A Night in Bethlehem

Our Ward held a Christmas Party last night called, "A Night in Bethlehem".

It was done really well, they asked everyone to bring taxes for each member of our family (a can of food), dress in Bethlehem attire, and a blanket to sit on. We had a nice dinner and then sang Christmas songs during the live Nativity. The boys wanted to be wise-men because they got to bring "treasure" to Jesus, and of course Rylee was our Angel.

Magic in Malad

Last week our family was invited to a Christmas Party at Max and Rhonda's home. We went on a very cold hayride (one that was pulled by a truck) out in the country to see a live Nativity in a barn. The boys thought that it was very cool to see Baby Jesus along with a real donkey and some sheep. Rylee didn't like the fact that I had to keep her very bundled up in order to stay warm. After we warmed up with hot chocolate and donuts and had a surprise visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. All of the kids got to sit on their laps and tell them what they wanted for Christmas. Then Mrs. Claus explained to the kids how Santa gets his reindeer to fly. It was a very magical night.

The Start of Something New!!!!

So... I have been asked repeatedly to create one of these things, so here it goes.... (This is for you Heather!)
2007 was a year of complete craziness. One which would take far too long to back track, so we are starting from here on out.
