Family, Traditions, and Santa!

Trying to take Christmas pictures with the four kids was a little on the nightmarish side, but we ended up with some cute ones! Love the outfits mom!

I love this one!

Ryan was trying to hang some curtains and shattered a light on his head, here is a picture 4 stitches later! Thanks Chad for watching Cameron!

Ryans family came to visit us for a week, we got to do lots of fun things with them! First night Tempe Marketplace and shopping, then home for cheesecake and hot chocolate! Cameron did so good considering most nights he didnt go to bed until 9 and 10!

Cameron trying to see the top of the tree!!

Brad, Tiffany, Ryan, and Cameron in front of a light display!

The next day they all went to the temple lights (I had to work ) THey look beautiful!

Next day they went and spent all day at the zoo. Cameron loved it (until the duck tried to nip him!)

Heres everyone listening to granny telling the story of Baby Jesus

Next couple are out of order, Sitting on Santas lap, trying to eat the present?! and opening the present! Thanks Santa, you did a great job!!

It was a super fun week!! Can't wait for this week!!!

Ginegerbread Houses!

Saturday morning we went over to Moms house. Chad and Mom made everyone a super yummy breakfast, (sausage, eggs, potatos, and the best pancakes ever!) Then we made Gingerbread houses. This was the first year everyone "cheated" and made the kits instead of graham crackers. We just knew with 4 kids running around this would be faster and easier! Although this was the first year Tate was happy and helped Lindsay and Bob!! It was super fun guys...love this tradition! Ryan setting up the structure!

Tates house definetly had the most candy! (mom in the background eating frosting...she said that is her favorite part, she fed Tate some and he said, ok Ive had enough frosting and just wanted to eat the candy! Then Ryan gave him a Christmas tree peep and he put it in his mouth and froze and we all laughed at his face so then he spit it out! Ha)

Britt working on her house!

Almost finished!

RYan and my house and Brittanys house!!

It's Santa!!!

We took Cameron to the mall to sit on Santas lap!!! Cameron was fascinated by Santa. He didnt cry or anything just smiled cute!! Santa and Cameron were so good and sat there while I took my 20 pictures! I know its early but we were so excited (plus the line was already really long!!!)

Waiting in line!

Cute!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a really fun Thanksgiving! Our first Thanksgiving was at 1pm at the park! There was a bunch of people there, but suprisingly enough I think it was the smallest Thanksgiving ever!

Love this picture!

All the people and the food!!!

Ryan playing with Cameron Having fun playing!

At our next Thanksgiving we ate at grannys house! The kids all had fun playing and us eating!

Cameron and Macie love climbing up on everything! These chairs they fight over all the time!

Help Dad/Happy Thanksgiving!

Ha this picture makes me laugh!!! Camerons new favorite thing to do is climb into his toy bucket...he climbs in and either gets stuck like this or he climbs in and plays for awhile just to realize he cant climb out! So then you have to go get him and then he just does it again!!! Im thankful for this cute little guy! Im also thankful for Ryan and family they all mean so much to me!!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!

No Strike!!

So this week was crazy!!! Most of you know I work for Safeway...and they have been having contract issues with the Union. Nobody could settle anything and the union was all ready to strike at 6pm today. Thank goodness, last night at 1:00 am they finally reached an agreeement! Thank goodness!! THe last strike they had lasted 5 months, I couldn't imagine not having a job for that long, Especially bc Ryan isn't working and the way the economy is! Thank you all that said prayers and kept your fingers crossed for us!!
Im going to borrow this quote Bob put on his facebook page that Pres. Uchtdorf said: "Work is an antidote for anxiety, an ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility."
I have never been so excited to go to work!
