"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Christmas 2007

Well, we are back and finally unpacked from our Christmas Vacation. We were able to spend Christmas with my family up in Utah. We had such a fun time with everyone it was hard for me to leave! Carly had a blast playing with all of her cousins, we ate way too much junk food. I played a Wii for the first time, we got to talk to Daniel (my brother who is on a mission) and Chad won 3 million dollars on Deal or No Deal (too bad it was just a DVD game!)
(above) just random pictures throughout the week! Like I said before, Carly has so much fun with all the other kids!
These are pictures from Christmas eve. Carly wasn't too excited to get slippers and pj's.

This was Christmas morning. Who knew she could get so excited for Christmas Tree Peeps?!
More pictures from Christmas morning. She LOVES Elmo. So I was excited to give her her big Elmo. She loves it!!


These pictures are to say thank you to Andrina. Carly loves the backpack and all the stuff that came with it! And Chad thanks you for the marshmellows with hot chocolate! :)

Looks like you had a good Christmas with your family & talking to Daniel.
And we're glad that Carly like the gift that Andrina picked out. Andrina has the same one and loves it, she calls it her"pack back".
Enjoy your marshmellows WITH hot chocolate!
