Nelson family Christmas party, 2008


The biggest announcement of the day came when Paul gave me a present to open. It was an ornament that said "Baby's first Christmas, 2009. I felt bad that he had accidentally picked up one with the wrong year. I thought he could use a marking pen and change the year to 2008. I think I was the last person to realize that they were announcing the new expected arrival of baby #2! in August, 2009!!!!!! Goodnes gracious! I am so excited!
The whole happy family sitting still, almost, for a family picture. Kayden is on the run! We even have both the dogs, Parle and Jack. The food was great and I loved having everyone at our home for Christmas. Gifts were exchanged between cousins and brothers and sisters. It helped so much to have Amy staying with us for a few days. We were able to attend a session at the Bountiful Temple, run at the Community center in the morning and sitll be ready for the early arrival or the Walters family. We ate in two sessions and everyong got to sit at the big table. Everyone brought something for the dinner so it wasn't a burden on any one family or person(ME)

Love the picture. I'm glad that we were able to get all of us together. Thank you for your efforts; I know it can be trying. I'm glad you are blogging and hopefully will be able to do it on your own now.
