Christmas 2008
We enjoyed a visit at Lamar and Pam's home with all their family home. Dustin surprising dad with a clean shop, grandpa and grandma over for Christmas eve, rainbow jello, new bed frames, (Thanks Cory and Lori) A new family tree picture (Thanks Mark and Angie) a long phone call from a very missed missionary, food, food, food. A trip to the temple and a treat from Cory and Lori, dinner at PF Chang's yum,yum! A wonderful Gilbert family get together, Lori making Rice Chex Mix, Cory and Dusin killing themseves with intense exercise, Sledding down Niefer hill, Zeke loving the outside and the 4 wheeler, A Beautiful white Christmas, New Years at Uncle Ricks and Aunt Joan's with all their family, Cookie decorating, Card making with Angie, Yaz, and Debbie (Thanks Angie), Rifle and guns target shooting, Shopping the day after Christmas for fun Christmas specials (Good worker Lori on the Christmas trees)and Holly getting thrown into the snow. (And Lori warning everyone that they would be dead if they even tried to throw her in) Can you pack any more in!! Yes! we would have added the gang from Houstin and one in the Marshall Islands. We love our family!!



Amazing work!! A six and a half foot snowman coming up!!
Mr. Snowman grew bigger and bigger!!

A treat to have most everyone home for Christmas. We did so miss Angie and Mark and the joys of out lives Parker, Kas, Addison and Bailey. But it was fun to see traditions started in there home.

Grandpa was giving us words of wisdom but I knew if I didn't catch everyone in a quiet moment I would not be able to catch everyone. Food, visiting, and white elephant exchanges!!

Our days were full of snow, puzzles, crafts and setting up Steves shop and organizing his tools. Dustins gift to his dad.
Helicopter wars Christmas Eve! Fun after Family Home Evening!!







Snow, Snow Snow!


Zeek loved the day and going after the 4 wheeler. Lori was even a trooper and took a turn behind on the knee board.








Christmas Eve Dinner is always fun. Candle lights and rainbow jello. We spent the first 20 minutes just tying to get the jello out of the mold. Fun Fun.
