Christmas morning 2008

Sara and Parker on Christmas morning this year.Parker asked for new,big speakers for his car to go with his new stereo(the bigger and louder the better)and Sara had asked for a "chi" hair straightener so she can quit stealing mine out of my bathroom and me having to go back to her bathroom and bring it back up for me to use. We all opened the rest of their gifts and then we headed to Newmans for breakfast and opening more gifts.



Christmas Eve 2008


On Christmas Eve every year we have two traditions---going to dinner with my side of the family (here is a pic of Brett,Beth,Jenna and Brea at Tepanyaki) which Sara and I eat at and then heading to Trents parents house for another dinner , which Trent and Parker eat at.Following our dinner at Newman's,the kids unwrap their new pj's from Grandma Newman and then we take our Christmas Eve family photo so here is this years(sorry Marnie's eyes are closed--it was the only pic I had).

3 Dogs just "hangin out"


So this is how the dogs feel during the holidays too--just "pooped out". Must have had a very busy day barking .

Dallin and Tessa



Here are some fun pics of Dallin and Tessa a few weeks ago when they got to come play at our house while their parents went to a movie for a few hours.Tessa had a lot of fun with the dogs and Dallin enjoyed eating both of his kids meals--he was very hungry.

Sara turned "20" on Dec. 3rd and yes I know--"I must be really old then". Grandma Newman made her yummy dessert and I of course forgot to bring any candles(so we pretended).Parker gave her the "elf" movie she had wanted and her sweet boyfriend Zach(who is in the marines and stationed in Japan right now) sent her a dozen beautiful roses and a dozen birthday balloons.Jax(Grandma Newman's pug) wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday also.
