On Sunday Kirsti and family went to sacrament meeting with us. The girls got to wear their Christmas Dresses again. They were so excited!! Then a quiet afternoon, and off to try and see some Christmas lights. We weren't able to find too many of them. The best ones were probably the Jolley's just around the corner from us. They have them synchrized to music you can tune in on the raido. We sat and watched their lights until they went through all 4 songs. It was fun!
On Monday we went to the movies and saw "The Princess and the Frog". The girls loved it!! It was a really cute movie. Then back to Grandma and Grandpa's for pizza. When the kids went to bed the adults watched "Star Trek #5" in blue ray!
It has been a wonderful Christmas Holiday!! I have loved everything about it. Especially being with my whole family, you just can't beat that.

Today Thomas and Sam had to go home, and Kirsti and family were coming to be with us for a few days. We are so grateful the Izatt's got up at the crack of dawn and hopped in their car (in their PJ's and all) and came to our house. Because of that we were all able to be here together for a couple hours before Tom and Sam had to leave. The Izatt's opened the presents Tommy and Sam got them and we just visited. It was a great day.

We are so happy Thomas and Sam were able to be here with us. Because they didn't arrive until 12:30 pm last night we did not get up early. Everyone was up and dressed by about 9:30 am and then we had breakfast. We then looked to see what Santa put in our Stockings and then opened our presents. It was so fun! Thomas got us a blue ray player (Santa brought us some blue ray movies), Kirsit got us a new mail box with cute covers (we really needed the mail box) and season 3 of Lost, and Rick got me a food processor, books and gift certificate to Barns and Noble. I gave Rick a carrying case for his laptop, some chocolates and movies. Oh and Santa brought us both new underwear. Yea!! We appreciate it all so much. After we were finished opening the presented Sam and I decided to give Tommy a make over. I cut his hair and Sam trimed his beard. Now he doesn't look like a scarey homeless person anymore. Be sure and check out the before and after pictures. Then Rick went and got his Mom so she could have dinner with us. It was fun having her here with us. After dinner we watched a few home movies of when the kids were little, then Jerry came over to hang out with Tom and Sam. It was a wonderful day!!

Dec. 17 - 19, 2009
Off to see the Izatt's on the 17th. Arrived in time for diner and to watch Survivor. Then off to bed.
Today, the 18th, I took Ashley out for ice cream at Cold Stones. We had a lot of fun. Had fun just being with everyone today. We had take out pizza for dinner it was really good.
Dec. 19th, today is the day Kenzie and I go see the Nutcracker. We both have been looking forward to it for a long time. But the day started out with Ashley and Blake going to get their flu shots and then Kenzie going to the doctor because she didn't feel very well. She ended up having bronchitis but the doctor said she was well enough to go to the ballet. So armed with lots of Kleenex and cough drops off we went. We had amazing seats on the main floor and just 9 rows back in the middle section. Kenzie was even able to go look down in the orchestra pit and watch them go for their break and then come back after intermission. Ballet West did a great job. It was so fun to share with my granddaughter. I had to buy her a little nutcracker for her to take home and help her remember her 1st ballet with her grandma. Then back to Kirsti's to change clothes and head home. The girls got to open a pre-christmas present before I left. They got their Christmas dresses to wear to church the next day. I was so grateful Kirsti had made me a dinner to eat on my way home. I really didn't want to have to stop. The fog was so.... bad! It didn't go away until I hit the Idaho boarder. I arrived about 10:30 pm and was so glad to be there safely.

This month has started out crazy! Both Sophie and Tenna have been sick since we boarded them for Thanksgiving. The Vet. said they must have gotten the doggy flu. Sophie is doing much better, but we are still having a hard time getting Tenna to eat. On the 7th we had our FHE Group Christmas Party. We had a delicious meal and some fun games. I love being with those people. They are so much fun!! Then on the 9th I did some baking and my visiting teaching. On the 10th I was packing to take my Mom to Becky's for the winter and we had the Ward Christmas Party that evening.
On the 11th we packed up and went to Boise. It was the longest trip to Boise I've ever taken, probably because I was so tried. We arrived at Becky's house at about 5 pm and had a wonderful dinner with Tommy, Derek & Natalie, and Becky & Scott. Becky is a wonderful cook and it tasted so good. I love being in my sisters house especially at Christmas time. They do an amazing job of decorating!! Scott had the outside really lite up. It was beautiful. And the inside was just as nice with garlands everywhere, snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, two Christmas trees, Christmas teddy bears everywhere. It really helped me get in the Christmas Spirit. (And yes I took my camera, but for some reason did not get even one picture. What is wrong with me!!) On Saturday the 12th I didn't do anything, but be lazy. I just sat around and then went and took a nap and then sat around some more. I was so tired. I wanted to rest up for the long drive home. On the 13th I just got up had breakfast, packed up and drove home.
It's good to be home, but now I've got to unpack and get ready to go to the Izatt's on the 19th. So much to do!!

Rick & I and my Mom (aka Great Grandma)stayed at the Izatt's a few days following Thanksgiving. Mom and I put up thier Christmas tree while Rick and Blake went to help the Lindquist's move. Then Blake took Kirsti to the doctor. She really was sick! She had a sinus infection, an ear infection and an infected eye. The doctor said she had probably had the sinus for at least 2 weeks. So now with some antibiotics she should feel better in a few days. Blake, Kirsti and I then put Ashley's quilt on the frames and we tied it the next day. Kenzie and Ashley were so much help. They actually did my hair while I was working on the quilt. Then we did some relaxing before heading home.
Thanksgiving
Nov. 26, 2009
This year we spent Thanksgiving at Kirsti and Blakes house. We were so excited that Thomas and Sam were able to come. (We weren't sure until the last minute because of work schedules.) Becky and Scott were also there along with Devin, Derek & Natalie, and Shelley, Mikah, Kasen and Aidan, plus Great Grandma Robison. It was crowded but lots of fun! Kirsti made the cutest turkey out of fruits and vegies and cheese for us to snack on if we got hungry before dinner. The only bad part was the fact that Kirsti was sick and really not feeling well. We all tried to help her as much as we could. Everyone brought part of the dinner and that helped. It was so nice being with everyone again.
Today was also Great Grandma Robison's birthday. So we had a birthday party after dinner with candles in the pumpkin pie. Her great grandchildren loved helping her with her presents. We also let the kids wish on wish bones from 2 cornish hens Kirsti and Blake had a few weeks earlier. It was a wonderful day!!
