A Happy Ending to 2008...time well spent with Great friends!

We had a very eventful Christmas break. It was filled with spending time with family and with great friends! One of the highlights was having our friends visit us from Virginia! Nathaniel and Drew were reunited, as were Adriana, Abby, and Sarah! Gabriel fit right in with everyone, as did Samuel!!! Other than with cousins, our kids have never had a sleepover before. So, this was a huge moment...Not only for 1 night, but 2! It went very well!!!

Sarah and Abby were able to bring their American Girl Dolls with them. Abby and Adriana both have Mia, Sarah has Julie. They enjoyed modeling with them!

Sam enjoyed modeling with them, also!

**Back to The Park that Rings!!!**
We went with another dear family of ours to the park where you take hammers and hear ringing. It was FREEZING and very fun! A note about that day was that Aaron happened to be the only husband who could go with us. As we were on our way to the park, we stopped at a McDonald's for lunch. Our family has 4 kids, Jennifer's has 3 kids, and Michele's has 5 kids! As we entered into McDonald's, I heard a family say, "Whoa, are they all related?"! I had to laugh, and the first thing that came to my mind was that we must look Mormon! We all felt the need to call Aaron, "Daddy" for the rest of the day! ;0)
