-From Halloween to New Year's-


Happy 2009!!! I would say that one of my New Year resolutions would be to be a better blogger but than I think I would be lying:) Maybe someday!!!! We just had a little party for New Year's at my house. We played games, laughed, and ate until we couldn't walk!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas because we sure did!! It's so fun when kids get a little older and they can get so into the spirit of things! Brooke didn't want to go to bed, she just thought she would wait for santa to come!!! It was so cute:)

Tucker got Papa Mark a "Big Truck" just like the real ones!

Now isn't that a cute picture!!!
The make-up that she wanted soooooooo bad! Nothing else could really compete!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!! THE BIG 26!!!!!

The Christmas party at Great Grandma Tucker's house!! The kids loved Santa!!
Tucker & Uncle Curtis
I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME!!!! This is my family in the Mexico airport getting ready to leave after the funnest week ever!!! It was so much fun getting so see Coba, Eckbalaum, Chitinitza, swimming with the dolphins, going to wet & wild, snorkeling in the ocean, and going on the zip line. Oh and just staying at an amazing resort:) I would recomend staying at Moon Palace it was great!

Making chocolates is a tradition that we have done every since I can remember! Every year my Mom say's this is going to be the last year because there is so much work that goes into making them! But we do have a good time being together!!

All the finished product!!! I wish I had some to snack on right now:)
My cousin got married in the Monticello Temple on the way there we stopped at Wilson's Arch and climbed to the top!!! Something that we did everytime we went past it as a child. It was fun to do and it brings back such fun childhood memories:)

Grandpa & Brooke
And FINALLY. . . .The Halloween pic's I promised!! Brooke is Cinderella and Tucker is The Prince! They were so cute together!!

OH you have such a cute family! You have been busy! Glad you guys are doing well. Are you feeling better yet?

PS The Monticello temple is my temple district now-- but not too close about 3 hours away! Still it is a nice little temple and I love driving through Moab :)
