We had a wonderful Christmas! The kids scored with a Wii and Nintendo DS. Paige also Gourment Cupcake, pixos, tini puppini, mall madness and a ton of other stuff to try to find a spot for in her overfilled room. Conner got the red robot, Tony Hawk skateboard, remote control car, star wars talking helmet and books which can fit in his room because he so gratefully got rid of some toys he no longers plays with before Christmas. Thank you Conner! Brandon got white walled tires for his Harley along with some more skull pieces for the bike that he bought himself. He also got a rainforest shower head, razor, clothes and SAR knife. I got Euphoria Calvin Klein perfume, oral B toothbrush, jewelry, clothes, foot massager and food storage items. It was nice to have the whole family for both families here together.

This Christmas was bitter sweet. My Grandma fell and broke her hip on the 23rd. She had surgery on the 24th and never woke up from that. She died on Christmas day. How sweet for her to beable to return to Grandpa on Christmas Day! We will miss her greatly, but know she is in the best place possible and we will see her some day again!

With the New Year coming this week, 2008 has been quite a ride. We went to Disneyland in April and the week we came back we moved into the new house. We still currently own our first house which sucks, but that's the way the ball rolls. Brandon and myself both received promotions which helps in owning 2 homes. The kids have grown up a lot this year. Conner got baptized in June. Paige had 2 seizures- not that fun for her or us! But she hasn't had anymore so hopefully won't have any in 2009 either. We look forward to 2009 and what our adventure will be. We are ready for the new ride!
