Here is the SHORT VERSION- CHRISTMAS 2008

Fun, Fun, and more FUN!!!

Tyler got into the whole Santa thing this year. He asked him for a forklift every time he saw him. Thank heaven's Santa came through. 

Santa visited my mom's ward christmas party. He knew my kids quite well!!! Grandma knew him on a very very personal basis. And we even caught Grandma stillin' a kiss from Santa claus under the misletoe. (hee hee).  He made a special visit to see the grandkids at the house after the party. They sang songs and sat on his lap. Meili DIDN'T know what to think though!

Falling. . . .

Love it- had to post it. . . Falling. . . . . 

Tyler got to play with his cousins and loved that. Him and Camden play so good together and are two little peas in a pod. 

We cooked a lot of YUMMY food. Cafe Rio was a hit we ate it like 3 times. Along with Ribs, grilled salmon, grilled burger, just to name a few.  Meili had fun helping with the flour.

 

she is starting at a young age to play:

This is just a funny picture of Ty wearing my mom's dress-up glasses. Actually I think they were her's when she was little? if not, then my grandma's old ones.

Hangin with Grandpa

We put the kids to work shoveling snow. Meili even got to help Grandpa out. 

Her first SNOW experience.. . Don't know about this cold?

Meili got a new dress to wear for the Christmas Eve party.

While I was there I had so much fun working on craft projects, and christmas presents with my mom. Just a few of the projects we did were:

I made 2 wedding albums for my sisters. It took me about 1 week per book of solid working. They turned out GEORGOUS. 

We made neclaces for all the girls in the family. They turned out so dang cute. 

I made a couple quilts while there

My mom and I collaborated and did a temple picture of the Salt Lake Temple. Sorta like the $500.00 ones at Deseret book. They look like an old Vintage photograph. They turned out really cool. We had a company make us frames. Me and my sister in law got them for Christmas. Mine had to be shipped though- can't wait for it to arrive. We are working on making original prints right now because we have had a few orders for them. I will soon be doing the Timpanogos temple soon and maybe winter quarters. Aswell as Provo and Manti for special requests.
