Christmas Eve 2008

Here they await the excited children on Christmas morn'!
I love making it look as though we have a billion presents,  each one gets a bag of it's own!
Uh-Oh..mom forgot to make cookies!  So Ethan made a crabby patty, hence the stacked roll:)


I actually like this picture of us all!


This is the best picture I could get of the cousins, they were a little hyped up.
Almost all of the fam at the Christmas Eve party! We had Fondue, thanks Dad and Kim!
The snowglobes were a hit with the kids!
Kim can't resist giving somebody pj's for christmas;)  So the missionaries got some since us kids have too many pairs of them:)

This is such a CUTE picture of her!




We spent christmas eve as we always do, at my dad's.  We had our little christmas program and the family so graciously let me sing Amy Grant's Breath of Heaven.  It was fun! My goal is to learn the piano part by next year:)

Dad's Bday Party

My Wonderful Dad:)
Kim made his favorite cake as she does every year:)
Grandma and Grandpa Heaton, I was so glad they came all the way from Utah to see us!
Cute!
Cute, Cute, and Cute!

We celebrated Dad's Bday before Christmas this year at Caleb and Mubeen's house.  The kids were happy because they had the play room upstairs all to themselves:) Love you Dad!

Pat Green Concert

Here are Mark and I waiting for Mary Barrett and a couple of my other friends from High School, too bad I forgot about the Razoos in Bedford.  Oh Well, I'll have to see them next year.



Me and the crazy Pat Green fan!!lol (ok, I like him too:))


The Pat Green Concert was fun!  I will definitely go to Billy Bob's again sometime, especially with these crazy Folk!

We have no good pics together...so this will have to do:)


Mubeen is crazy! So I went out to Gloria's with Mubeen and she told the waiter it was my bday so I got dessert!  It was good:) She's a little crazy, but I still love her:) Thanks Mebooba!

Black mail Pictures:)...Plus some cute ones:)

Best Friends Forever!!
Ethan's such a good big brother! He loves to red to his sister!

I'm so proud of my lil' Ethan boy..he's started dressing himself.  Most of the time he does a wonderful job, but despite his distaste for purple bowls and spoons, for some reason he decided to where purple pants that day:)lol
So you never know what's up in the other room when a girl of two years old decides to be quite for more than 5 minutes!!  OMG she is covered! It's even in her teeth! I couldn't pass up the chance of recording this!  This is definitely going in her Senior High School Slideshow!

Twilight movie!

So I know it's been forever, but I'm catching up...  Just us girls went to see the Twilight movie a bit ago...I actually liked it!  I was afraid I wouldn't,  but I was pleasantly surprised!  It was nice to get away from everyday things and just relax:)
Just us girls eating appetizers and chatting about the movie!


I was trying to get them to both make silly faces, but Mary can't look silly, she just looks cute:)

Thanksgiving at Christmas

On the way to Grandma's house...Hope looks so cute with her feet crossed like that! What a Handsome Boy!

Hope is so talented!
If anyone knows Mark, they know he does not like pie.  He says it's because it's too sweet so we thought he would like Rubarb Pie...
We made him try it and he hated it soo much he had to spit it out...all while we were cracking up, cause at first he was trying to be polite about it, until mom told him if he didn't like it he could spit it out.lol
I made my delish Fruit Brownie by request:) and I found the BIGGEST Strawberry in the world in the process!
Me eating the Biggest Strawberry in the world!

I caught Mark eating all the chocolate

Cute lil' Alley
Thanksgiving dinner made Aiden tired...
Until they decided to make a concerted effort to get in the pantry!
Best buds!

I'm finally uploading pics form Thanksgiving.  Ya I know I'm a slacker:)  We had two wonderful Tahnksgiving dinners that day.  One at my mom's and then one at Mark's moms.  Needless to day we were very, very full by the end of the day!
