Amy's new Friend

Amy liked Frances so much when Ryan and Anna were here that they sent her her own "Frances" for Christmas. Amy loves it and has been carrying and kissing it all afternoon. It is so sweet.

Christmas Day 2007

The kids have had a really fun Christmas Day. We woke up at about five o'clock this morning and came down to open gifts. It was so fun to see the kids open their gifts and see that they received what they wanted.

Christmas Eve 2007

We were able to have Christmas Eve dinner with Steve's grandparents and mom. Our menu's main course was grilled out steaks and salad. It was the first time I had had steak for Christmas, and I loved it. The kids each got to open one gift before going to bed, and they chose to open the gifts from Steve's Aunt Jeanette. This video is of Michael and Tommy doing their newly learned "armpit fart". Yes... we teach our kids the most important things in life!

Amy and Frances

Ryan and Anna brought their sweet dog Frances with them from San Diego. All the kids love her, but it funny how much Amy liked her, and wasn't afraid at all. She thought Frances' toys were there for her to play with.

Fun With Uncle Ryan

The kids had a great time playing with

their Uncle Ryan and

Aunt Anna after Thanksgiving dinner.

It was so great to have them over.DOG PILE RYAN!!!

We've Finally Joined the 21st Century!!

I've decided to go ahead and make this online family scrapbook blog. I hope everyone likes it and can use it to keep up with the goings on in our family.

This is our first picture together in a long time! This photo was taken in May in Phoenix. We have been living here since January. We made it through our first (and hopefully last) Phoenix summer. Although the heat wasn't nearly as bad as we anticipated, we plan to move back to Denver sometime Mid-2008.
