Christmas 2008

For Christmas Eve, we were at my mom's house and had her sister Becky (my aunt) over for gift exchanges with her. Of course, my niece Arden and her family were there also. On Christmas Day, we were at my dad's house during the first half of the day. We did gift exchanges and ate lunch while there. Then we were back to mom's house that afternoon for more gift exchanges. I got to see Arden 3 days in a row while they were in town for Christmas during all this back-and-forth running from mom's house to dad's house the last few days. There weren't a whole lot of pictures taken at mom's house and I didn't get any at dad's house because my camera battery was dead and I had accientally left my camera at mom's house the night before, anyway.








I tried to find more, but apparently these are the only pictures I took at mom's house for Christmas.

Church Christmas Party

I went to our church's ward Christmas party yesterday evening. We ate good food and sang Christmas carols. The activity we did was called "Remember the Lyrics", during which one person at each table would finish part of the song that everyone started singing when prompted. it was really cute and funny because some of the individuals would make up words or they just sounded funny while singing by themselves. I chose not to take my camera to this event for various reasons, and so there are not pictures of this to see, but that's okay.

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving at the Lewis Home

This year, we went to the Lewis home (Allison's inlaws) on Thanksgiving Day. Here are some pictures of us hanging out.

















The picture below is a 3-generation picture of my mom, Allison, and Arden. I think it looks funny because mom has a smile on her face with her eyes shut, lol!


There were many more pictures that I took but too many to add here. Arden's "First Thanksgiving" pictures are located under the "Arden's Firsts" posting. I took some really good "pacifier pictures". I love the brown outfit that her parents chose for her to wear.

Annual Thanksgiving Reunion at Dad's House

We had a family reunion at my dad's house on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I got to see all of my aunts and uncles and some of my cousins with their families. Here are some of the many pictures I took at the reunion.








Of course, there are many more pictures that I took but too many to put here.
