Snow!!!






We woke early and headded to the snow! We drove to a 4wheel drive trail above the Bass Lake area. There were lots of snow mobiles...We found a place that is a campground in the summer...The kids had so much fun...Of course, I also went down the hill a few times on the sled(William too)

12-24-08



Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house...We'd just got back from "Christmas" with the Myricks(we always celebrate with them on Christmas eve day), Liam was so exhausted that Riley was the only one with energy enough to leave goodies for Santa. She made Santa a drawing. Left cookies and milk..and a carrot for the reindeer.
A few days earlier she was telling me that she wasnt sure Santa was real.. She said Nicole and Liam told her it's just the parents that put out the presents. I told her the same think my Mom told me.."when you stop believing in Santa, he stops bringing you presents". Liam said real fast, "I believe".
So tonight when I mentioned putting out the cookies I didnt know how she would react. But-She got really into it and, maybe since Liam was in bed already, she was talking about how he'd need enough good cookies..and what about the reindeer? She said she's going to listen to the bells, and mom-did you ever see him when he came to your house....

O Christmas Tree




We choose our 2008 Christmas Tree, once again, at the Atwater-Jordan Rd. xmas tree farm... Becky, Tim and their boys went at the same time. We loaded both trees ontop of the Jeep. I LOVE the way a fresh-cut tree makes the house smell. I've been looking forward to this..

Christmas Parade 2008



Last year we went to the parade, sat and watched...this year the C.A.T.C.H. kids were invited to be on a float. Both Liam and Riley were on the float. -poor kids though, It was so freezing cold!
