Christmas 2009

We spent Christmas with Verns family. It was a wonderful day and the kids all had a good time. All of the adults were up before the kids, we were all so excited! Gracie was up earlier, but we convinced her to lay down for a little while longer and she went back to sleep. I love this picture of the kids! Their hair is my favorite:) Vern built me night stands. I love them!! You can kind of see one in the picture. We had a great time!!

All Dressed Up

All the girls decided to dress up at grandmas house. They had so much fun! I think they all look so cute!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas eve with my family. we went to Davey and Marylynns. We had way too much food, but it was fun. It is never long enough though! Grandma Bundy was able to come. She opened a few presents while we were there. I think we have a big family:)
The kids all got to open their pajamas.

Lex's Blessing

Jill and Charles blessed little Lex on Christmas eve. Charles gave him a beautiful blessing. After, we tryed to take pictures and this is what we got........
He wore the same out fit his dad did when he was blessed:)

Leah

Leah had a little Christmas program in her class at school. She memorized her part and did a great job! It was a cute program.

Merry Christmas!!

I love this time of year,when we get to focus on our Savior. It seems like everyone is happy and so willing to give. I also love that we get to spend time with family. It is such a great time of year and I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!! We are off to spend time with family and share the Holidays with them. I will post as soon as we get back:)

Winter

Over the past week we have had A LOT of snow! We got about 22 inches. The kids have had a blast in it! They decided to make a little snowman, that turned out pretty cute. Then when they came in they wanted to eat the icicles that were hanging off the house. I am sure they are filled with many vitamins! It has been a cold, but fun winter so far.

They all had to use towels or some thing to hold on to the icicles:)

Good Changes...............

There have been a few changes over this last week and I wanted to share them. Vern got called to be the Assistant Ward Clerk in our ward. It is the perfect calling for him and I am so excited that he gets this opportunity! He will basically be in charge of the ward finances, which he will do great at. I also got a new calling. I am going to be the secretary in the Young Womens. I am looking forward to it. I haven't been in there since I was in there 10 years ago, so I am a little nervous, but excited too. I know we are going to learn a lot from these callings and I look forward to getting to know the girls. The next new change is a new baby will be coming into our family in August . We are so excited and can't wait to meet this new little person! We have waited for a year and a half and it is finally here and we couldn't be happier! We really have been blessed this past year! We have had a job and we live in a wonderful little town. We are surrounded by good people and we have so many great friends! I love this time of year, when we get to focus on the Savior and the incredible sacrifice he made for us. I am truly thankful for family! Not only do I have an amazing family, but I married into one as well. I am looking forward to this next year and to starting a new chapter in our lives! And I can't WAIT for Christmas!! My kids are so excited and watching them brings back so many memories of when I was young. I love this time of year!

Snow, Snow, and more Snow!!!

I love the first snow! It is so beautiful! I love how it piles on the trees. The kids have had fun playing in it. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Christmas Tree + 3

Vern and the kids went with Duke to get a tree and they came home with 3! The kids thought they should have one in their rooms. It was getting dark when they left, so they didn't have a lot of time to look and this is what they came home with:) It is a really sad little tree, but the kids love it and mostly decorated it them selves. Next year we will try to get out earlier, so we can get a fuller tree:) But for now this is it!
This is Daniels tree.................
and this the girls tree. They even made their own decorations:)
I love my village! The problem is the kids love it too and they love to touch it, so they are learning to just look!
