Merry Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas. Losing Brittea helped remind us how important we are to each other and we really enjoyed having family time together. I'm grateful that all the kids could be here for our last Christmas in the West Jordan house. It just worked out that way and we had a great time. We had fun at the Jensen Christmas Eve party, visited with Grandma and Grandpa Harward, then opened Christmas jammies. Christmas morning was a little weird in our empty family room but was still fun. We went to the Dailey's for Christmas morning breakfast burritos. I don't know what it is about Debbie's breakfast burritos, but they are always the best. You can't eat just one, and when you try to make a second one that is small, it never turns out that way. After breakfast, we went back to the house and baked a turkey and relaxed, then went to Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's to exchange gifts. Many of Kenny's family came over about the same time and we had some more fun together.
For Christmas, the kids gave us a new camera. I'm really excited about it and I expect I'll use it more than Kenny but I'll try to share. Now I hope to include more pictures in my posts because I won't be borrowing Logan's camera.
The only damper on the day was KC and Tawni's trip back to Logan. It snowed all day long. When they headed to Logan, they made it okay to Brigham City, but couldn't get up the canyon. Their car got stuck multiple times in Brigham City before the ended up getting towed to a hotel and staying the night. Then, then next morning, Sardine Canyon was closed unless you had 4 wheel drive or chains, so they just came back to Salt Lake. I'm glad that they were safe. Kenny bought them some chains for their tires in case they have to go through Sardine Canyon in the snow.
Merry Christmas. We are very grateful for our blessings and for the Savior's birth.
I hope that you were able to enjoy the holiday with those that you love.

Looks like fun! You are going to miss your West Jordan house, even though you are happy in your Logan house. Tawni's hair cute is very cute!

We're so happy you all got together for Christmas and had a good time.

Love you!

I mean to say "Tawni's hair cut is very cute!" Her cute is cute too, but I was talking about her cute hair.

I just looked at the picture of Breanne in the empty family room wrapped up in her blanket with her glasses. She looks just like she did when she was 10 years old!
