2008 Christmas

Our Christmas Break went by sooo fast. It was very fun and comforting to be around family. We actually had the privilege of being around the kids for the whole week. It was one big slumber party the whole time. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

Being with my family reminds me of our strength and unity. This strength continues to surpass my expectations with each trial we overcome.

Here are some fun photo captures!!! Yes, I am my father's daughter. I take pictures of pictures! And I'd just like to add that we make it easy to look this good. ;)

Christmas Day- Stockings were opened at like 10 or 11am, then we had a late, late breakfast, AND then we had the opening of the presents. We personally liked this schedule.

Thanks to Melissa and her elves, they created enough marshmallow shooters for everyone to have fun with. I especially think dad was the most active shooter!!

Tim is already making adjustments, while Aislinn is mastering her stance.

Dang Michelle... aiming at your own child.... ;)

Alex has been caught. Way to go Michael!

Take a close look at Antonio's face, he is loving every minute of it.

I told you.... Dad has mastered his shooter and has "no mercy."

Even though Peter wasn't actually playing he still was an open target for the striped duo.

I believe little Sergio was making his case for just eating the marshmallows--- even if he picked them up from the street.

Sofia, realized that talking about it was not necessary. Its almost like Easter.

Aislinn, still had a lot of ammo to celebrate her victory.

Unfortunately, Tim got sick on Christmas day and he is still fighting it over a week later. Yes this means we took the long drive home anticipating sickness problems. Thankfully, Heavenly Father was guiding us and comforting Tim. In no way could I have driven the whole trip on my own; Tim actually drove about 45% of the time. This was a huge help. Thanks honey for being such a trooper! Love ya'.

All in all as a family we got to be together. We shared. We loved. We had a good time. That is all that matters during the holidays. We hope for future experiences together.

We still have hope that we can be united together forever.
