THE GROTTO

For Labor Day we took a quick hike with Mark's family to the Grotto.  It was great escape for the morning. 

WDW Character Parade

This is the pictures with their favorite characters from our Dineyworld Trip.  We had an amazing time.  I need to sit down and write down some of our favorite memories when I find a second.  Both of them loved seeing the characters and having them sign their autograph books.  Luke loved seeing Buzz, Lightning, Mater and Stitch but his favorite was Jasmine.   I thought I was going to have to pull him away from her.  Sydney loved Daisy, Timon and Cinderella of course.   

Christmas 2008

                                                                  Christmas Morning

(The kids let us sleep until 8:00.  We had Grandpa, Grandma and 

                          Amanda up for  breakfast.)

                                                                Lights on Temple Square 

         with my family

                                                                Our version of the nativity

                                       Charlene and Marylynn's families came from out of town.

It is so much fun when Mark's family all get together.                                       

  
Wow!  It has been a crazy month.  Time has been flying by so fast.  We have barely had a second to slow down this holiday season.  We had a lot of fun spending time with family and friends.  We kept Christmas a little simpler this year, and it was great.  The kids were so good.  Sydney loved her Leapster and Luke has greatly enjoyed his train set.  Of course they were spoiled by wonderful grandparents.  They really got into GIVING this year which was so fun to see.
