Christmas 2008
This Christmas was seriously one of most favorites! I really had such a great time with family and the kids had so much fun with Nana and Papa. My dad made THE most AMAZING village on earth! Seriously, it was so awesome and so very beautiful. I took pics of it. Instead of trying to write out what we did here's a list:
~ lunches with friends Becky and Nichole. So fun!!!!
~ shopping with Nana and Gram.
~ A visit to see Santa!
~ My Uncle and Aunt's annual xmas party.
~ 3 shoots
~ a couple of visits to see Debbie and Ted
~ My sister hit a Semi truck driving to Vegas from Cali. She drove right under it! Yep... she was in bumper to bumper traffic and she was giving money to a bum!!! She is a saint seriously! She is okay and we were so happy to see her! No ticket was given!
~ Christmas Eve at mom's
~ Christmas morning at mom's
~ date night with Terry where we ate at Kennedys and went to the show Le Reve!! So awesome!! That really was so much fun!
~ Our car broke!! Yep... oil leaked out everywhere! So we had to get that fixed! UGH!
We managed to stay pretty busy and still had time relax! I really enjoyed it! Paige and Ty were so stinkin spoiled...... can I say INSANE!!!!!!! I too can say I was spoiled...... I got the Canon 5D camera!!! I peed my pants! This camera is so amazing and so awesome all I do is dream about it!!! I have wanted one for a few months but thought I would get it later. Life is too crazy right now but when I met with Becky( my husband wants me to tell you thanks Becky..hahaha) I fell in LOVE! What a HUGE difference! Well then I KNEW I wanted it pretty quick but never thought THAT quick! Thanks to my family and Terry for that one! I LOVE LOVE LOVE ya! Thanks Mom and Dad for such a GREAT time!
Vegas is still my home but it was nice to get back to Kennewick to get life going again. Christmas stuff came down New Years Day and now I am trying to catch up!
Paige started Sunbeams on Sunday....... can I say her mother was a basket case! I cried my eyes out! Can't I just bottle her up forever? I am so excited for her though. She seemed to really like it and my job is to suck it up and cheer her on in this life!!!! Yahoo Paige!
I am not too sure what 2009 has in store for us but we are so ready to have a rockin year!!!
Love to all!!!!xoxoxoxo

Sounds like you guys had so much fun. I bet its totally different having Christmas in Vegas with your family. Especially with Paige and Ty being the only grandkids and stuff. We missed ya though. Pretty exciting about your new camera. I bet Paige is just the cutest little sunbeam ever! Glad your back!
Okay Annette!!! It really freaks me out when people change their profile picture! I seriously have to look twice to see who it is for sure! So funny! It totally throws me off! I am laughing pretty hard at myself! I'm sure it being 12:24am has nothing to do with it!
Yes... xmas is different at my parents! It got worse since my sisters whole thing. All my parents want to do is spoil and enjoy the kids! I love to watch! They are all about living life the fullest! I should try it sometime!
sounds like you guys had so much fun! sweet camera!!!!!!! you'll have a blast with that! we're going to disneyland this weekend, any pointers? I know you just went with the kiddos.
sounds like soooo much fun! yay for a new camera- i want one (not that I have a clue how to use a nice one) so bad. You deserve one with all the amazing talent you have!
I loved the picture of the kids' crossed feet in their christmas pjs. how adorable!
hang in there with sunbeams- it is the hardest thing ever to watch your kids get bigger and do things WITHOUT you, you just don't want to miss a second of their cuteness!!!! you're such a great mama!!
If you had a hard time with Sunbeams, just you wait until Kindergarden. It is awful.
Your sister looks beautiful. Giving a bum money?? She sound like a sweetheart.
Sarah- Do the Princess part of the park! The girl will freak!
I haven't heard of the restraunt Kennedys before... where's it at? I guess we don't get out much!
The Christams village is amazing it looks like a real village.
I can't remember Mrs. White but she sounds like she was a great person. How sad.
tiffany,
we never really knew each other but i was in your ward in vegas - spanish hills - until you guys moved. I also know Eliza cause we went to school together. So i occasionally check in on your blog - especially since you're into photography & so am I. I was wondering now that you got a new camera what happened to your old one? Did you sell it? Are you going to sell it? Was it the 40D? Let me know if you want to sell it cause me or my sister would possibly be interested in it. I currently just have the nikon d40x and although i still feel it's sufficient since i'm still learning, i drool over some of the canon lenses and know that eventually i need to make that next step up since i'm pretty much getting a handle on stuff. Anyways, let me know. My email should show up when you hit my profile name.

PS - did you meet up with the "famous" Becky Earl while you were in town? I love her work & she seems so nice in emails I've had with her. Also I knew Mrs. White too - she was my world history teacher at Gibson - then i guess she moved to Cheyenne so my friend that's a teacher now had told me about her death and funeral. I wasn't able to attend though.
