2008 Christgiving - Part 2

As promised, here are some of the present pictures from Christgiving...


Audrey got a big fluffy pink poodle as one of her gifts and she really seemed to love it.


In fact, Jackson seemed to like it, too.


Jackson got some cool ink stamp sets with stamps of bugs, farm animals and Africa animals. And he got a Richard Scarry book (I believe it was Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day).


Audrey also got some costume jewelry like this tiara...


...and this frilly pink tutu.


Finally, here is a picture of the four sibs. The last time we were all together was in December 2006, in the same pose. Jackson decided to get in on the fun this time.

Now I'm going to try going back to bed. I woke up at 3am and couldn't fall back asleep so I came to tinker on the computer.

Laura's Birthday Dinner

Saturday we had a nice birthday dinner for Laura while Ruben was in town and Andrew was visiting. Here are a few pictures from my camera, and we'll add more from Laura's camera soon.

Happy Birthday, Lil' Sis

This is a snapshot that Jack will appreciate - a big brother and his little sister - how time flies, eh, Mom and Dad? This was taken in the back yard of the house on Brainard - I don't remember the occasion, but strange as it may seem, I DO remember getting the shot taken because it was my idea to be half way down the slide - see me gripping the side tightly so we won't slip? It's very strange the things our brains file away -- like Monroe, Utah... right, Pop?
