A Very Merry CHRISTMAS!
























Another wonderful Christmas...
full of love, laughter, traditions..and Grandparents spoiling their Grandchildren (as you can tell)!!

We had a great year with sweet little Navie and Boston was a blast! We really feel so fortunate and blessed as a family!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a great New Year!








































a NEW tradition...

since me and Theresa (my sister-in-law) were in charge of the Christmas Eve party this year, we decided to do something a little different. Instead of the usual money spent on a gift exchange for all the adults, we gathered the money that wouldv'e been spent and bought Christmas for a family instead. We bargain shopped and with only $200 we were able to provide this family with a GREAT Christmas, groceries included! On Christmas Eve we told everyone about this family and showed them this picture of what we had purchased. After we made the drop the sweet mother called her Bishop in tears. It really touched our hearts and really set the tone for Christmas! ..definitely my FAVORITE Christmas memory!
