Christmas 2007

What a wonderful Christmas we had. It came so quick. We never even got our Christmas cards out. Seems like December just flew right by us. We stayed in Salina for Christmas this year. We had our traditional dinner at Ryan's parents on Christmas eve. Lynzie and Travis put together the Nativity program. I was Mary great with child!! Can you imagine that! The kids loved it. After the program the grand kids got to open their presents for the cousin they had picked. We drew names on Sunday night and then went to the family dollar to find that special gift. Our goal was to find the loudest most annoying toy we could find to drive the parents crazy! I think the kids really enjoyed it. After the Christmas eve party we went home to get a little sleep for the night. It was about six in the morning when we received our wake up call because Santa had been to grandma and grandpa's house. We do this every year. You can barely walk in the room there are so many presents. I'm sure there will be a day that we will run out of room to have Christmas all together, but for now we love it this way. It's really hectic, but that's what makes it exciting. My sweet dad came down and spent the Christmas holiday with us. We are so glad that we have a room for him to stay in now. He no longer gets the air mattress that goes flat before morning. We all got everything that we wanted and needed. We are truely grateful for all we have and all the blessings we receive. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that we get you a Christmas card next year!!

Christmas 2007

Terrible 2's here we come!!!

Happy Birthday Warner!!

Today Warner turned two. We had a little birthday party with some of his friends. Since he LOVES spider man that was our theme! This is a picture before the party began.
Warner was worried before the party that nobody was going to show up so he was pouting ;)

Blow hard little guy!

We had a pinata as you can see Ryan was really concerned being the one holding it. He did so good....not one kid hit him!

Warner taking a stab at Spidey!! As much as he loves him I wasn't sure he would want to break him open.

Jackpot!

We had a fun little party! The kids should all be hyped up with all the sugar. We love you Warner!! Happy Birthday!!!!

Hey Santa

So I don't have my camera back, but we were able to use Ryan's work camera when we went to our ward Christmas party. Warner hasn't warmed up much to santa compared to last year. All he was worried about was getting that candy cane. He had a lot of fun running around with all the kids. He has found some of his Christmas presents and started opening them on Sunday. He would tear paper off then say "WOW". I hope he doesn't remember them all when he opens them again on Christmas!! What a guy.

Sad day :(

So we are FINALLY moved into our new house. We moved the weekend of Thanksgiving. Thank goodness for such a great family who all pitched in and helped, we really appreciate it.

So I wanted to post some pictures of our annual Christmas tree hunt. Ever year we go out and risk our lives looking for the perfect tree!! Since we've been married we have yet not to get stuck in the snow. This year was Warner's first year really experiencing snow. Last year during the winter months he was so sick that he never really went out to play. So this year we bought him some snow gear and off we went to look for the perfect tree. The first chance I had to take a picture of Warner playing in the snow I dropped the camera :( It turns on, but won't take any pictures. This has to be one of the saddest things that has happened. I love taking pictures of our boy and all the new experiences he has. I'm hoping Santa is kind enough to bring us a new camera. So for now I will update with information and you'll just have to picture yourselves how it was!!

Hope all is well with everyone during this Christmas season!! I love this time of year!!
