Driving Out of Glendale

Bryan's parents Cabin

The cabin in the distance of the fieldA Surprising Sign that we saw leaving Orderville.

Time to say GOODBYE

Before we left, we took some last minute pictures of everyone. My thought is, YOU NEVER KNOW, so take pictures while you have the moment. So, even though I looked like death and had NO makeup on, I jumped into the pictures too.

Another Surprise!!!

Bryan has wanted a shotgun forever. Well, I was trying to think of something to get him for christmas this year and the girls kept telling me, "mom we will go in on it with you for a shotgun for dad." So I decided, "Let's do it." We tried to keep it a surprise, but he did some detective work and found out. So we hid it from him and told him that I took it back, so when christmas morning came and NO shotgun under the tree, he started thinking that I really did take it back. Well, the girls kept bugging me all morning and so finally they pulled it out of the storage closet and waited for Bryan outside the bathroom and surprised him as he came out. He tried not to show very much emotion, but we could tell that he was soooo excited.
Merry Christmas Sweetheart!!!!

Cecilee was so excited for her Daddy!!!!!
So was Cambria, they wanted him to have this so bad. Now that they have jobs, money is not an obstacle. They will learn.

Cambria and Cecilee playing with Sydnee with her FLIP camera.

My kids loved reading the Blog Book.

I love seeing the four of them together, getting along and loving each other. That's what lifes all about!!!

Christmas Eve

We had lots going on on Christmas Eve. Gingerbread houses, dinner, reading of the christmas story, pajamas, and fun!!! The night went on all night, the kids did not seem like they were going to go to bed, finally someone went up and told them a story to get them calmed down. Then we allowed all of the elves to help get ready for Santa.

The kids of all sizes decorating their graham cracker houses. Grandma always has a contest and gives money to the winners. Of course, everyone is a winner, but Cambria was the BIG winner. Reading of the Christmas Story from the scriptures. Grandpa had everyone take a turn and read part of the story. It was a special time to hear everyone participate.

Everyone waiting for Cambria and Cecilee to hand out the gifts. Which of course were PJ's!!!! My girls and their FOOTIES Pj's Bryan and Trevor were very glad to see that they DIDN'T have FOOTIE PJ's.
