Happy New Year!!

To say the LEAST we had a awesome Christmas! This blogging thing has made me keep a camera in my pocket where ever we go, so... here are alot of pictures documenting our vacation!

Jordan, my Dad, Brittney and Brandy all got to freeze at the BYU game against UCLA while we were there and they all had their BYU getups on. Even Maddie was dressed for the occasion!
Go Coug's!

All the girlies dressed fabulous for church on Christmas sunday.
As tradition, we always have a puzzle to do and as you can see my dad and I were the only one's left to finish it!
After tummies were full after a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner, us kids opened our yearly Christmas books and pjs.
Christmas morning!!! After distributing all of the gifts under the tree we go in a circle and open them one by one. Thankyou Mom, Dad and Grandma B.!!!
The Longboarding duo!
Brands got her iMac notebook, to say the least we didn't see her for the rest of the trip after she opened this one!

I was soooo excited to give this to my dad. My dad is the hardest person to shop for because he never wants anything, but this year I knew what I wanted to get him. He had been wanting a good, sturdy citrus press ever since we were in Cabo this past summer and couldn't find one. So to my luck I found one online and it was perfect!

Here is my cute mom with her new glasses.

Grandma B. got this beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple. It looks gorgeous in her house and I think she was pretty excited about it.

As siblings we always pick names and this year I got Brittney. Not knowing what to get her, I got this crazy idea to make her a scrapbook. It took me a couple of hours to make it (more like I stayed in my pjs for a week and Maddie was on her own as I threw her cheerios :) But I was pleased with the outcome and so excited to give it to her and I think she loved it.

As one of our presents we all got tickets to go see the show Stomp on the strip Christmas night. It was so entertaining and fun!

There is nothing like spending time with family. I love this time of year, how it brings family together with traditions, giving, and love. I am excited to see what 2008 brings for our family this year. Happy New Year!
