Merry Christmas! This year has been a good year for us. We have been very blessed. Raely surprises us every day with something new. She is not even two and she can already count to 10! We added another member to the family. For Christmas we got Raely a pet gerbil. Lets just say that it is a lot easier than a dog! His name is Olie and he is only a couple months old. She loves him! Cody is doing so well at work. He has also started his own business and we have just made our first official sell. He was so excited. We hope that this next year is as good to us as the last and we hope that every one has a better year. Our plans for this next year is to go a cruise in February, go to Minnesota in May, and MAYBE add another little one to the family. Just for all you speculators, that doesn't mean that we are having one now. Good luck to everyone in the new year and we love and miss you all!

Merry Christmas! We've had a great Christmas...the organized chaos at the Christmas Eve party at our house was fun. We had all of our kiddos at the house except for Cody, Hillary and Raely, we missed them a lot but did get to visit with them on the web-cam. Raely was pretty intrigued at first by all of the kids. Alex laughed and cried watching the new moving Elmo toy. Morgan looved the two Elmo toys - she laughed and laughed as they talked to each other. Terrix had fun with his new Catepillar dump truck. Amber played a Christmas guitar song, Travis played guitar and Sammy sang a solo. There were Guitar Hero competitions; I'm not sure who won...Jakobe or Jordan...I'm out of the loop. We women were busy in the kitchen...which I agree is unusual for me. The men played guitar. Mike got a new violin for Christmas...I'm thinking another remodel...a music room. Mike likes the wall-to-wall guitar and amps look for the family room. Charlie suprised us all when he walked in the house with a fully cooked and pineaple decorated ham; a bean casserole, Krupkraka, and candied yams. Who would know he was so talented! Niki seemed to love her Vikings jacket, she wore it all night even though it was 100 degrees in the house. Jakobe, Ayden, and Bowde wore their Viking caps all night. It was a good night, more fun things going on that would take all day to write about. The bottom line - it was a blessing to spend time with our family. We also had a lot of fun at the Park City Christmas trip a few weeks ago. Life is good!

It looks like you guys had a great Christmas! Raely is getting so big. I bet she had a ball opening up all of her gifts. It looks like Cody was having fun putting together all of those gifts, also!! :) Take Care!
