Playing in the snow!

Once it started snowing on Christmas, everybody left but Todd and Shailyn. Colby, Shailyn, Todd and Troy all went sledding. I got to go out for a few minutes while Kalli was taking a nap and have a little snowball fight and take a couple of pictures while they were close by.

Shailyn catching the snow! We have loved getting to spend more time with "Shiny" since Todd has moved back!

Christmas 2007

At 6 AM Colby was up and wondering if Santa had came and he certainly did! He brought Colby a new desk-easel and paper and crayons to draw! Colby drew everyone pictures! Colby really took the time to look at each present he got and he also wanted to put it away as soon as he was done looking at it. Of course the kids got socks and underwear. Colby wanted them on right away and then put the rest away in the drawer before opening anything else up!

I think Colby liked Kalli's presents as much as his. He has even played with Kalli's new doll.

Christmas Eve

Well we held Christmas Eve and Christmas here for the Hoskovec's. It was a good time and tons of good food. Yes, we had our Christmas Goose! We spent time visiting, watching tv and playing around. It was a good time!

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Mitch got a new puppy for Christmas and brought it over the other night for us to see! Colby loves the pup! I have to admit it is pretty cute!

Christmas Card

Here is our Christmas card this year! I was a little bit behind this year in getting it out and getting it done, but it did and I think it turned out good!
Here is all of our practice shots! It was hard for us to get a good shot this year!

Oh mom and dad I love you!
CHHEEESSSEEE!
