A few more Christmas day photos



White Christmas!

Looking outside from our front door across the street. Check out all that whiteness.


It's hard to see Connor in the middle photo, but he is holding a huge chunk of ice.


Allison made her 100 piece puzzle twice on Christmas day.






Sometimes, I just wish I could keep the kids little forever. I love the spirit of Christmas!

The kids played in the snow on Christmas day. Tanner and Quinn made snow angels.

The presents were exciting and Santa finally got the hint and left a DS for the kids to share.

We ended the day with a game of Imaginiff from our Lehi Greenwoods. The kids had played and played all day long.

I was grateful to be able to sleep some and to cook yummy food and clean up the kitchen (so the kids could play and play.)


It was a good Christmas!

A couple December 24th photos



Keith and Tamara and kiddos had us for Christmas this year on the Greenwood side. We were given some very fun BYU things! I am now the proud owner of a pink BYU t-shirt. I wore it all Christmas day. The kids opened one gift on Christmas Eve. Tanner opened his marbles from Andrew. In no time, there was a circle on the rug made out of tape so that he could try the marbles out! Quinn was shooting his new gun from a Colorado Prince cousin.


Thanks for the fun all you guys.

Christmas Eve 2009





It really snowed on Christmas Eve!
It was quite unbelievable.

We ate a delicious meal at the other Arlington Greenwoods and acted out the nativity.

Dressed for Hit and Run


A tradition from growing up that I like to do with our family now, is to "Hit and Run!" You may be more familiar with "Ding-dong Ditch!" I think it's all the same. Instead of making goodies, we got candies and fruit and assembled them for our friends and neighbors. It's not totally anonymous, as we put reciever's names on the package, and the dead give-away as the kids leave the front porch:

"Hurry, Allison! Run, run, aahhhhh! Ha ha ha!! Shhhh!"

It's so much fun!

(Tanner is sporting his "Hit and Run 2009" athletic clothes. The black shirt and shorts were to keep him hidden, and he is wearing the red and white shirts because he was hopeful to be sleeping outside that night in the backyard in the tent. And he's wearing his cleats because he couldn't find his shoes. Wow, he looks fantastic!)

Why we went with a collage this Christmas


I don't think I need to explain this much more.

Tanner is Nine!




Happy Birthday, Tanner! What a fun boy to have in our family. Tanner scored with a new t-shirt, some money, a game cube game, a game boy game, and a charger for the game boy to get it back into play. He got blueberry bagels, juice, bacon and eggs for breakfast "in bed." (It ended up at the kitchen table.)
