This Christmas was a bitter sweet one for our family! Brad was not able to be there for Christmas which was really hard, but we missed him terribly and know that he was dying inside because he wanted to be there just as much as we wanted him there! On a better note, we got to spend Christmas at my moms house which was so much fun. We decided that for one last Christmas everyone would spend it all together as one big happy family! We had so much fun being all together celebrating the birth of our Savior!


We had a great Christmas Eve dinner. My Dad cooked us prime rib which was awesome! Then after we ate we decided to get food, toys and clothes for 2 families that we thought we could help. The best Christmas's that I remember are the ones where we did service. We had such a great time getting things ready and dropping everything off and running. The kids had fun helping and it was a great teaching experience for them. I am so grateful for our Savior and the sacrifices he made for me and my family. Christmas was a great reminder of that!



This is my parents sage brush tree. It is so pretty. There were presents galore, everywhere you turned you saw presents.

Jaden got some fun things from Santa and had to try them on! He had a blast with all of his cousins and loved opening his presents. He got a leapster from Santa and was so excited to get it!

Alyxis is into babies so Santa knew to bring her a nursery set. She absolutely loved it. I was so disappointed though, it was not built well, but she loved it non the less.

Lyxi also loves backpack! She calls Dora, Diego which is harder to say, but she will not say Dora. It is pretty cute. She loved every minute of opening presents and lasted the whole time.

Jaden opening presents. He loved the umbrella!

This picture is classic. Sheri ad Brian gave them pajamas for Christmas and they got to open them Christmas Eve. They were hilarious and were good sports. Melanie and Valerie got cool jammies too! They all looked so cute!

Lyxi with Mommy!

Brad was able to show up Christmas night, which we were so grateful for. He hadn't slept in a long time but he drove all the way to Green River to be with us! I sure love that man. He is such a trooper. So for Christmas we all got dutch oven stuff. So the next day we decided to all make a dish and learn the ropes. It was so fun and we ate like kings too!

The sister picture!

My mom, dad and Val on Christmas morning! I was so grateful for my parents for helping me with everything. My dad helped Jaden open all of his presents while I helped Lyxi and my mom ran the video camera for me! You guys are awesome!

For some reason I didn't get a picture of the Luth family, so this will have to do! Aren't they cute???

Mel and Kyle, living the good life!!!

The Fox family! So cute!

Thanks everyone for a great Christmas! We had so much fun!
