his Senior Pictures taken! Nice Smile!

Dec. 1st Carson turns "9"
