CHRISTMAS DAY

The long awaited Christmas day finally arrived, the kids were beside themselves! Santa brought the boys more Star Wars ships, Addie got the Strawberry Shortcake baby she just had to have and Ava got baby toys. Yipee!

THE JAZZ GAME

For Christmas, Christian got a Williams jersey and a ticket to go to the Jazz/Mavericks game the next night. He was thrilled! He is a HUGE fan of the Utah Jazz. We met up with our friends, the Hirrlingers who used to live in Dallas so they were rooting for the Mavs. My brother in law Craig and some of his family also joined us. It was a great night and to top it off, the Jazz won!

DOWN MEMORY LANE

Here is my family with my wonderful Aunt Janice, it was always a huge treat when she would come to visit, she would spoil us rotten! She is still just as sweet! This was around 1983.
Here we are with our new baby cousin Asha (Aunt Janice's daughter), we were on one of our famous road trips from Alaska to Nevada. 1986
Here we are again with Asha, note that Page is playing with a snake we caught and kept in a shoe box in the suburban(my poor mother!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

This was one of our attempts to do a family picture but I have surrendered to the reality that I can't be in the picture and try to take the picture at the same time! so this year we are doing individual pictures, oh well! Where is Justin Hackworth when I need him?!

ADDIE AND AVA'S PICTURES

Here are Ava's 6 month pictures, I can't believe she is already this old! I love her cute cheeks,

her whole face lights up when she smiles!
I finally got around to taking the girls pictures since the boys had theirs done in the fall. Addie loves getting hers done, I think she loves getting the one on one attention with mom. Anyway, we got it done, phew!
