Welcome 2010

We welcome 2010! Jane is heading out to a New Years Eve party with our sweet neighbors (the Strickland Family) and both she and Kaitlin just looked beautiful. Brad and I are laying low this evening and just hanging out and watching a movie (I'm not feeling well, so that is a wonderful reason to chill). I just wanted to post a couple of pictures of the girls. The best to all this New Year.

Jane and Kaitlin New Years Eve 2009!!!

Snow for Jane!!

Jane arrived Sunday, (I thought she was arriving on Monday afternoon, so thank you sooo much to my Sister who called to make sure I knew she was coming that day) She was able visit for Sammi and David for 1 evening so I was happy for the mix up in arrival dated.




She has been asking for snow, snow and more snow since she arrived and today her wish was granted!!! It started snowing this morning and as I type at 10 pm, it is still snowing. I had to work today, but Brad took Jane and Kaitlin to a movie and then they came home and played outside for hours!!!! She came in, left and had dinner at the Strickland's and then back out side and is still outside as I type. She has been having a great time and Brad and I really enjoy having her come and visit.





Jane and Kaitlin having fun in the snow!

How much snow can we eat?




We have the most amazing sledding hill behind our home. It is a wonderful place for a bit of sledding or boarding. Jane and the neighborhood kids have been having fun going down the hill.

Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning broke cold and clear. It was about 6 degrees out, but with hot chocolate and a fire, well who cares. Kids opened their gifts and had fun. David had already received one of his big gifts and has been using it in Vegas (a season ski pass for Lee Canyon) and Sammi got a Kindle from Amzon (it is an electronic book, really cool) she was really surprised. We are grateful for everything in our lives and are thankful for our Savior and thinking of him at this wonderful time of the year.

Sammi, opening her suprize gift!!!

She does love to read.

Our Christmas Card for 2009

This was our first complete year as Empty Nester's, so we thought the Christmas Card should reflect that. We have enjoyed the house to ourselves, but on the other hand, really miss the kids. It will be wonderful to be back in Las Vegas and closer to them.

Christmas In Utah 2009

We are enjoying a beautiful Christmas here in Highland, UT. Sammi and David came up from Las Vegas to spent the Holiday with us. I am enjoying having them home and all of us under our roof safe and sound.

Last night we drove in the 4 wheel drive sled, out to Grantsville to spend the evening with Brads Family. We had a wonderful dinner and then after dinner, Santa arrived to hand out gifts to all.

Great Grand Kids with Santa

Today will be spent in new PJ's and enjoying new movies and then a great dinner (which smells really great right now).

Merry Christmas to all.
