Christmas Festivities 2009

I don't care that this post is a month old. I am finally getting around to doing it.

This year we were able to actually put lights up on our own house. We have never puts lights up before and I was super excited. I bought a bunch of lights after Christmas last year and we finally get to put them to good use.

I love my house with Christmas lights up.

Our beautiful tree and our giant stockings

I received a new calling, and now I am on the Activities Committee for my ward.

I was in charge of the program and decorations.

I think it turned out great.

Vanessa Campbell in my ward made all the centerpieces for each table.

Each had three candles and a nativity set.

We are pretty sure Tori thought Santa was her Grandpa because she kept running up to him and laying her head on him. It was so sweet.

Christmas Day was great. We were both no longer sick and could enjoy the day.

Tori got a little puppy.

Brett got tickets to MacWorld in San Fran that is coming up here in Feb.

The tickets were wrapped up in this shirt.

She also got a cart and lots of crap to put in it.

This is her favorite present. Her horse or (Nay) as she refers to it.

Brett got a bunch of clothes and a new mouse for his computer.

I got an IPOD docking station, running shoes, and pans.

It was a great Christmas!

We went over the Kristin's house in the morning to have breakfast with her family.

Tori loved chasing Halle around the house and also the remote control cars.

At night Jenny and Shane and new baby Parker were released from the hospital.

We made the trek out to Queen Creek that evening to see the newest addition.

Uncle Scott, and Papa with Parker

We exchanged some gifts over there as well

I made the desserts and they turned out great. Maybe I will post the recipe later.

Thanks Brittany for the great idea!
