Enjoying our Christmas gifts....



We have enjoyed putting together several puzzles together as a family. The kids have also been enjoying their new paints!

I should also get a picture of Alanna playing with her Polypockets and Pet Shop animals. She LOVES those!














































We could have glued this puzzle together, but we decided that we would rather enjoy doing it together every Christmas! Its beautiful!

Day after Christmas at the Beach

































Over 20 of us headed for the beach on Saturday! It was the perfect day for sand and sun! I did get in the water for a bit and jumped the waves with Kristina. But it just wasn't hot enough - I preferred the warm sand. :) Others swam quite a bit though - it was pretty nice for December!

Happy 9th Birthday Brianna!!




Happy Birthday to Brianna,
Happy Birthday to you!!!!
:)


Instead of a party with all her friends this year, Brianna chose to work down at the Seminary construction site!! It was Daddy's idea - but Brianna was all for it! :)

Of course - we didn't get any pictures of the kids working at the site. But, here's some pics of later that day. We did take some time to celebrate her special day!















Then, later that evening, we had a houseful for a special Christmas Eve candlelight service and fellowship. It was beautiful!
