Christmas 2008

We had everyone here for Christmas this year!!! It was a little bit of a challenge to get everyone together for a picture and to try and get everyone looking at the camera but we did it--sorta. We tried this year to have a schedule and post it on the door at mom's house which worked better than most years except that Michael and I were in our own home and didn't always have the schedule in front of us. We learned a lot and had fun playing basketball, and visiting with family. Michael and I did decide that our family is going to have to make our own traditions and start inviting mom and dad to join us instead of sitting around wondering what the plan is and feeling really kaotic. We had kids get sick after Christmas but they were all healthy on Christmas Day--(which I think is a first!!!) We loved focusing on Christ more this year and want to try and have less getting and more giving next year too!!! We're sorry we didn't get any Christmas cards this year, or any gifts for our friends and ward family but we do love everyone and hope they all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!
