Christmas

Santa, Grandparents, Mom and Dad were all good to Ry and Em this year. We stayed here in NV to celebrate and it was fun. Here are some photos to enjoy. Barbies, Transformers, doll houses, Hulk gloves, OH MY!

Car is home safe and sound (free)

My baby is home and she doesn't make a sound! Finally!!! WAHOOO...

What is the purpose of Christmas? Why did Jesus come to earth?

1. To erase the misconceptions about God.
2. To demonstrate the love of God.
3. To enable a relationship with God.

Christmas is only 4 days away, WoW, this year has come and gone by so fast. The kids are out of school for 3 weeks, I don't go back to school until Jan (something? better check lol) I am so thankful for the things that I have..a warm home, food to eat, a job, my husband, kids (even though they drive me up a wall at times), most of all I am thankful for the atonement of Jesus Christ. He came here to show me that God loves me and wants me to be with him again someday.

I hope that all are well this Christmas season...here is our Christmas card for 2008 (it only took 124 photos to get the right photo although I look like poo) and some other fun photos to enjoy.

Love you all and God Bless!

Update 12.15.08

My car is still in the shop awaiting/receiving a new transmission, here is the story...about 9 months ago we took the car in to get a tapping noise in the engine addressed, it came home with a new short block (did I get that right honey?)

It then started to leak oil, took it back in and it underwent a new transmission case...

Then...there was this awful noise coming from the transmission, took it back in and got bearings replaced.

Got it back and it still had the awful noise, so now it is getting a new transmission. This is a 2002 car that only has 61,000 miles on it. We shouldn't have had them open her up in the 1st place, but we are hoping that she comes back to us good as new.

In the mean time I am driving my dream car, compliments of Capital Ford's $$, a Chevy Malibu YUMMMM YUMMMM ;)

It's cold out, been snowing all day, should be 8 sometime this week. Got the rest of my cookies made, laundry is on it way to being done, (just have to put it away now BLAH) dishes are washing (I love the dishwasher :))

Sunday night we went to a Live Nativity that a local church puts on, then we went my the gov. mansion to see it all decked out for Christmas, here are some photos :) Some are blurry but that is what I get for taking them from a car :) 1st one is just a cool pic of a tree :)

Christmas is about the Gift and the Giver.
