Christmas

Christmas this year was a bittersweet time. It was sweet because of the season and all the fun, excitement and celebrating the birth of our Savior. But bitter because two days after Christmas I left for Great Falls MT to start my 2 month Paramedic internship. I will be posting pictures of that later this week if I have the chance. Merry Christmas and a very Happy, Prosperous New Year to all of you!!

It is tradition at our home, that on Christmas eve we open one present, that present being pajamas. Then we sit and listen to a tape Gramma Mamie made for us about the Christ child and his birth out of the New Testament. We love this tradition.














Waiting to come upstairs to see what Santa had to bring. Maybe a big lump of coal, haha




Shelby loved her new snowboard gear, Chelsea was soooo excited to get a snowboard, boots and bindings, Micah had a ball with his remote control laser battle helicopters and Kadee wouldn't get off her horse to play with anything else.






















Last but not least was the surprise for Lynn. He thought that he wasn't getting anything until after Christmas because that's what we do for him and I. I got him a new tripod for his camera that he had been wanting for a long time. See the look on his face, he was trying to look mad but he was really excited.

Oh, good luck with your internship! I'm sure it will be hard, but you'll do great and hopefully it will go by so fast. Those Christmas pictures are so cute. That pic of Kadee riding her horse with her hair flying out behind is awesome.
