Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

The kids at the zoo this summer



This is a time of reflection, a time to get organized, and a time to set new goals. Mark made me a video for Christmas of the best of 2007. I absolutely loved it. Looking back we had a pretty good year thanks to all of you and your support. We are getting excited for the new year and the new beginning.

Christmas Morning

Christmas came and it came just the same. Santa,like always, left us a room full of balloons. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

The Christmas Spread

There is nothing better than Christmas Eve dinner. At our table we usually serve ham, gourmet potatoes, spinach balls, green bean casserole, and stuffing. We decided to skip the green bean casserole and stuffing. In its place we added a pineapple cheeseball, veggies, and a Honeybaked Ham (thanks to Marks work-yummy). Oh, and don't forget the spicy mustard sauce for the ham and spinach balls. The cheeseball was excellent and will be an addition to every Christmas Eve dinner. After dinner the kids open their pajamas and we read "Twas the night before Christmas." We end on a spiritual note with bearing our testimonies and reading Luke in the Bible. All went well!! Riley, Camden, and Cooper looked so cute in their pajamas, and were very excited this year. Sorry, Cooper decided he didn't want his picture taken in his pajamas. Maybe next year.
