Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was pretty quiet. The only kids we had home were Scott & Kylie. We still had a great time. Scott came home from California ( he is finished with his internship at the Aurthur Murry Dance studio. He loved it, but we are glad to have him home.) He got home around 5:00. We headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Erickson's for dinner. Grandma & Grandpa Cheney came with us. The Parkinson's and Flamm's were also there. So everyone had the best of both worlds. It's nice to be around so much family at Christmas. After dinner we came back home and played Mario Cart, opened our Christmas Jammie's and read the Christmas story from the bible. It was very fun. We then made Scott & Kylie go to bed so Santa could come. The next morning we got up around 7:oo. Kylie called because we were not awake. We opened gifts and ate a breakfast casserole and just played with our new toys. Everyone got I-pods so that was fun. I only have a few photo's. Enjoy!
The new pj's!

The Gifford's gave us a Moravian Star. It is so pretty. Thanks everyone for everything. Even though we were not together our thoughts were with all of you! We missed you!

Kylie went to the Christmas dance with a friend named Bryton. He is a Junior. Just a friend. She had a great time.

She wore one of Kim's dresses. It was sleeveless so I found this little sweater to go over it. I thought it turned out pretty cute. Kailani Klingler did her hair. She is Kylies friend who isn't 16 yet. I'm so glad. I don't do hair.

Thanksgiving 2008






Thanksgiving was really fun. We had 16 people come over to help celebrate. Ryan, Starla, Emma, Sofie. (oops that makes 17 - 16 around the table) Kim, Sean, Carter, Kylie, Scott, Suzan, Brent, Leslie, Dan, Grandma & Grandpa Erickson and Eric & I. The boys had an early game of football before dinner. After dinner we all went bowling. It was the Mendenhall's against the Erickson's. The Erickson's came in matching shirts so the Mendenhall's knew we meant business. I believe the Erickson's won! Carter and Emma had fun dancing around the bowling ally. The last photo is of little Sofie.
