Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We are all healthy and happy (most of the time)! This year we hosted Christmas Eve with the Harmon clan. We had our traditional steak sandwiches and enjoyed our busy house! Christmas day we enjoyed opening our gifts with our own family and Aaron. This year Santa had a surprise on the tree! After all the gifts were opened the kids noticed the clues in the tree. Each of us had a treasure hunt for the last gift. They had a blast searching for each clue that took them to their final gift! So much fun. Even mom and dad had a clue that Aaron had made. It was so creative and fun! We will enjoy a weekend away while he babysits one last time before heading to Germany. Also we enjoyed watching as each kid opened the gift they got each other. They use their own money they have earned to buy each other gifts. This is moms favorite part of the day. They are so excited to watch the sibling open their gift. It has made for some sweet memories on Christmas Day.
We enjoyed Grandma Lorie and Grandpa Paul's visit Christmas day

So thrilled to get gifts from each other! Carson was especially excited to watch the kids open what he bought and wrapped for them. (even if it was just a slinky)

Megan being beautiful! She got a camera this year so maybe she can start her own blog and post pictures!

Austin got a nook for Christmas! I hope he enjoys it!

Halloween 2010

Family Fun Day!

We spent a fun day together. We went bowling, out to lunch, and then to bounce U. We had a great time and especially enjoyed being together!

My nephews

We had a great visit to moms with Heidi and Mary. I loved holding both my new nephews. Love those babies!

Gunnar Crockett

Kamala and Chad had their baby boy! He was born Sept. 26 at 10:38 pm 21 inches long with blonde hair. I was lucky enough to be present for his birth. Kamala did great and was quite the funny sister in labor keeping us all laughing. She enjoyed her epidural!
