Christmas 08

We had a great Christmas. All our single children were here for the week and Ashley and her husband, Randy, and his two girls came to stay overnight. The young adults got clothes and Hailey had some great gifts for everyone from Jerusalem. Dallin bought some new skis and bindings and a camera on the post Christmas sales. Practical Nathan wanted luggage and camera for his mission next summer. Taylor got clothes and Morgan got an MP3 player and scooter while Jaden received a go cart type of scooter and a large plane model. The family present was a Wii. Everyone was excited by the surprise except for Kevin who thinks his kids "nerd" too much already. Our highlight was talking to Elder Landon on the phone. He sounds good and had some fun stories to tell. We have enjoyed seeing all of our kids this year, except our missionary, for the Holidays. We have had much snow last week and dug out many of our neighbors. Kevin has enjoyed the 4 wheeler snow blade attachment immensely. We had a lovely Christmas Eve family program and sang christmas songs and read Luke 2, etc. We shared our feelings about each other and the Savior. It was Kevin and Michelle's highlight of the season. We enjoyed some great holiday parties with family and Kevin's work and were treated to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas concert for the 5 consecutive year. We feel so blessed and hope our good fortunes continue.
