I'm so sorry I've been such a horrible blogger. But the good news is that now through the boring month of January, I still am going to have lots of fun Christmas pictures up!

I want to hurry and get my Christmas card up before it's over a month late ;) !! I printed out a few for the parents and siblings, but, because I am the ABSOLUTE WORST at sending out cards, I didn't get ANY mailed this year. I put these two things on a red Walmart photo card:

1) I had a photo session with the kids in some cute headwear, and just couldn't narrow it down to one favorite picture. They had lots of fun horsing around for the camera, and I think it shows. (click on picture for a full screen view)
.

and 2) a neighbor from our ward had come over earlier that evening to get a photo for our "spotlight" in the Sacrament meeting program, and I had him take some pics of us with my camera as well:

So, to all my friends and family out there, Merry Christmas!! (Better late than never, I guess!) I hope you all had wonderful holiday seasons filled with warmth, love and happiness and I wish you the best 2009 possible!

We did receive lots of wonderful cards :) and this shows how we displayed them in our giant metal wall art thingy:

. I wanted you to get a better look at the gorgeous photo cards we got, and because my scanner is crap, I had to photograph them. This, of course, doesn't do them justice, but at least you will get an idea of their awesomeness:



My sister Sarah's kids in a pic that she took at Bear Lake this summer.

My youngest sister Joy's girls playing in the snow. (If you can't make out the sentiment, it reads, "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas -- Because other colors of snow aren't so yummy" :D )




My dear friend Carolyn's family in their new home in Colorado.

And my cousin Hilary's darling family, who live in Salt Lake.

We also got cute cards from parents, grandparents, neighbors, and some friends from our old neighborhood--the Willards and the Newmans! Thank you all so much! Someday I hope to be on the ball like you!
