Christmas morning

Christmas morning comes early at our house
for some reason our children still get up at 6:00 am...
This year was no different they were up and trying
to pull us out of bed..... I am way to old to be getting
up early on my day off....

We all had a very Merry Christmas.
We were so happy that Mom and dad came and spend it with us.
I did make my way back to bed for a morning nap
before our company arrived.

Our Crazy Ravin Dog

Our dog Ravin is so spoiled.
Lonnie never wanted a dog
a few years ago, I gave
into the kids and told
them they could have a
dog. So when Lonnie got
back from a business trip
I told him that we were getting
a dog. Well needless to say
Lonnie is totally crazy about our dog.

Ravin is treated just like one of
the kids... So the other
day Kassi came home
with a tutu from work and
guess what..............

Ravin so proud of her tutu!!

Striking a poise with her tutu!!

Ravin always gets her stocking first
it is so funny to watch her.. She is just
like a big kid..

Temple Lights with my brother and his family

This year we planned to do the Temple lights
with Bly and Mary Lou
It had rained all day and it was cold.
We started the evening out
with Pizza and wings at our house.
We was glad that Deke and Mekell
and kids came over for that.
Sorry we was too busy eating to get any
pictures of that. But enjoy our trip to the Temple.

Surf n Santa 5th grade play

Since Kassi was in Elementary School

our children has got to be
involved in the 5th grade play.

This year Konner got to be in the
5th grade play and he was so excited.

I was sad because he is my baby and
this is the last time that my kids
will get to do the 5th grade play again.
But I know they will have other
opportunities to do other performances.

Konner was a mail worker in the play

He was so cute and really did great.
